Now that the season is over; we can sit back and ask ourselves what is next. What are the Flames priorities? Obviously, the Flames have a wish list. Guess what? I have one too. Since this is my party, my list is more important.
So here is my list in no particular order, of what I would do if I were the General Manager. Watch out Brad; I am gunning for your job.
NUMBER ONE GOALIE
Antti Raanta
The Rangers backup is a steady goalie who ready for more responsibility. Antti is a steady goaltender who plays the angles and will give the Flames a chance to win every game.
I love Antti. He is consistent. He is who he is. You know what you are getting—a starting, capable goalie.
TOP SIX RIGHT WINGER
Patrick Eaves
Patrick is a sniper who would fit in perfectly with Johnny and Sean. Eaves is a smooth skater who thinks with his head. He would be a perfect stop-gap. Flames could probably, sign him for a 2-year window, long enough for prospects to come in. The native Calgarian should be brought home.
NUMBER FOUR DEFENCEMAN
Kyle Alzner
Kyle is the best option for the Flames. He is a steady, dependable stay home dman. Kyle would cut down on the defensive mistakes. He would bring a stable veteran influence in the dressing room. He leads by example. He would a great help to the top three in the lineup.
These players would not fill all the holes, but they would go a long way to making the Flames a better hockey team next season.
