Personally, I hope he has a camp that makes one of our centremen expendable, or at least moves himself to the front of the line as our first injury callup.
To hope that he's a bottom six player in 2-3 years is the kind of mentality that leads to us having two potential impact players drafted and developed since 2003; Dion and Backlund.
If/when the Flames are out of it, I'd like to see him get a shot at centering the second line, or at least the 3rd. This of course is predicated on one or both of Jokinen and Langkow being traded at the deadline.
Not to derail the thread, this just feels like its gonna be a lonnnnng season.
