Things we already knew:

Pat Steinberg‏@Fan960Steinberg3m
Finally, #Flames officially announce what we've known for a while: Craig Conroy will now oversee day-to-day operations in Abby.

The #Flames have named Robbie Ftorek assistant coach of the #AHLHeat & Todd Woodcroft as scouting director ~ http://cflam.es/13NxT6A

Edit: NM. Wrong coach

I wonder if this means Troy Ward's day are numbered?
Anyway I'm excited to see the new players with the Heat this year; Wotherspoon, Ramage, Granlund, Hanowski, Jooris, Billins, Ferland, Elson, Berra, Brossoit, Ortio

do we expect them add some AHL vets to the roster as well?

btw Isn't it time to start a 2013/14 thread?

Conroy's interview suggests they aren't looking to sign a ton of vets. They want their prospects in the key roles.

Some of our prospects are arguably vets anyways. Guys like Cundari, Breen, Byron, Nemisz, Street are veteran minor leaguers who may end up back in Abby. Bancks even?

About time the farm team worked like this. Although arguably we haven't had the depth to ice only prospects on our farm team in a long, long time.
