I always had such high hopes for Vesa Viitakoski. He had a laser of a shot and was a pretty big guy, I really hoped he would turn out to be a force offensively. He ended up only playing 23 games total.

And who was the Russian prospect who had the thyroid problem and ended up weighing like 280 pounds? It wasn't Medvedev, it was a forward, I think his name started with a 'G'?

Those were dark times for the Flames. Even the prospects weren't immune.
