If they don't you almost have to ride it out and let them develop.

I remember when the team had Kylington, Andersson and Fox all on the prospect list at the same time.

In the end I guess all three made it, but I didn't have Fox as #1 for sure.
Making a call like that right now would be a butt clencher for sure. But, if you wait, you could end up with 3 mediocre players which give you a minimal return. Wheeler does have me thinking that the Flames should use this position of strength to help balance out the weakness at center if the right situation arises.
