Height: 6-foot-3

Weight: 196 lbs.
Team: Djurgarden Jr.
Article content
What's his story: The third centre the Flames took in three picks after selecting Cole Reschny and Cullen Potter in Friday's first round, Stockselius averaged 1.28 points per game in the Swedish junior league and models his game on Flames captain Mikael Backlund, among others. He's got size, two-way instincts and a scoring touch, too.

Mace'o Phillips
Article content
Position: Defence
Article content
Height: 6-foot-6
Article content
Weight: 233 lbs.
Team: U.S. National Team Development Program
Article content
What's his story: Phillips is huge, he's strong and he's physical. By no means is he a finished product, but he's a left-handed blueliner and that's something the Flames could use more of. His size alone meant he was worth a swing and while scouting reports do note he's got to cut down on the penalties he takes, there's lots of time for him to improve there.

Ethan Wyttenbach
Article content
Position: Left-wing
Article content
Height: 5-foot-10
Article content
What's his story: Wyttenbach was the first ever winner of The Gaudreau Award, which goes to the USHL player who best embodies the legacy of the late Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau. That's a pretty amazing connection with the Flames, given all Gaudreau accomplished in Calgary. The right-handed winger scored 24 goals and added 27 assists for the Stampede this year and is committed to playing at Quinnipiac University next season.

Aidan Lane
Article content
Position: Right-wing
Article content
Height: 6-foot-1
Article content
Weight: 193 lbs.
Team: St. Andrew's College (Ontario High School)
Article content
What's his story: Lane is heading to Harvard next season and if that leads to him being anywhere near the player that Matt Coronato's become, this will be the steal of the draft. Even if he never reaches Coronato's heights, Lane put up 13 points in 13 games for the Brampton Steelheads in the WHL after leaving St. Andrew's College, suggesting the offensive upside is real.

Matheson: Former Oiler Matt Benning rolling with the punches in Toronto
Article content Matt Benning is long past sweating the large stuff, like in his second season with the Edmonton Oilers when he says worry at some of his body of work caused him to lose some hair. Article content So, after his first extended season in the AHL last winter with the Maple Leafs organization after they got him and two draft picks from San Jose for Swedish D Timothy Liljegren in late October, 2024, the 31-year-old defenceman will roll with the punches when Toronto's training camp opens next month. Article content Article content Benning knows the score, this son of another NHL defenceman Brian, the grandson of his late decorated amateur hockey scout Elmer, charged with finding kids who might be able to play in the best league in the world. Matt has played close to 500 NHL games as a sixth-round draft pick in 2012—only one player, Connor Brown, from that draft class has played in more games (601) as a sixth-rounder. He has bucked fairly large odds, this former Spruce Grove Saints D, to have gotten this far. Article content He's only just turned 31 in May, so far from old but he is on his fourth team after Edmonton, Nashville and San Jose. He has played just 21 NHL games the past two seasons with his hip surgery to repair a torn labrum with the Sharks and his trade to the Leafs. He's played 464 games in the NHL and teams always covet veteran D, but the Leafs never gave him a sniff last season, burying all but $100,000 of his $1.25 million contract in the AHL after the trade of Liljegren. Article content Article content Until last season, he had only played five games in the minors for Bakersfield, coming out of Northeastern University in Boston, and making the Oilers as a free-agent in 2016. He's long been a grinder, but he has to prove he's still an NHLer as he skates at Perry Pearn's annual 3-on-3 late summer pro camp here. Article content Article content 'I was fine with it (AHL last season). I was excited to play more, find my game again after my big (hip) injury. Individually, if I felt I could be in the NHL again, then it was the right move to be down there,' said Benning, who was a starter pretty much for all of his 248 league games as an Oiler and 16 more in the playoffs. Article content 'I still think I'm an NHL defenceman' Article content He's a defenceman, in a lot of ways mirroring the career of Oilers' Troy Stecher, both right-shot D, more defenders than point-producers. The dogged, undrafted Stecher is maybe faster but he's smaller than Benning.

