Well I guess drafting Jankowski last year speaks volume about your scouting staff.

Oh & the 7yrs before that. Is that why you can't seem to make the playoffs - because of your stellar drafting??

Keep denying how brutal your scouting staff is & the rest of us will keep laughing when you continue to turn out nobody!!

Wow Newmy, it looks like your angry side came out again.

You're arguing on the side of popular opinion. Truth is, Feaster himself said Jankowski was a project. To judge that kid and the scouting staff at this stage is pointless and in a way, arogant either way you argue it. Give it a couple of years.

Who's the last player Montreal "turned out"? Galchenyuk was a given but other than that? give me a break buddy and take that goalie stick out of your @ss.

seiloff,baertschi, gillies, guadreau, brossoit show that the drafting has improved. Some nice picks deeper in the draft.

I do believe that the flames were one of the teams with the most jr's in the worlds last year. Thats a pretty good sign.

I think wotherspoon is going to be a gio 2.0 as well.

The scouting argument began to run thin last year, you might as well just add the flames are old to your comments now.

Screw the rebuild. The Flames are bringing in Seguin and Lecavalier for next season.

Oh I don't know, Subban(Norris winner), Galchenyuk, Gallagher, Price, Emelin, Max Pac - yeah I guess they don't turn out any -- maybe you should take that goalie stick & shove up your candy ass for making such a stupid comment.

What the hell have the Flames done lately - what Sven(unproven), Gaudreau(unproven), Backlund(hasn't done squat), Irving(1st round bust) - should I go on??

I think you should think before spewing garbage about the Habs when in fact the Flames have done squat poop over the last 7yrs.

Oh wait, maybe Pelech & Krahn might return to put them back in a playoff position but most of all, I bet Kris Chucko puts you over the top along with Kobasew.

Yep, looking like the Flames have a lot of draft picks absolutely wasted which is why the cupboard is thin now.

But go ahead & disagree, it just makes you look even dumber(just like Feaster, King, Edwards, Weibrod & Button)

Who's angry, maybe you should say the same about your die-hard Flame bloggers - i'm just responding to the Flame blogger telling me Montreal hasn't put anyone of significance into the NHL & someone to build around - I disagree!!

GFYS!!!you know poop. Jankowski is 18 years old 6'3" & 193 lbs. Picking goalies early is a huge hit/miss, to say we don't have any decent goalies in our system just shows your ignorance. (frank) off.

Calgary started drafting better 2 years ago. Montreal does draft fairly well.. but I don't know about your first round pick this year. Thats a really big dum dum you drafted. His interview was like talking to a 12 year old. Time will tell with him as well I suppose.

where are they at with backland and brodie?

I think the only other names in rfa they'd keep might be cundari. maybe....butler if nothings out there.

Otherwise I think they are just filling abbortsford with the rest. Bouma and Breen maybe would take a peak at a few games.

But might as well let neminsz go, he reduced to nothing last year

You don't have any pro goalies that are going to win you squat. Secondly, you don't have any goalies not in the NHL that are better than Fucale so why don't you (frank) Off.

you can win a cup without a star goalie. detroit did it for years, chicago did it twice.

Brossoit and Gililes are doing pretty well.

There's other areas that they need to focus on developing first before net
