In order?
1. Gaudreau (Oozes supestar potential, ridiculous talent and an overpowering will to defy the critics)
2. Sven (has a surefire shot at being an impact player like Hossa)
3. Janko (Has the size now, just has to tie it all together with that scarey good talent)
4. Gillies (big kid and has been solid on an average team)
5. Seiloff (what team doesnt want a hard hitter on their team. Hoping for sarich with more offensive punch)
I don't think I can classify Cervenka as a prospect as he has played professional Hockey longer than three years. the KHL is second only to the NHL and he has proven he can compete at this level. My guess is he is a really good #2 center. Not first line but certainly a great secondary points producer.
Brodie is as of right now a top four D in my mind. His main issues were consistency and I feel once he got more comfortable through out the course of the season he eliminated that issue.
Horak is an NHL'er and he proved it last year. He just needs a little more muscle and he is golden. Agree with his third line potential but with a little more seasoning I can see him as a solid second liner as well.
My real darkhorse is baby Granlund. He needs size, once he gets that size everything else will translate to being a top six player. Thats my guess and he can really take over as the player who will have the most impact on the Flames in the Future.
