The Calgary Flames have made their third addition at the 2023 NHL Draft. With their third-round pick, 80th overall, the Flames have selected forward Aydar Suniev from the British Columbia Hockey League&#8217;s Penticton Vees.

Suniev was ranked 102nd by FC Hockey and was the 40th ranked North American skater by the NHL&#8217;s Central Scouting Service.

Suniev is a left shot winger originally from Kazan, Russia, listed at 6&#8217;2&#8243; and 192 pounds. He had 45 goals and 90 points in 50 games last season with the Vees. He&#8217;s committed to the University of Massachusetts for the coming season. He&#8217;s played in North America since he was 14, coming over without any family to live with billets and originally speaking no English.

<blockquote>
<div class="mb-5">Suniev is 6’2″ and has some weight to him as well. He skates around defenders on rushes with a lot of confidence and doesn’t seem worried that anyone can knock him off of the puck. He’s got a good combination of size with skill because he is a magician with the puck in tight around the crease. We’re still cautious because this BCHL competition can be sus at times, to say the best.</div>
