Looking at the proposed lineups on here the big question is we have zero 1st line talent. Alot of the guys would be good 3rd maybe 2nd line depth guys on a contending team. Which is good we have those guys, but we need to acquire some elite talent somehow. Im not patient enough to draft and develop our own lol its tough
hmm, so you aren't confident in at least one of the following developing into a top line player in the next 2-3 years?
- Monahan
- Bennet
- Gaudreau
- Baertchi
- Poirier
- Klimchuk
- 2015 1st round pick

As an organization, i think the flames are happy with their "balls in the pot" prospects that may turn out to be first line players.
