Good points we don't know which is why trading all our assets for picks like HF/TSN etc thinks we should do is no gurarante of success.
The only think holding Sven back is likely injuries
The only thing holding Gaudreau back is size
Janko is a long term project with all the tools to be a star but this won't happen for 3-5 years.
Brossiot, Wortherspoon, Granlund from the 2011 class all have taken a nice step forward.
Brodie and Backlund from the previous regime are starting to really look like players (especially Brodie who was a 4t rounder).
I would like the Flames to avoid moving Iggy for a pick at this stage since he will likely be moving to a team that will draft 20-30th. I am targeting teams that have a top prospect that are willing to move. Laughton does not qualify. I still really want Krieder from the Rangers, he is abig body with a ton of speed and former teammate of Johnny Hockey. I think the Rangers would consider moving him for Iggy if they knew they could get 1-2 more years from Jarome after the trade.
