Wow. The beginning of a shrimp era in Calgary.

Crazy good stats though: http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/p...php?pid=130893

Stats-wise it looks like a good pick.

Damn McColgan is still on the board was hoping they'd go after him.

Don't know anything about this kid. 137 pounds is freaking small though.

Look I was in favour of moving away from drafting kids exclusively because they were big strong and western Canadian, but that doesn't mean we have to start exclusively acquiring people who are small either.

so it's clear the flames envy the oilers, with high quality small prospects, except that we're not sure about the 'high quality' yet.

Small but skilled. Headed to Northeastern University in the NCAA next year. Needs to add some bulk, but definitely a strong pick.

Are we trying to find the next Fleury??

Don't know why people think St.Louis is that small. He's not.

5'9, 177 lbs.
