McGuire is one of those guys that, once he forms an opinion, is difficult to move off of it. That said an early season winning streak of our AHL team isn't enough to sway me to believe that the future of the Flames is a bright one. Neither is having a couple of potential prospects.
I would rather have the Rangers roster and Kreider then I would Gaudreau. I would rather have Boston's roster and Seguin then Baertschi. And if I didn't have a playoff team I would love to boast of having Hall, Yakupov, RNH, Eberle, Schultz, caliber guys in my system.
But this isn't the thread for that dreary discussion. McGuire is conveniently forgetting about key guys in the Flames system to make a point. Either that or he lacks the knowledge. Either way, boo him. I am going back to watching Gaudreau dominate the NCAA and Baertschi playing like a vet in his first year.
