With the 54th selection in the 2025 NHL Draft, the Calgary Flames have selected Theo Stockselius. He is a big bodied centreman from Sweden.
Who is Theo Stockselius
| Season | Team | League | GP | G | A | P |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023–24 | Djurgardens Jr. | Swe-Jr | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 2024–25 | Djurgardens Jr. | Swe-Jr | 40 | 22 | 29 | 51 |
Analyzing the pick
Craig Conroy made this choice to continue addressing the Flames’ lack of young centremen. Stockselius stands at 6’2″ and weighs in at 181 pounds. He will likely become one of the tallest forward prospects on the Flames, which will make him a valuable addition. The best part of Stockselius’ game is playmaking. He proved this in Sweden in the previous season and looks to improve for next year.
What’s next for Theo Stockselius?
Stockselius will go back to Sweden to improve upon the NHL Draft. The Flames clearly have high hopes for this young centreman, who could potentially be a key piece in the future. A major occasion where Flames fans can watch him is at the upcoming World Junior Championships (assuming that he can make the team).
