I think a lot of the key pieces may be in place for the Flames to be a good team, but there's still a lot of assuming and hoping going on at this state about those pieces. If all works out as planned and guys like Bennett, Tkachuk, Hamilton and Gillies truly achieve their potential, and Gaudreau, Monahan and Brodie can keep on excelling....we have ourselves a solid team. But when does a plan ever work out perfectly?

I do think this was the last draft in a while (barring lottery luck) where we pick in that Top 6 range. We'll be in a playoff chase, and chances are we'll miss, but I don't see this team battling it out in the gutter for half the year.

I still would love to see a pure sniper on this team, but I'm not as worried bout it as I was a year ago (and I think those guys can be traded for).

A guy like Jankowski or Poirer surprising would sure go along way.
