10 Things to Watch: Cammalleri

The acquisition of Mike Cammalleri was arguably [and in my opinion, certainly] the biggest off-season move that the Flames made this year. Losing Alex Tanguay leaves a play-making void that Cammalleri is expected to fill, but additionally, the Flames would like to see him add a big scoring punch.

Two seasons ago, Cammalleri put up big numbers, scoring 34 goals and adding 46 assists. After a similarly explosive start to 2007/08 he was slowed by injury and only tallied 19 goals and 28 assists. Playing with the likes of Jarome Iginla, Daymond Langkow, and Todd Bertuzzi could very well get him back to those numbers of two seasons ago.

The Flames and their fans have high hopes for this young talent. Should he live up to his potential, Cammalleri should help the offence become more consistent and convert more opportunities into goals.
