At the same time it wasn't long ago that a lot of Flames fans were quite high on Horak and thought he would be a fit as a good checking line player. He still has that skill set and has youth on his side and could yet transform himself into an NHL player. He has some value, but I agree, not a significant loss by any means.

Horak's issue is he doesn't play big enough to be effective in the bottom six and his offensive skill set isn't good enough to be in the top six. He's a perfect guy to go up and down from the AHL for years but nothing more.
