I certainly don't men to disparage Horak in any way, and I agree the guy has exceeded expectations to date and is over looked.
It's tough to pick one, even at the 9th spot because I still have a good 14 guys on the list that I find intriguing. That's what makes the Flames prospect list so different than in previous years.
I'm with whoever mentioned Reinhart the other day. I was pumped about a guy like that exceeding his 3rd round pedigree and looking so polished in camp. He didn't disappoint with the big club and I expect he'll be a mainstay at some point.
But he's just not in my radar yet in this process which is shocking when you think we are 9 deep.
Hopefully the kool aid isn't affecting us, and the Flames have a great system and a huge jump on the rebuild, like many of us are thinking.
Personally I'm just happy they have the Dome on schedule so we have preseason games this year. Season ticket holders complain about them, but man will that be fun to see who's in the lineup each night and fighting to make the team.
