44 goals in 55 games so far for Barlow! What a monster draft this is shaping up to be, I guess my preference for a Center is influencing my preference for Yager but I think the only way I'd be disappointed from this draft is if we choose a defenseman in the 1st round. There's just so much C, LW, RW talent this year it's crazy. Also, Barlow is an extra 30lbs heavier right now than Yager, which could potentially help him join the Flames earlier. (Barlow is 6'1 194lb, Yager is 6'0 165lbs).
Pelletier, Coronato, Zary, Poirier, Wolf, and this years 1st.. Things maybe aren't quite as bleak in the prospects cupboard as some of the "analysts" would have us believe. Pelletier has already been a pleasant surprise for me, and I'm expecting Coronato to be even more of an offensive weapon. Feels like the Flames would follow the path they set in 2015 and load up on D in the 2nd round+, I hope so anyway!
