I’m not at all up to speed on their prospect pool but man the bright lights of New York. There’s nothing like it.
And as I’ve always said my absolute dream final would be Flames v NYR. Can you imagine walking through the streets of Midtown during the finals sporting your Flames jersey?

Think of it this way. Imagine you grew up a huge fan of a team. All throughout your childhood while crafting your game you picture bringing the SC back to that team and as you enter your pro career that team has still not managed to win. They have not won in over 55 years. That team just also happens to be the biggest market in that sport. After giving 11 years to a franchise you were never thrilled to be with in the first place you now have a chance to chase your dream? What do you do? The only fly in the ointment is you were hoping to win one championship with a teammate who became a best friend. After coming close twice you can still take one more kick at the can there but after that the outlook for your current team is bleak as they have enptied the cupboards to try and win how. What do you do?
