Love watching this team this season. I said in the offseason that I couldn't see this team bottoming out. With that said I'm concerned with what we're going to do for centre depth moving forward. Backlund and Kadri are old and due for regression, and Kadri has a few years left on payroll, with no prospects really set to fill those spots. Flames might have two firsts this year but it's going to be hard to find impactful centre depth in the second half of the first round, we need our scouts to be on point. Last year provides some hope that our scouts and Conroy have a good eye for talent but even if Wolf proves elite and Parekh as well, we're going to need that elite first line talent at some point. I feel the mistake thats set to be made is not finding that centre through the draft and in two years time our only option is through free agency.
