Calgary Flames
A Case of the Mondays: Signs of Life
As tomorrow marks the beginning of June (as strange as that may seem for those of us living in the Prairies/the majority of Western Canada) the summer's main events in the draft and free agency are rapidly approaching. In the next little while, I'll begin looking at draft prospects and what are (hopefully) realistic free-agent targets for the Flames. For now however, here are your links for this, the last day of May.Â
