Back in 2013, the Calgary Flames had the 28th overall pick which they received from the Pittsburgh Penguins after trading away fan favourite, Jarome Iginla. They used this pick on a solid WHL player in Morgan Klimchuk.
At the time Klimchuk was a very good offensive player playing for the Regina Pats and went on to have multiple seasons over a point per game.
His game though never transitioned to the National Hockey League. He did manage to put up some good numbers on occasion in the AHL, scoring over 40 points in multiple season for the Stockton Heat.
While Klimchuk will no longer be playing in hockey, he has already secured a new job in coaching:
