That's not taking anything away from Backs, but I think Horak is that good. If Horak can develop his shot a bit, then watch out.

With the Wotherspoon signing last week that Erixon trade is looking better and better!
And FBI ... I like the enthusiasm and there is nothing wrong with being optimistic. I'm guessing the team is in for two to three tough years but those years get a lot tougher if people get hammered for attempting to provide some sunshine.
Overall I like the fact that the Flames have a lot of horses in the prospect race now. Gone are the days where you'd go to a development camp and only focus on Eric Nystrom. Will they all turn out? Of course not, but it's good to add some quantity to quality.
