Future looks bright to me. Flames have most of the pieces long term that they need to be a contender. We just need the core to continue to learn, develop and mature. It requires patience which isn't in long supply amongst sports fans.

Yes. I don't think those players are shaping up to be "Stars" in the league.
Monahan has the highest chance to be as he's already shown he can be an impact player but he hasn't made me believe he can be a star. Gaudreau is a star, Brodie is a star, Tkachuk is showing me star like qualities (shiny new toy perhaps).
Hamilton has not been a good defenseman with the Flames and simply put up a lot of points. Bennett hasn't shown any improvement yet, not writing him off by any means but he doesn't look like he's "figuring it out". He's still trying all of those Junior moves that rarely worked last year
. Still lots of time to figure it out but
penciling him in as a "star"? Nope, not even close.
