I took a look at our prospect pool last night.
I think the Flames need to draft and develop better. No one gets to the promised land chasing free agents to fill all of your gaps. You need lower salary quality players to offset the free agent tabs.
You get that through the draft. The Flames prospect list is frighteningly weak. I don’t really see anyone on that list (basing this on the last few game auditions from last season) who would have any impact or likely even make the lineup.
Mackey could probably be a bottom pairing defensman. Pelletier and Zary are probably a few years out. Wolf same comment. Otherwise yeeesh.
