Hey, I hope the guy makes the club and goes lights out all year.

If he's good enough to replace Aucoin on the PP, he will.

No question, I just dont think there is any evidence that this has a reason to occur.

He didn't create any bad blood by going to Russia, Sutter did the same by going to Japan early in his career, so he understands.

Where did I say he created bad blood? I said I believe he stunted his development by doing so....and i explained why. I didnt see him play in Russia, so I cant comment one way or the other for sure, but precedent says he did not improve because of it. He would of been better off staying in NA and playing within the Flames system IMO.....like he will have to do if he makes the team.

Yep, he's just another guy with the footspeed needed in todays game, something the Flames need.

Sure he has good wheels...but there is SO much more to playing good defensive hockey than that...he has some tools, but does he have enough to displace the experience he will be battling for those last couple spots on the team? Not sure about that.
