What I noticed over the last little while is how many prospects seem to have strong leadership traits. Sieloff, Ramage, Monahan, Gaudreau, Jankowski, Arnold, Baertschi, Kulak, Kanzig, and apparently now even Ferland as per some of the comments about him on the ice Guys who have been leaders and/or who show a lot of character and leadership.
I am guessing (and pure speculation on my part) that this is one of the reasons the Flames decided to pass on Shinkaruk. Flames have made it no secret about selecting guys with a lot of character and exemplifying what they think a 'Flame' should be (in addition to on-ice abilities).
Love the direction the Flames are headed now. Character is often what separates a Stanley Cup champion when contenders go head to head.
