Want a top-six forward who isn't overpaid? Then you have to draft and develop him yourself. How's the Flames prospect cupboard looking at RW?
I don't think the argument against Abedelkater filling that hole has anything to do with medication.

He isn't elite. He isn't cheap.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
