Boom Johnson - played well on a young Sabres team that had a Flames-like awful even strength goal differential.

Bust Elliott - He is supposed to be ultra competitive. It will be interesting how he adapts gong from a veteran Hitchcock coached team focused on team defense to a team that will be learning team defense. I am afraid he will have trouble adjusting to the team in front of him.

Almost certainly he will be considered a bust as the expectations set for him are unbelievably off the charts high.

The Flames are not going to have 3 D-men with over 40 pts and 3 in the top 22 scoring d-men.

The boom level for Hamilton should be 30 pts and plus 10.... Turning his +/- around by 25 really turns the Flames back into a playoff contender.
