I'm a bit surprised JC Lipon went undrafted last year. After posting an NHLE of 23 in his 18 year old season, he was passed over 240ish times by every team in Pittsburgh - for Lipon, perhaps the third time is the charm?

With the recent acquisition of Corban Knight – combined with the drafting in 2012 of college-bound kids Mark Jankowski, Matthew Deblouw and Jon Gillies – it's pretty obvious that the Calgary Flames are gung-ho about college prospects. This isn't exactly a brand-new proposition, as it's a drafting habit that arguably began in 2010, when the Flames grabbed University of Wisconsin defender John Ramage and then-incoming Boston College forward Bill Arnold.

Corban Knight is the newest Flame. He is also a scholar, a gentleman, a free mason and a superhero.

Last week, we took a look at the centres where Jay Feaster could find value. This week, we'll take a look at the wingers. Certainly, the Flames have a ton of cap space. But Moneypuck isn't about only finding cheap players; no, it's more about getting value from the contracts you sign. Anecdotally, the higher the price in free agency, the less value you're likely to get out of the contract.

It was noted this evening by Edmonton radio host Bob Stauffer that the Flames may be making a play for former Panthers 5th rounder Corban Knight. A 22-year old center from High River, Knight recently completed his fourth season at the University of North Dakota where he scored 49 points in 41 games.
