Why do we always need a blue chip prospect? If anything, we've had our top guys become mainstays and the core of our team already (Monahan, Tkachuk and to a degree Bennett) with a pleasant surprise here (Gaudreau, hopefully Ferland).
What the Flames need is for the prospects in our system now and in the future start to compete for and take full time NHL jobs. Jankowski, Andersson and Kylington are a couple that come to mind as ideal candidates but hopefully the likes of one of Klimchuk/Poirier improving their situation.
We don't NEED more stars on this team. We need to develop more NHL players.
