While true, all I'm saying is that each organization has to operate and manage their strengths and weaknesses.

It not a positional depth issue.... it is the fact that Brodie and Hamilton are better hockey players and the Flames have a better chance for team success with them in the line-up than Voracek.
Very true, the Flames are not solid at RW. Fair enough, but I'd live with weak RW depth if it meant that my top 4-5 Dmen were somewhere between solid and World Class.

Build from the back.

Look at Philly right now, they've got offensive talent, they've even got a goalie posting some solid numbers, but they are wandering the desert in defence. It is terribad.

I like being able to look at our goaltending and defence and say: If everyone plays the way they can and we can retain them, thats set. Sure, Frolik is our #1 RW, but we can deal with that later.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
