I just hope they don't sign one or two college free agents just for the sake of signing them.
They went out and signed Lamb and Eddy last off-season, and a year later I'm kinda trying to figure out why.

Another thing to consider is signing guys like Lamb and Eddy also establishes Calgary as a team that is willing to give college guys a chance. I remember Feaster at one point saying that some of the higher profile free agents were concerned that in the past the Flames weren't a team that pursued a lot of guys who went the college route, and they were unsure what kind of opportunities they could expect.
