Wonder about that - reports are Lowry didn't leave the Flames on the best of terms.
Would actually say the opposte of your analysis - his positioning is ok (when his head is clear and not running around after guys) but he could be one of the worst skaters in the WHL.
It could actually benefit him to maybe drop a few pounds - yes he is a tall guy but 241 is still a bit on the heavy side. It'll be interesting to see how Rich Hesketh handles him.
