It wasn't that long ago that a Flames prospect named Cory Stillman was being compared to Sakic. Stillman was a fine pick and a nice player to have, but he never became that core piece that a player like Sakic was, so I am a little jaded I suppose.

I sure hope he is right though (assuming we were to draft him).
