The thing I like about Calgary is number one it’s not as noisy around their team as it was last year. I think that’s, there’s a lot of noise around the Canucks obviously, and it’s not as noisy around the Flames, and I think that’s a real credit to the organization and the players. And number two, there have been times this year I thought Calgary may fall off the cliff, and they don’t do it. They find a way to stay in it. You know, I think that’s also a credit to them.

You see Wolf, he’s for real, there’s a player there. I think Zary, there’s a player there. Coronato, there’s a player there. Pelletier, there’s a player there. I don’t know what all the ceilings are going to be, but I’m starting to see, you know… Pachal, there’s a guy who’s carved out a role. They’ve found some guys this year and are giving opportunities to guys this year that look like they’re going to be players.

The real interesting guy to me is Andersson. At the beginning of the year, first of all, they’ve asked all their veterans to just play, and they’ve all played. Huberdeau has played better. Andersson has been incredible. Their other guys have all shown up to play. That’s the guy that’s most interesting to me. The overall vision of where they’re going, if Andersson buys into that, that’s a big victory for them. Big victory.

You’re not any less dedicated to Kadri or Coleman, they’re on your roster, but Andersson is a guy you drafted, you developed, and now he’s turning into exactly what you had hoped he would be. And those are the guys you really want to convince: if they buy in, it really sends a great message about your team.
