With contracts expiring next year, I think 2014 will see a bunch of rookies make the team... Cammalleri, stajan, and stempniak's spots could be open for guys like gaudreau, granlund, hanowski, ferland, knight, and Monahan (if he's not already on the team). The flames brass would be able to look at next year as the year where lots of rookies could make the team because, worse case scenario, you end up picking first overall in 2015 and you get to pick up the next Sydney Crosby.
