Wahl is totally unproved at the pro level. He looked to be a dangerous threat in his final junior seasons, but he needs to adjust to playing with adults, I'd say that's his main weakness; lack of strength/experience. Even if he is 100% healthy, he's lost his spot for the moment.

An injury will put you back in the queue in the hockey development world. He's probably going to have to wait for someone to fall off before he can reclaim his spot. Look at John Negrin. I just KNOW this guy could play in the NHL. But every injury basically makes him start from the bottom again. I mean, all Breen really had to do to move up in the eyes of the franchise was stay healthy for the whole year. 73GP, second only to Baldwin (75GP) who isn't in the Flames system anymore. The best way to get noticed is to stay healthy and stay in the lineup.
