Look, I think these players are going to be good, but if you think you can project who will be on this roster strictly based on where we are now and every prospect making the jump, you're wrong.
Let's not scratch all our lottery tickets just yet. They need development time and the NHL is not the place for that

I'm predicting 3 kids to be impact Flames, not the other 10 that could be.
No klimchuk, no Sven , no Arnold, etc.
Addition of the 3 kids I mentioned, plus 1 d perhaps Spoon, that's hardly optimistic. Forward ranks will be crowded. Somebody will have to go.
Raymond is not a top 6 forward. He is soft, one dimensional, not a great scorer or passer, not great defensively either.
poirier has winner written all over him, 1 year of Ahl and he will be knocking, he is a little older too.
