Flames Sixth Pick: Hits and Misses

The Calgary Flames are set to draft sixth overall for the sixth time in franchise history — a spot that’s been both a golden ticket and a gamble. Despite finishing with the fourth-fewest points, their lottery luck dropped them two spots. Their best-ever pick? Fourth overall, achieved just once. The sixth pick has delivered stars like Cory Stillman and Matthew Tkachuk, but also duds like Daniel Tkaczuk and Rico Fata. While legends like Paul Coffey were born from this slot, others barely cracked the NHL. With Sean Monahan’s solid but ultimately limited tenure and the recent success of Tkachuk, the Flames are hoping this time brings a breakout star — because sixth can be magic… or a mirage.
