Walker Duehr had a confusing AHL season with the Calgary Wranglers

Walker Duehr had quite a year of growth in the Calgary Flames organization. He skated in his historic first NHL game in the 2021-22 season and by the end of the 2022-23 season, he had a more regular role up with the Flames. The odd thing is, the skills he brought to the NHL didn’t…
