The Flames are loading up on so many prospects that at some point they will struggle to find them proper ice time and development time once they turn pro. It's going to be a log jam.
Something clearly off with Battaglia, doesn't seem like a guy at this point who is going to force his way onto the upper half of the Wranglers roster over the next couple of seasons. Might have jumped the gun a little signing him as quickly as they did.
Smart move to trade him for an older prospect who needs a change of scenery and they can find out if he has anything to contribute now, before the log jam starts.
