Right on! Hope you enjoyed them...its rather slow at this time of the year so really need to find something to interest people!

Good job Colin. Nice read.

Cory Sarich 2.0 but with a bit more speed?

NVM

Nice read. Great way to start off the week. So you think in 2014/2015 he will be pushing for a roster spot based on Calgary's lack of depth and D or because he is actually that good?

Depending on how things go THIS year, he could very well play more games than expected with the Flames in my opinion. But I could see him challenging for a full time spot next year regardless...hes developing quite nicely.

Does his first year of OHL remind you of anyone?

2012-13 Windsor Spitfires OHL 45 3 8 11 85

Phaneuf
2001-02 Red Deer Rebels WHL 67 5 12 17 170

Good job Colin. Nice read.

Yeah I cant stand the haters on Feaster on the Janko pick & ignore & even dismiss the fact we got Seiloff in the deal. Still, if we would have gone with Tervannian & still had Seiloff, that might of shut a large number of haters up. But it's done & I for one am willing to let this kid develop & see what we have in 2 years. If Janko has a meh year this year, you will see some fur fights between Flames fans.

Hey Colin I wasn't trying to insult Sieloff by comparing him to Sarich I actually want to know who he compares to best ha. I know comparing prospects to players is kinda pointless but I haven't seen him play a whole lot.

There is no way that could have happened. If Flames would have taken Ter, and Seiloff fell to the 3rd round for them to take, then they wouldn't have gotten Gillis, who might be our best prospect.

Great read Colin, I've been saying this to people for while so it's nice to see someone has taken the time to write it down

Of the Flames? Not really anyone who comes to mind to be honest...but he may bring a game that was similar to Phaneufs in his early days, perhaps not so much with respect to high point totals though.

More like Phaneuf with a little less size.

Agreed but also maybe like a young Regher with good knees.

How funny would it be if Feaster get canned and they blame it on drafting and then MJ turns out to be a superstar. Son of female dog that man knew what he was talking about.

I could almost see a Burke type scenario happen tbh...the team the Leafs were last year was because of Burke..and he didnt get to enjoy a second of it!!

Exactly. Although I don't know if he would have demoted Komi and Connolly.

I don't see the Leafs making the PO this year. I think last year was a season shortened anomaly. CAR will get back in there.

I honestly think the acquisition of Bernier/Bolland will pay dividends...the Clarkson signing will be nice, but for me those two guys is what makes the different for that team. Never cared for Reimer personally.

I have to say I hate the Leafs but seeing them in the playoffs and to see there fans was awesome. Reminded me of 04.
