Started looking at potential college free agents. Preliminary list follows.

The C and LWs will probably have little interest signing with the Flames given the organizational depth the Flames have at those positions and the likelyhood they would actually get a chance at the NHL is low.

The Flames may look at signing a college goalie if for some reason Gillies goes back to college next season, just to keep the pipeline full.

LW Greg Carey 5'11'' 195lbs (Senior) 23yo
Stats: http://www.uscho.com/stats/player/mid,18785/greg-carey/
Gaudreau's main competition for the Hobey Baker. 2nd in college hockey scoring

C Austin Czarnik 5'9'' 150lbs (Junior) 20yo
Stats: http://www.uscho.com/stats/player/mi...ustin-czarnik/
Currently tied 3rd in college hockey scoring. Similar size to Gaudreau

C Ryan Walters 6'0'' 188lbs (Senior) 22yo
Stats: http://www.uscho.com/stats/player/mi.../ryan-walters/
Considered one of the better College free agents last year. Lustre has worn off a little bit.

C Mark Zengerle 5'11'' 185lbs (Senior) 24yo
Stats: http://www.uscho.com/stats/player/mi...mark-zengerle/
Up and down offensive statistics. Probably a good fit for a team that needs C depth on the farm.

D Trevor van Riemsdyk 6'2'' 185lbs (Junior) 22yo
Stats: http://www.uscho.com/stats/player/mi...-van-riemsdyk/
Brother of JVR. Offensive minded d man. Currently tied to lead UNH in points amongst skaters.

G Ryan McKay 6'1'' 224lbs (Sophomore) 21yo
Stats: http://www.uscho.com/stats/player/mid,21314/ryan-mckay/
Amazing rookie stats. 2nd year stats looking pretty good too.

RW Ryan Haggerty 6'0'' 183lbs (Junior) 20yo
Stats: http://www.uscho.com/stats/player/mi...ryan-haggerty/
Offensive explosion this season. Has the pedigree of being part of the USNDT. Leads college in goals scored. Bonus: right handed shot Right Winger.

LW/C Ross Mauerman 5'9'' 170lbs (Junior) 23yo
Stats:http://www.uscho.com/stats/player/mi...oss-mauermann/
Leading scorer for Providence.

D Ahti Oksanen 6'3'' 207lbs (Sophomore) 20yo
Stats:http://www.uscho.com/stats/player/mi.../ahti-oksanen/
Another offensively gifted d-man, but also solid in his own zone. Plays BU's top pairing.

At this point I am hoping the Flames will be interested in Haggerty and Oksanen. van Riemsdyk intrigues me as well.
