[Cali Panthers Fan]

Hey backburner folks, I have to be honest, I haven't spent any time following the Wranglers closely this year, but I do see they've had a great season mostly on the back of Wolf.

However, I wanted to know how close some of these guys are to NHL action, or if they ever project to the NHL. I'm especially curious about the defense, because I can see the Flames whittling down their core to 3 guys in the near future, which gives opportunities to these young d-men.

From just the stats, I can tell that Phillips, Zary, Jones, Petterson, Poirier, and DeSimone all had good seasons, with an honorable mention to Schwindt. But I want to know more than just stats. Who looks capable of stepping into the NHL and why?

Interested to hear any and all takes. I'm an open book. Inform me!
