Yeah but when Maatta was sitting right there and was a consensus better prospect it's a little hard to swallow. People wonder why some teams are always good and some always bad and that's a perfect example when a needy team like the Flames pass on the better prospect for a reach and a good team like the Penguins is all too happy to take the better prospect. Things like this are why there's always separation between good and bad organizations.
Best think Flames fans can do now is just be patient and hope that in three or four years he breaks out as a best case scenario. If he doesn't and is a bust as least the architect of that pick is no longer with the organization so we don't have to worry about Weisbrod inflicting any more damage to the organization.
