Cale Makar can sign an extension with the Colorado Avalanche this summer. It sounds like Joe Sakic doesn't think that will be a problem.

The Calgary Flames drafted a Stanley Cup champion, Conn Smythe trophy winner, and Canadian olympian with the 4th overall pick in 2014.
Too bad Sam Bennett did all that with the Florida Panthers.
Bennett is the highest draft pick in Flames history.

The Calgary Flames drafted Calgary Wranglers goaltender Mike Vernon in the 3rd round of the 1981 draft.
Vernon went on to have a hall of fame career winning two Stanley Cups with the Flames and Red Wings.
Vernon's #30 was retired by the Calgary Flames in February of 2007.

Al MacInnis was selected 15th overall by the Calgary Flames in 1981.
This will go down as a one of the great draft picks in the history of the organization.
MacInnis is first in every major statistical category among Flames defencemen.
His claim to fame is winning the Conn Smythe Trophy in 1989 when he put up 31 points in 22 games, leading the Flames to their one and only Stanley Cup.

2013 was the only year the Calgary Flames made three picks in the first round of the NHL draft.
They hit a home run with Sean Monahan at 6th overall. But they swung and missed with Emile Poirier and Morgan Klimchuk.
The rest of the draft class played a combined 37 games. They were all from John Gilmour who played for the New York Rangers and Buffalo Sabres.

Darnell Nurse submitted a 3-5 team list of teams he'd be willing to get traded to. Who does this guy think he is?

We're looking back on the best draft picks in Calgary Flames history 🔥
We start with Hakan Loob who was a 9th round pick by the Flames in 1980 🤯
Loob is the only Swedish born player to score 50 goals in an NHL season 🇸🇪
He played six seasons in Calgary and was a big part of the 1989 Stanley Cup winning team 🏆
