Now that we've more or less determined what kind of shirt slogans we want for the upcoming FlamesNation Gear batch we're realeasing at the end of the month, I figured it was time to share some desgins to go with them. Here's a selection of what a reader has sent over so far (including the header graphic above):
Flames Darkhorse Targets: Jordan Subban

The youngest of the Subban brothers is the relatively diminutive Jordan Subban, a defender for the OHL's Belleville Bulls. At 5'9" and 180 pounds, Jordan doesn't have the size of elder sibling and probable Norris trophy winner PK Subban, but he does have a similar offensive flair. If he was 6'2", Jordan would almost certainly be a top-30 pick this year, but his size and the problems associated with being smaller in the NHL (particularly as a defensman) have him projected as a probable 2nd-3rd rounder this year.

This past season seemed poised to be Lance Bouma's best chance yet at being able to make himself a permanent fixture on the big club. However, we never got to see if that was going to be the case.

1. Ramo is locked up
It may have been just a formality at this point, and no they can't reveal terms until July 5, but I guess it's nice to have some level of confirmation that they got the Karri Ramo contract done in something resembling a timely fashion.
I'm not surprised by the multi-year term and I probably won't be surprised by whatever the money is (unless it's really low, I guess), but it really does look like they're going to run a battery of Joey MacDonald, Reto Berra and Ramo, which I think is very interesting.

According to Andy Strickland, the Flames have come to terms with Karri Ramo on a multiple year deal. The deal can't be officially confirmed/announced until July 5th, the date that Ramo's KHL contract ends.
