I'm hopeful that with the Flames' struggles this year college free agents look at this team as a good opportunity to get to the NHL quickly (like the Leafs with Bozak, for example).

I guess by going from regular Heat watchers feedback, Lamb has shown improvements, hopefully that continues. He has NHL size, and is an ok skater by all accounts, plus D men with right handed shots are few and far between in the Flames system.
I just hope now that the Flames are putting more effort into the NCAA route, that they can start reeling in guys who will have more of an impact a lot sooner, as opposed to these project type college free agents who are long shots to even make the NHL.
