The Calgary Sun points out that as he tries to re-stock his team's recently barren cupboard of young prospects, GM Jay Feaster is aware that those opportunities are a selling point.
"Anytime you're going after free agent players, it doesn't matter their status … I do believe players look for opportunity, and they want to see where they'd be on the depth chart," Feaster said. "They want to see how many guys are ahead of them, and there's no doubt in our minds that, you know, as a result of our committing last year to a rebuild, we are a team that offers tremendous opportunity."
The Flames will need to ensure they maintain high standards for their prospects in the years to come in order to avoid any sense of a losing culture setting in. But Feaster says so far the young faces have come in eager to prove themselves.
"It's one of the reasons that our development camp was so good this year," Feaster said. "It was a hard camp, and it was a spirited camp with lots of competition, and I think that's why (it was so good) because guys saw it as a chance to make an impression.
"You always say there's spots available, but certainly, when you look around at our club this year, there really are opportunities."
