Alright, another Albertan in the group. Calgary looks good with their top three defenseman ( Hamrlik, Regher,and I'll add Phaneuf to boot), but aside from that I think the blue liners are a little weak. Steve Montador? Andrew Ference? Rhett Warriner is kind of overrated, I think. The only thing I like about the Flames is that you can almost always count on the forwards helping out in their own zone. Thats what made Calgary so deadly in 03/04 and during that damned playoff run.
Steve Montador is not a top six defenceman but can be dependable when called to perform as in the playoffs with all the injuries Calgary's d suffered. Andrew Ference granted can play at times but he does cough up the puck a bit too much !! But how can you call Rhett Warriner overrated he is a solid stay at home defenceman over the last 6-7 yrs that any nhl team would love to have and will be a great mentor for Mr Phaneuf
by the way Mr. Kor Qel Droma what is your team
