Flames' Top Prospects Breakdown | Calgary Flames News

Calgary Flames’ prospect pool is deep but lacks true top-tier talent, according to Scott Wheeler—yet two standouts could reshape the future: Zayne Parekh, the ninth-overall pick with Bobby Orr-level potential, and Carson Carels, the sixth-rounder poised to anchor the blue line. Also rising are “Star” prospects Simon Nemec, a trade-acquired defenseman ready for NHL minutes, and Matvei Gridin, a late-first-round winger primed for top-line duty. The rest? A solid support core including Cole Reschny, Hunter Brzustewicz, Cullen Potter, and Ethan Wyttenbach—all building depth. And don’t overlook Tobias Trejbal, an 18-year-old Czech goalie drafted in ’26 who’s committed to college but already showing promise. It’s a diverse, developing roster—with plenty of upside if Wheeler’s rankings hold.
