Rafikov is looking legit. Between him and Hickey I think they're going to make a lot of fans rethink the idea the Flames don't have anything coming on the blue line.

Why does his age prevent you from getting excited?
Carroll is scoring without much help, while providing leadership and tonnes of grit. I get that lots of overagers do that, but he's got two things almost none the other ones do: speed, size. There's no detracting factor here IMO.
That isn't to say he's going to be a top two line guy, but he's destined to be a great role player IMO.
