I'm nervous, excited and a little sad at the same time.
Nervous because the draft is going to define the future of this franchise for years to come. The Flames haven't had the best drafting track record as we all know well, but because the talent this year is deep, I feel okay going in.
Excited because I want to see young players and what they can bring. I'm also looking forward to the new emergence of leaders. I have an idea in my mind who it'll be, but sometimes people surprise you.
Sad, and only a little bit, because it's tough to say goodbye to players you've grown accustomed to over the past decade. You become attached and sometime it's hard to let go. However, it's time.
As they say, change is hard but it is necessary.
