Need to get that D sorted out. But lots to be encouraged about.

I realize they had 3 1st round picks last year, but I just can't get my head around how fast this team went from ground floor rebuild to stocked up and making noise.
The emergence of Granlund and Reinhart last year caught the attention of a lot of media. By the time the season came to a close and the Flames were lighting the Oilers up in Edmonton the HNIC crew actually started talking about Flame prospect depth.
Now you add Bennett to it?
Gaudrea explodes, Poirier goes from "who?" to wow!, Granlund and Reinhart have huge AHL seasons, Monahan has an amazing first NHL season when many of us didn't expect him to make the team ... meanwhile a guy like Klimchuk is ignored and fans right of Sven Baertschi????
Head spinning.
