If this Wolf guy comes in and turns out to be nothing, it won't bother me much either. If Burke says this guy is going to be a top 6 forward for Calgary next year and he turns out to be a defensemen, it's serious cause for concern.

Still disagree.
I think Cervenka is at least as talented as Brunner. It just didn't work out.
That happens and it isn't Feaster's fault. He thought he could be a C and maybe you can throw some criticism on that, but if Cervenka had been successful as a winger, I don't think anyone would have cared.
Nothing wrong with giving guys a chance. If it works out, great. If it doesn't, that doesn't make the GM a bad assessor of talent.
