Draft picks are fun, but I lean slightly towards the open roster spot. Kuznetsov. Grushnikov. Poirier. Jurmo. Brzustewicz. Solovyov. The Flames have a ton of young defenceman that I'd like to see get a shot at the NHL level.

Sooner or later, I want to see if these defenceman are the next Mark Cundari or the next Rasmus Andersson.
There will be injuries, and then opportunities for the young guys.
