I came away from watching both games last night with one strong impression: I really like a lot of the Flames’s prospects. I tried to keep my eyes on Pelletier in the Calgary game (which was admittedly difficult to do with the poor quality of the stream), and he struck me as such a smart player. He seemed to always be well positioned and made things happen whenever he was on the ice. In Victoria, Dube and Phillips were fantastic. They look like impact NHL players. I thought Zagidulin had a really strong showing, and Parsons did a solid job coming into the game cold. I also really liked Zavgorodniy, whom I thought made some sneaky good plays.
I am just as excited about the Flames long term future as I am the new season. It’s going to be a dogfight for the bottom-six roster spots, and I think a couple of prospects could pop this year.
