I could see in 2 years Backlund pricing himself out of the Flames future plans and Jankowski getting a good opportunity to fill that spot.
I think both Porier and Shinkaruk will push for spots next year. While I voted for Hunter I could see either having success rather soon. Shinkaruk seems to have the skill to play in the top 6. Porier also could play top 6 but could also settle on the 3rd line so I give him the edge to make the team sooner
Klimchuck needs a bounce back year and establish himself in the Stockton top 6 next year but still seems 2-3 years away
