Weekend Open Thread: Calm Before The Storm

Good news, everybody!
Prospect camp opens on Thursday! The Flames join Edmonton, Vancouver and Winnipeg in Penticton for the Young Stars Tournament beginning on Friday, so this time next week, we will be talking about hockey. Real, honest-to-goodness, actual hockey.
For now, let’s enjoy the calm before the wonderful hockey storm!
Which players are you most looking forward to seeing play the Young Stars Tournament? Emile Poirier? Morgan Klimchuk? Sam Bennett? Somebody else? Heck, a prospect from another team?
Disclosure: I watched a lot of the Calgary Hitmen over the last few years; I’m curious to see how Jake Virtanen stacks up.
