Really seems like a bit of a mystery package with Czarnik. Should be fun seeing him get a chance, whether its 2nd PP time, or maybe a 3rd line try out, and how he does with the opportunity.

I would add that in Peters' tenure in Carolina, prospects that were called up would get a shot in the top 6. I expect that right side to be fairly fluid this season. Flames really thought highly of this kid, and I bet he sees some time next to Gaudreau and Monahan. Neal, Lindholm and Czarnik I think are the guys that move around the line up the most this season. What will be interesting is to see if Frolik or Tkachuk (or someone else) will be forming a pair with Backlund. I would assume the other two pairs in the top 9 are set.
