The fact that his father works for the Flames likely is a reason why the Flames traded for him. Who better to tell you how to motivate a kid, or give you some background information than his own dad, maybe the kid will feel a bit more accountable too playing for the same organization that his father works for. It was pretty low risk so why not try it, he was a former first round pick.

Lets face it if the Flames traded for Brandon Sutter someone would scream nepotism and how no Sutter ever should have played in the NHL because they're all useless plug farmers. When the reality is that every team in the NHL would love to add Brandon Sutter to their team. There are those who just hate anything Sutter these days.
