Hey guys,
I'd like to know which one you would take first: Barker, Coburn or Phaneuf? In which order?
Thanks

craig1 said:PhoPhan, I like the Komisarek=Phaneuf prediction! I can see it happening already! Great call!
So What ?PhoPhan said:Phaneuf....Coburn, Barker.
Prediction: Dion Phaneuf becomes the next Mike Komisarek of HF.
Patrick - Flames Fan said:All I know is the Flames next year top 3 could easily be:
Regher - Leopold
Phaneuf + ?
For a future top 4 defense core that LOOKS HUGE!
PS - ramholt (#2 pick last year) seems to be a very good defensemen as well. More of a puck mover which we could use on the PP as well.
PhoPhan said:I'll back up my claims.
Firstly, I think Komisarek will be good, and I think Phaneuf will be even better.
That being said, I can already see the seeds of Komo-syndrome being planted. He is a monster physical defenseman, and he has good offensive numbers. But EVERYONE is picking him to be this great player. It was Komisarek last year, Frolov the year before. There have been countless others. Soon, every poll on the poll board will include his name. Phaneuf vs. Komisarek. Phaneuf vs. Klesla. Phaneuf vs. Bouwmeester. Phaneuf vs. HatcherPhaneuf vs. Blake. Phaneuf vs. Pronger. Phaneuf vs. Bourque. Phaneuf vs. Orr. Phaneuf vs. Gretzky. Phaneuf vs. the Pope.

Kritty said:If there is a Flames fan out there that is not excited about the look of the team's defence for the future, they need to get checked out. Leopold, Regehr, Phaneuf and Lydman as the likely top 4 in a few years, then add to that Warrener and Gauthier and you have one heck of a defence corp. I've also been fairly impressed with the play of Ference thus far in the playoffs. You can also throw Tim Ramholt's name into the mix. You can see why this team could be a darkhorse for years to come.

Flames Draft Watcher said:I'd say it's likely that Gauthier is the odd man out unless you want him as a 7th defensemen but he's too expensive for that role, small chance it's Lydman that's moved IMO.
Patrick - Flames Fan said:I agree that gautheir would be an expensive 7th man out if everything worked out as it should with Dion and Commodore BUT Lydman is even more expensive with his contract going to 2 or 2+ million soon and with the likes of Dion, leopold, regher, Commodore, Warrener. Lydman would be a 5/6 defensemen on the team and that is very expensive for a guy not on the top 4 core ona small market team.
Would be nice to package Lydman and gautheir for a top forward or solid solid 2nd line scorer. And it would leave our defense as the following.
Leopold - Regher
Phaneuf - Warrener
Ference - Commodore
Montador/Wallin/Ramholt
