The Calgary Flames have made a trade and an eighth pick at the 2025 NHL Draft. Per PuckPedia, the Flames have traded their 2026 seventh-round pick to the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for the 211th overall pick.

At 211th overall, the Flames selected centre Yan Matveiko of Krasnaya Armiya Moskva of Russia’s MHL (their top junior league.)

Matveiko is a left shot centre listed at 6’1″ and 150 pounds, and he’s an August 2006 birthday. He’s in his second year of draft eligibility, but he’s only a month older than the oldest first-time draft eligible player in this class. He had 10 goals and 14 assists for 24 points over 42 games this season in the MHL.

Matveiko wasn’t ranked by the NHL’s Central Scouting Service or any of the major public rankers.

According to Flames general manager Craig Conroy, the area scouts were split on who to take in the seventh round – Matveiko or Swedish blueliner Jakob Leander – so Conroy connected with Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman and acquired another pick so they could get both of them.

The Flames have now completed all of their selections at the 2025 NHL Draft.
