These are the critical ones for me. Based on Burke's comments today, I think he's pleased with Ramo and that alleviates my concern about picking up Reimer.
Keeping the positive vibes in the locker room and leadership for the young guys is key. Taking a flyer on a Russian with prima donna attitude or a skilled guy looking to get paid that won't buy in.
Flames have been drafting well and showing plenty of patience the past season and a half. Trying to take a short cut or sacrificing any future potential for present solutions would be awful.
