Will be watching to see how many players from that draft get pro contracts as there isn't one who has not punched above their draft position. As it stands, the Flames have Zary, Kuznetsov, Poirier, and Solovyov already signed and it looks like Francis and Kerins are both headed to contracts before June 1st. That would leave only Boltmann and Chechelev unsigned, but both of them having longer windows of opportunity to sign. That would be something to see, a whole draft class getting pro contracts from the Flames, but the potential is there.

I wonder what our perception of JB would be if he had played these last 2 seasons in junior instead of college? Surely if he can muster 13 pts in 30 NCAA games in his D+2 year playing against men, then could he have perhaps put up nearly a point-per-game in the CHL? Most fans would be a lot more excited about him.