Smurf City: Edmonton Oilers now faster but smaller on the wing. Does size matter?
Article content This in from TSN stats analyst Travis Yost, his rating of the Edmonton Oilers wingers in the third tier in the NHL, with Florida, Tampa, the Wild, the Lightning and Los Angeles in the first tier out of five. Article content Yost had this to say on the Oilers wings: 'The Andrew Mangiapane signing was sorely needed and filled a critical role in their middle six. Not only is he a regular point producer, here's something else to consider: he's never finished a season with a negative on-ice goal differential at even strength.' Article content Article content Yost has previously rated the Oil's defence in the first tier and their goalies in the fourth tier. Article content Article content 1. One of the eternal debates in the NHL is how many smaller players a team can have and still be competitive. This is an issue for the Oilers because Florida's forwards were bigger, tougher and more aggressive than Edmonton's forwards in the Stanley Cup Final — and since that time the Oilers have said good-bye to two larger, tougher forwards in Corey Perry and Evander Kane, this after losing Dylan Holloway and Warren Foegele last summer. Article content The loss of such size and skill represents a major blow to the Oilers, with the absence of power forwards Kane and Holloway especially an issue come playoff time. Article content 2. Mangiapane may indeed be a strong two-way forward, as Yost suggests, but he's also part of an inflow of smaller wingers to the team, with him, Isaac Howard and Matt Savoie all being counted on to make major contributions. Article content Article content Article content 3. Howard is variously listed at 5-feet-10 or 5-feet-11 and 180 or 190 pounds. Savoie is listed at 5-feet, 9-inches, 179 pounds, with Mangiapane at 5-feet, 10-inches, 183 pounds. Troy Stecher is listed at 5-feet, 10-inches, 184-pounds. Do I believe these height and weight numbers? Hmm. Article content But what's clear is that in Edmonton's Top Nine, the Oilers counting on three new smaller wingers, and that goes along with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Adam Henrique, neither of them big or bulky players. When it comes to size, the Oilers have Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, playoff power forward Zach Hyman, tough guy Trent Frederic, newcomer David Tomasek and aggressive Vasily Podkolzin as Top 9 candidates. Article content 4. There have been some relatively successful smaller teams in the past, with Herb Brooks' early 1980s New York Rangers, known as The Smurfs, winning more than they lost in the regular season, but winning just two playoff series in four years. That team had a plethora of fast and smaller players such as Miracle on Icers Mark Pavelich and Rob McLanahan, Swedish stars Ulf Nilsson and Anders Hedberg, former WHA Oilers ace Mike Rogers, former WHA ace Robbie Ftorek, ex-Medicine Hat Tiger Ed Johnstone, and Finnish d-man sensation Reijo Ruotsalainen, who would win two Cups with the Oilers in 1987 and 1990.

Rogers Legends of Hockey: Common ground for Battle of Alberta goalies
Article content When the puck drops on the 2025-26 campaign, Wolf will be trying to improve on a rookie stat-line that included a 29-16-8 record, 2.64 GAA and .910 save percentage. The 24-year-old is determined to lead the Flames to a post-season berth and also wants to make his case to represent Team USA at the upcoming Winter Olympics. Article content 'What's happened in the past is in the past. You can't get complacent,' Wolf stressed prior to Saturday's tee-off at Canyon Meadows. 'We were actually just talking about this, me and a coach, this week — how do you avoid the so-called slump? You've played in every building, or you've been to every building now. You have a feel of, 'OK, I've played well in this building, haven't played well in this one.' You don't want to get complacent in buildings that you are so-called comfortable in. You have to go into each and every one thinking that it's a new day and in the mindset of you've never played here before and you're trying to prove to everyone in the building that, 'I'm going to come in and beat you.' Article content Article content 'I think that's probably the mindset right now — you can't get complacent on where you're at,' he continued. 'As a group, we're a team that has to play to our structure each and every game to have a chance. Hopefully, the goals start to come a little more frequently than they did last year. But if we're keeping goals out of our net, I think we're going to have a good opportunity to win most nights.' Article content When it comes to keeping goals out of the net, Skinner thinks the Flames are in good hands. Article content The 26-year-old has plenty of respect for his provincial puck-stopping rival and fellow Rogers Legends of Hockey participant. Article content 'Watching him play, it's something else,' Skinner said of Wolf. 'I'd say he's one of the better skaters in the league (among goalies). He has fantastic vision. I mean, to be at the level that he is and also being able to do it in a Canadian market as well, the way he's done it, is impressive to say the least. Article content 'He's been doing it for years, too. He was goalie-of-the-year in the American League. He's done a lot of damage throughout his career. And that just shows you again, it doesn't really matter what happens, he's always ready the next year. So a lot of admiration there.' Article content
