I think that there are a few prospects who are fully capable of becoming this year's "Josh Jooris" - but this year it is an even tougher task.
Last year the Flames were riddled with injuries to start the season. Stajan, Backlund, then Colborne I think, as well as some others. They have also added Frolik this year.
I think Josh Jooris of last year would not make this team this year (and that is no slight against Jooris - I really like him and see him as an NHL'er now). The bar is just higher now, and that's not a bad thing at all.
