On the FAN they said 4 guys - Bennett, Gaudreau, Jooris, Baertchi - were all fighting for a spot on the opening day roster. Of course 3 of the 4 were our best players last night and have made it incredibly hard on the coaching to make those final cuts.

I'm okay with starting most, or maybe even all, on the farm though. The going will get a bit tougher when teams start icing their regular season lineups. These 4 would undoubtedly be amongst the first call ups in the event of an injury though and might even stick around for good after, ala TJ Brodie. Hartleys shown he's not afraid to bench a vet either.

Whatever happens I'm sure we end the year with a few of these guys on our roster for good. Exciting time to be a Flames fan.
