Man, what are we, Florida now? Always need some circus-monkey to keep us entertained?
I think Flames attendance will be just fine next year with or without a top prospect. It's going to be their "taking out the trash" year, and I think everyone knows that and is willing to suck it up. Besides, we should see more Sven, Horak, Ramo/Berra, Backlund, Brodie in the lineup next year, and I think that's enough young energy for this team in terms of interest.
The last thing I want to see is them rush someone to the big leagues Oilahz-style, just to sell a few more tickets.
