With the conversation going on in the Flames community, I figured we should do the same.
This isn't a prediction of the starting lineup, just a prediction of who of our handful of prospects that will be knocking on the door this fall will make the team out of camp. And by make the team, I don't mean just 9 games. Who graduates this year?
Looking at the lineup, barring any moves between now and camp there appears to be one spot open on the forward ranks without displacing any veteran players. Provided there are injuries and/or a vet under performs, chances are that a second spot could become available for a young player going into the season.
On the defence ranks, things are pretty well stacked as well, meaning the top 6 are occupied with vets, but the team will move into the season carrying an extra skater at least.
So, given the hypothetical situation where you have 2 forward prospects and 1 defence prospect that can make the team, who are your choices?
pick 2:
Gaudreau
Wolf
Baertschi
Granlund
Bennett
Poirier
Reinhart
Ferland
Knight
Arnold
pick 1:
Wotherspoon
Sieloff
Cundari
Kulak
Ramage
Kanzig
