Flames Eye Norwegian Winger Niklas Aaram-Olsen

Calgary is doing draft homework on Niklas Aaram-Olsen, and that alone tells you the Flames are looking for upside in places most fans never check twice. The profile on the Norwegian winger suggests there is enough intrigue to put him on the board, even if he is not the name getting shouted on draft night talk shows. Teams can’t survive on first-round glory alone, and a smart pick in the middle rounds often comes from being early on a player’s projection.
