How is the Hitmen future looking for those who follow WHL closely? thanks.

None of the D picked up are eye poppers really. Just big and solid Dmen. Schmeimann and Krebs are both '99s and should be solid 19 year olds next year. Zamula is probably the best of the bunch and as a '00 born has a couple seasons left.
Couple of the forwards they added are nice though:
Focht - former 7th overall in bantam draft (2015), '00 born and already producing at the WHL level and 100+ WHL games already
Stotts - former 10th overall in bantam draft (2015), '00 born and since coming over to CGY from Swift has scored 15 points in 16 games
The forward prospect Prokop is supposedly committed to the NCAA and isn't really high profile anyways, as he's '00 born and still yet to suit up in the WHL. Maybe he will stay and end up with the Hitmen though, there must be a reason they traded for him.
The goalie prospect Hein is solid. 3rd rounder last year and a '02 born. 6'2 already at just 15. Could be a good one but goalies are goalies...
Sanders is a '98 goalie and Chaulk is a '97 forward, so nothing really to see there.
