Flames Draft Carels at Six

The Calgary Flames strike gold at No. 6 overall, selecting defenseman Carson Carels — a physical, smart, 6’2” beast who lit up the WHL with 73 points and represented Canada internationally. Drafted while tending to his family’s Manitoba cattle farm, Carels brings elite size, hockey IQ, and relentless work ethic to the ice. Already committed to North Dakota, he joins fellow Flame draft pick Cole Reschny, adding serious depth to a promising young blue line. Scouts see him as a future top-pairing defenseman — and the Flames are building a defense that could dominate for years. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
