I am as a big of a flames fan as anyone but I think a lot of people are over valuing our players. If Penner is only worth a 4th and Macdonald from the
Isles can't get you more than what they got I think it's a pipe dream to think we can turn Carmi into a 1st +. You might argue his value might be similar to Penner's (maybe even less depending what teams are looking for) The reality is he is a small one dimensional player who isn't doing what he is good at particularly well. I cringe when I hear there are 4 scouts from teams xyz in attendance because if they are watching what I am watching they certainly wouldn't be motivated by his play the last 15 games or so. I would argue he has actually been one of our worse forwards during that stretch despite getting lots of ice time and opportunities to play with good players. In the words of Kevin O leary - "stop the madness".
