With Agostino, Shore, Elson, and others gone from the Heat... these demotions take on a little bit of a different dimension than if guys were just going to learn the pro game. I would think that Jankowski, Poirier, and Klimchuk are going down to the Heat to all be top 6 forwards. Poirier was already there after a very strong rookie season, but I think we'll see a full season of Jankowski and Klimchuk playing important roles and getting a great chance to show what they are made of.
Frattin will provide veteran scoring, but other than him it seems like the Flames homegrown talent will be expected to carry the team as leaders. Pretty exciting!
