It’s no secret the Calgary Flames have enviable organizational depth on the blueline. With the addition of guys like Travis Hamonic and Juuso Valimaki this summer (as well as the emergence of Adam Fox), the Flames may end up with more defenders than they know what to do with in a couple of years.
The same can’t be said for the club’s depth at right wing, however. After Michael Frolik, things drop off precipitously, with little hope of help from the organization’s farm or minor league systems.
So what should the Flames do? Continue to hoard their defensive talent and hope they can plug holes in the forward roster as needed?
