Question 6: If not Jankowski, which prospect do you think will most likely come out of training camp on the Flames roster?

Jonathan Boulanger

Now we’re splitting hairs. I was hoping to see more from Foo, but unfortunately, I don’t think he’s going to make the team. My choice would be either Hunter Shinkaruk or Tyler Wotherspoon. Dillon Dube also looks impressive but I’m not sure if he’s ready for the NHL.

Ian Gustafson

Tanner Glass has certainly shown he still has some gas left in the tank. He has had a jump in his step every game he has played. He has come out and played a physical style that could serve the team well playing against big teams such as the Anaheim Ducks. Only time will tell if he can keep up that physical play 82+ games.

Tom Oppolzer

Spencer Foo. He had an excellent showing at the rookie tournament on the top line with Andrew Mangiapane and the aforementioned Jankowski. He’s been not too bad in the pre-season and Calgary has a couple open spots. If he earns it, I’d love to see Spencer Foo on a line with Bennett in the regular season.

Benjamin Prokopy

Rasmus Andersson. He is among four players as of this writing to have played three games, suggesting he is getting a long look. He has led the team in blocked shots thus far (he has 6). And he has an even plus/minus, which is quite something given the lopsided losses he has been a part of. Of the guys fighting for that last defence pair, he’s making the best case.

Dan Raicevich

Rasmus Andersson or Brett Kulak will likely make the team on the back end. The Calgary Flames might have the most depth on the defensive side of the puck in the entire league. It could benefit them in order to help land a scoring winger at the deadline or during the season

Ramina Shlah

I agree with Ben and Dan, Ramsus Andersson has definitely impressed during preseason and training camp and he’s been one of the best defencemen. I think he’ll end up being the sixth or seventh defenceman for the Calgary Flames. But for a forward, if not Jankowski, potentially Spencer Foo. He hasn’t impressed as much as I hoped he would, but he also hasn’t disappointed. I was expecting more out of him than Jankowski, but so far, Janko has impressed me more. But if not Jankowski, then hopefully we see Foo, who’s also an excellent playmaker and would be fun to see him on a line with Sam Bennett and Kris Versteeg.
