Our depth now is still much greater than it was for most of the past 20 years. You seem to have taken an ultra pessimistic stance or perhaps you're just not well informed about these prospects? I dunno.

I'm not pessimistic. The Flames have great young players, but they're already in the NHL. And I do like guys like Hickey. I just don't see them being blue chippers. They might work out and they might not.
I used to have rose-coloured glasses for guys like Baertschi, Poirier, Irving, etc. I've learned my lesson.
