Then you lure Ryan and Czarnik here with a similar message about lacking RH shots and having lots of space open on the Right Wing and at Center. But now you've acquired 3 RH RW/C options at that point.
Then you go out and sign Neal who is a RW that locks up 1st line RW and slots everyone down a line.
If you are Czarnik or even Ryan do you feel like you got over sold on your opportunity - a lot has changed on this roster and instead of it being wide open like 10 days ago when he first chatted with the Flames now it looks really deep and tough to crack. Especially the PP units.

Our RW depth now:
Neal
Lindholm (C/RW)
Frolik
Ryan (C/RW)
Brouwer
Czarnik (C/RW)
Lazar (C/RW)
Foo
and 6 of them actually shoot right! And they have mentioned an interest in trying Tkachuk on the right side as well, though I would have to imagine that's dead now, with the signing of Neal.
After the top 2, the right side is now significantly stronger than the left.
