As it stands, the Calgary Flames have four second-round picks. We’ve already looked at the history of the other three, but the 55th overall pick, originally owned by the Ottawa Senators, is an interesting one.

Gang, the Calgary Flames are a team that’s tended to rise and fall based on the quality of their drafting.
