This will never happen IMO. Yeah it'd be nice, but 4 of those 12 forwards haven't played an NHL game yet, and 2 of them have played 10 or less NHL games.
The odds of any organization developing that many forwards are long, and the odds are probably even longer for the Flames to do it given their weak history of developing NHL forwards via the AHL.
As for the poll, I voted 2 acquisitions. Hopefully one of them is a center good enough to push Backlund down one peg to #3C
