I didn't pay as close attention to WJrs this year as I usually do, but I'm pretty sure that Neimsz was not on the first PP unit, something that is a regular occurence in Windsor, so a drop in his offensive output is to be expected. Neimsz will be a middle two way winger similar to David moss, but with more natural offense.
However, that doesn't mean that he was a great draft choice. I've always been a firm believer that Carlson would have been the better guy of the two.

Good post.
Based only--only--on what I saw of the WJC I would have to agree. Carlson looks like the superior pick. A really good 27th. Maybe the Flames didn't want to draft another defenceman in the first round.
Ah well, we'll see how it all unfolds.
