Actually, you don't need to be a franchise player to be able to spark and carry a line by yourself. Guys like O. Jokinen, Ribero, Derek Roy do a pretty good job of it.
Different positions, but I've liked John Carlson more since the draft and he's way more of an impact player. While Neimsz has closed the gap between him and Carlsson over the season, I still wish the Flames had Carlsson in their cupboard.
