It's pretty much the consensus among any scouts you talk to. Gilles has had more exposure and is probably closer but people are really high on the other two.

Macdonald had a rather disappointing year including a very lacklustre performance at the world juniors. They still have a chance, but there is a reason why Gillies is so highly thought of, he has dominated at every level and who knows he could have found his way on to the Flames last year were it not for his injury.

It's pretty much impossible to prove a conversation with a scout and, surprisingly, there's very little on the internet ranking team's prospects after they've been drafted.

I don't think hockeysfutures is always that reliable, but they're one of the only places that does rankings and they have all three goalies ranked pretty much the same.

Are you as pissed as I am that the Flames missed out on signing ysndle to such a sweet contract? BT totally dropped the ball on that one.

They got sad after Campbells albatross left the building, so this is the next best thing.

Hope you're being facetious. We could not afford him for 1. Signing him to that contract, with a NMC by the way, would have forced Brodie or Hamilton to being exposed for expansion. And people get upset about the Gio contract. Handle will be 36-37 when that deal is over.

No, no I'm not pissed, if you're being serious.

That's correct... but we all know there are at least 2 coming in this season (1 of which might be Ortio).

Pretty sure Hunk would back me up in saying that Yandle is an improvement over anything Flames currently have on D. Why do you think I am being facetious?
