I would like to see the Flames Draft MacKinnon with their first, and the two guys from Rimouski, Fredrick Gauthier, and Samuel Morin. They are both over six and a half feet tall, and the scouting reports I have read say they can skate, and they can shoot.

I also think the Flames will be talking to RFA's about offer sheets. How funny would it be if we signed Shattenkirk, and St Louis could not afford to match because they had JBO's salary.

I think we need a Journeyman goaltender in here, since we will spend the foreseable future auditioning 4 or 5 young goaltenders. And the way he has played, why not McDonald.

And I would like them to add an experianced two-way centerman that can win faceoffs, even if it means overpaying a guy like Boyd Gordon.

Best case scenario our roster two year down the road.

Beartschi - MacKinnon - ???
Tanguay - Backlund - Hudler
Glencross - Gordon - Horak
Bouma - Reinhart - Neimsz

Gaudreau - Jankowski - Hanowski (Other possible top 6 guys)
Augustino - Gauthier - Aliu (Other possible bottom 6 guys.)

Giordano - Shattenkirk
Brodie - Wideman

Butler - Cundari
Witherspoon - Morin
Sieloff - Ramge

????
McDonald

I Like that Forward group, there is some irony in having the whole roster filled out expect 1st line RW, since that has been the most stable position in Calgary for over 20 years.

I would be nice to have all of our top 4 D-men playing their natural sides. With that group, we would have to cross our fingers that 2 of the other 6, will form a vary solid 3rd paring in 2 or 3 years.

And I guess with Goaltending, we are are all about to re-learn what it is like when you don't have a 70 game Vesina winner.
