Flames will be drafting from the top again with this line-up. I can't stand the idea of watching the whole season of the hockey we are seeing now. How can anyone see Backlund on the first line? He is OK but, seriously, top line? Third, at best. The sad reality is Flames do not have top-tier prospects in the pipeline. This is nobody's fault. Just a reality of playing in the middle for several seasons. There are good UFA's coming available this summer. I hope Feaster gets busy and signs 2-3 big and serious players to build the team around. I really do.
