I think the Flames are in good shape on the blueline. I see guys like Wotherspoon and Sieloff as guys that won't miss. I think they fit somewhere in the 3-6 positions, so a good chance they find a position in the next two or three years as attrition happens. I see Ramage as one of those guys that plays on the bottom pair but is a penalty killing specialist or a guy that plays with the game on the line. He has the type of player that wears a letter. Those three are the guys I fully expect to be added to Giordano and Brodie in the next two years. I think the Flames will have opportunity to grab Ekblad in the next draft and fill that hole on the top pair next to Brodie. There will be some surprises alon g the way, I'm sure, but those will just add to the depth building on the blueline.
