FlamesNation 2025 NHL Draft hub: profiles, rankings and more

For the second consecutive year, and fourth time in franchise history, the Calgary Flames will head to the NHL Draft with multiple first-round picks in tow.
Considering that the Flames are in the second year of their roster retooling process and are still trying to get younger, the 2025 NHL Draft will be another big couple of days for the hockey club. This year’s draft takes place June 27 & 28 from Los Angeles, California, and it’s the first, and perhaps last, decentralized draft. Prospects and a few league officials will be in LA, while the 32 NHL clubs remain at their home bases.
The FlamesNation writing staff, in concert with our pals at Daily Faceoff, have put together a ton of preview content to get you ready for the draft! Be sure to bookmark this page, as it’ll be continually updated between now and draft weekend!
