For the Flames I think the only guy who we'd write off is Pelletier. If he has a mediocre year but at least stays healthy for the year I think that'd be a success, but if he can't play at least 50+ games in the NHL this year, I think that's it for him as a Flame. I don't think most of us expect a huge offensive output, but if he can produce like Zary did last year then at least there's some progress.
From what I have seen from Dobes he really took the next step this year. Him and Fowler could be a 1A 1B in the future for the HabsCzechs entering 'back to Europe' territory as they seem to be peaking at the AHL level

All need to at least get a 'cup of coffee' in the NHL this year as they are running out of time. Some are already back in Europe. You'd think something would stick. Dobes is on track. Svozil is getting a bit concerning but I still think he eventually makes it.
Klapka and Poirier are still waivers exempt so I'm not ready to pull the plug on them. Klapka has also played very well in the preseason.Klapka and Poirier as well. Gotta make the team at some point. They should both get enough games to see.
