Is this Greg Nemisz's last chance? Sure seems like it could be.
Just did a trip down memory lane for draft articles on him trying to get excited about him again. He was pretty hyped:

30. Detroit Red Wings – Greg Nemisz, C; Windsor Spitfires (OHL)
So what diamond in the rough are the Stanley Cup champs going to unearth this year? We think the big power forward from across the river is the man for the Red Wings. He still hasn’t come into his own but Nemisz has all the tools and when he does, he could become another Joe Thornton.

"As a result of two trades, the Calgary Flames dropped from 17th to 25th. Calgary used the pick to select centre Greg Nemisz from the Windsor Spitfires. At six-foot-three and 197 pounds, Nemisz is expected to add weight to his lanky frame and projects to become a power forward in the NHL. He ranked third in scoring for Windsor with 34 goals and 33 assists in 67 games last season."

10:23 PM- In a great tribute to departed prospect Mickey Renaud, the Flames grab former teammate Greg Nemisz. A big center with soft hands that can bull his way to the net. A great pick for Calgary and a Sutter play.

McKenzie: He's a big guy who likes to get into the slot area. He's got a big shot and he'll be a good goal scorer in the NHL. He's hard to move from the front of the net, but his skating needs work.

So obviously he has battled some injuries. Anyone have any word on his health going into camp? The other thing that concerns me is he was drafted at 200 lbs with a lanky frame that could support more bulk. Every site I can find lists him at only 205 now. Did he just never fill out or are the sites using an old weight?
