Flames Draft Stockselius, Eye Nordmark

It's April 30th. Welcome in. This is Calgary Flames News Today, where your team meets AI.

I'm Cory with the story. The Calgary Flames grab Swedish forward,

Theo Stocksellius in the second round of the 2025 NHL draft. This six-foot-two-kid

from Jurgordin's eFU20 team just led them to back-to-back national championships,

earning playoff MVP honors along the way. That Jurgordin squad was loaded with talent,

including first-round picks like Victor Eklund and Chicago's third overall Anton Frontel.

Plus, prospects like Vigil Bjork, who's headed to the top 10 in 2026.

Stocksellius stepped up big when injuries hit, dominating as their top score.

Scouts are buzzing more about another Jurgordin's forward, 17-year-old Marcus Nordmark,

who's polarizing but ranked around 13th overall. By some like Scott Wheeler,

he's a shifty left-winger with elite hands, speed, and a wicked snapshot,

though his defense draws questions. Nordmark put up 38 points to lead his U20 team,

shown internationally with nine points at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup and even debuted in,

senior play with an assist. Next year, he might stick in Sweden's top league or head to the

Ontario Hockey League with the London Knights. Flames fans might eye him if he slips into the mid-20s

with their Vegas pick top six upside as a play driver, even if they're stacked on wings.

Alrighty, keep watching this Swedish pipeline heat up for Calgary's future.
