NHL Draft Day 2: Who the Calgary Flames Took
Article content Postmedia Network Article content The Calgary Flames loaded up on centres in the first round of the 2025 NHL Draft on Friday night. On Saturday, they doubled-down on that approach before going after the best players available with the rest of their picks. Let's take a look at who the Flames added to their prospect pool on Saturday, with comments from director of amateur scouting Tod Button about each. Article content Second round, No. 54 Theo Stockselius Position: Centre Height: 6-foot-3 Weight: 196 lbs. Team: Djurgarden Jr. What's his story: The third centre the Flames took in three picks after selecting Cole Reschny and Cullen Potter in Friday's first round, Stockselius averaged 1.28 points per game in the Swedish junior league and models his game on Flames captain Mikael Backlund, among others. He's got size, two-way instincts and a scoring touch, too. What Button said: Update coming … Third round, No. 80 Mace'o Phillips Position: Defence Height: 6-foot-6 Weight: 233 lbs. Team: U.S. National Team Development Program What's his story: Phillips is huge, he's strong and he's physical. By no means is he a finished product, but he's a left-handed blueliner and that's something the Flames could use more of. His size alone meant he was worth a swing and while scouting reports do note he's got to cut down on the penalties he takes, there's lots of time for him to improve there. Article content What Button said: Update coming … Fifth round, No. 114 Ethan Wyttenbach Position: Left-wing Height: 5-foot-10 Weight: 180 lbs. Team: Sioux Falls Stampede (USHL) What's his story: Wyttenbach was the first ever winner of The Gaudreau Award, which goes to the USHL player who best embodies the legacy of the late Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau. That's a pretty amazing connection with the Flames, given all Gaudreau accomplished in Calgary. The right-handed winger scored 24 goals and added 27 assists for the Stampede this year and is committed to playing at Quinnipiac University next season. What Button said: Update coming … Sixth round, No. 176 Aidan Lane Position: Right-wing Height: 6-foot-1 Weight: 193 lbs. Team: St. Andrew's College (Ontario High School) What's his story: Lane is heading to Harvard next season and if that leads to him being anywhere near the player that Matt Coronato's become, this will be the steal of the draft. Even if he never reaches Coronato's heights, Lane put up 13 points in 13 games for the Brampton Steelheads in the WHL after leaving St. Andrew's College, suggesting the offensive upside is real. What Button said: Update coming … Seventh round, No. 208 Jakob Leander Position: Defence Height: 6-foot-4 Weight: 196 lbs. Team: HV71 Jr. What's his story: Leander flew under the radar throughout the pre-draft process, but he's a big, right-shot defenceman who scored once and added five assists in 39 games in the Swedish under-20 junior league this past season.
