Wolf was good. Klapka is going to be an NHL'er. Coronato looked good. Gridin is going to light up the Q - I thought that the way he was playing thus far, that the organization was just going to send him to the AHL right away.
That's why I think the rebuild can't last too long. I think the Flames have too much talent in the organization right now. They are missing a couple of "franchise forwards" that hopefully they pick up in the next two drafts, but these kids are going to push in this league and simply won't allow the Flames to be terrible. There's just too much quality I think, and the Flames would have to really try to tank in order to stay bad for 5 years. These kids will all experience their growing pains too, but this is a deep and talented prospect pool already, only missing a couple of franchise players (specifically at least 1 centre).

We’ve had one of the better AHL teams for the last few years for a reason
