There are a few guys who were shadows last year who could make a big difference if they play up to their potential consistantly:
Wideman
Jones
Glencross
Setoguchi
Hiller
Raymond is the other wildcard.

Good post i agree. To me, i see the potential starting lineup this fall as alot of 2-3 line guys, or depth guys. Dont get me wrong, these players are needed on any perenial playoff team. I just dont see the elite talent. If we can keep this core together along with some surprises from our prospects and sprinkle in some "elite" scoring talent a la JG, Bennett, poirier etc, and a couple stud D men then we will start turning the corner.
It will be good hard physical hockey this upcoming year. Alot of crashing and banging bruin style hockey that calgary hasnt seen in some time.
im happy with the offseason overall that we have had. Really, what "move" could have made the offseason better?
