One or two injuries usually happen up front so we should see a handful of young guys start the season up front.

Not that I disagree with Granlund not being converted to a winger in the NHL, but I believe he is a natural center that was converted to wing for his first year in the FEL to play with his brother, and then returned to his natural position this past year. I do think he will end up being a winger in the NHL though.
My picks:
Glencross - Backlund - Cammy
Baertschi - Stajan - Hudler
Galiardi - Granlund - Stempniak
Ferland - Bouma - Jones
Jackman - McGrattan
Wideman - Brodie
Giordano - Butler
Cundari - Breen
O'Brien
Ramo
MacDonald
Flames definitely have some extras that need to be traded this season.
