Players under 25 that I can think off the top of my head that I think are at least decent prospects:
Monahan, Bennett, Gaudreau, Baertschi, Poirier, Klimchuk, Granlund, Reihhart, Arnold, Agostino, Hanowski, Wolf, Van Brabant, Knight, Bouma, Colborne, Byron, Ferland, Jankowski, Smith
Brodie, Wotherspoon, Sieloff, Kulak, Culkin, Kanzig, Rafikov, Roy, Billins, Breen, Ramage, Cundari, Hickey
Ortio, Gillies, McDonald
That was 36 names off the top of my head. Is adding another Rafikov-level prospect really that key to the rebuild?
Spending a late 3rd on a guy who is a decent NHLer who hits everything in sight, is good in the room, will help protect all these young kids, and helps in the continued establishment of making the Flames a tough team to play against seems like a good investment to me.
