Treliving has made mention of a need for RH shots. He also said that's down the list in building BPA but did recognize it as an organizational need.

In the defense department they're pretty set. FW is really weak, almost non existent.

So I for one would think that a RH shooting FW crawls up the BPA list for the Flames.
What do the Flames have in the system? Arnold, Harrison, Jooris, Shore, Smith, Hamilton, Hathaway and Caroll. Tell me how this shouldn't be a priority for the team.

Thats one full time NHL'er and 3 tweeners and 3 question marks. And that one full timer kind of flat lined this year (Jooris). I'd bet the McLeod slots right in on the Flames list right behind Laine, Puljujarvi and Nylander.

EDIT: did run through the other 29 teams to check out their RH FW depth. Flames and Detroit are the worst in the league from top to bottom.Flames are absolute worst when it comes to Full time NHL players. And run a big fat 0 in the top 6 FW department. 0!

When it comes down to it. A lot of folks believe RH shots are essential to building a team. Some don't . That's cool. But the All time leading scorers for the Flames were both RH shots. Big time void on the organization. Gotta draft some RH shots in the first round.
