You think they could both be gone in less than two years. Maybe, but I doubt it. At least not both of them.
I also think Gillies will turn pro after this season. That too would crowd out Brossoit.
Again, good prospect. But as far as the organizational rank goes, we can replace him simply by drafting another goalie.

It's times like these that I just love the fact we do prospect rankings. So easy to discredit two players traded to the Oilers, but when you can look back to July and August and see they were ranked 11th and 17th on the prospect list it isn't a stretch to say the Flames dealt two second tier prospects for a top four dman.
I've been away all weekend so I'm sure this has been said ... but I can't for the life of me understand this from an Oilers perspective. They must really really like one of the two Calgary players because their D is thin and Smid was one of the only sure thing defenders they had.
Tanking?
But on the same day they go out and add to goaltending?
So strange.
