I would normally agree, but I think in this case I side with the player. Chicago is deep on wing already, plus there are prospects in the pipeline ahead of him. It might take a few years before he gets a fair look.

He would look great in the Flames prospect pool, but I have to think Florida must be on his mind. Playing with his bro on a rebuilding team seems like a solid option for him.
