True, but it really doesn't matter who is to blame. And regardless of expectations, I don't see him what many others do

1. It's been 15 months as already stated. He has gotten better between then and now.
2. Shocking that he's not as good as Hal Gill. Gill wasn't as good as Gill for a long time. Much less as a guy who isn't used to his massive size yet.
3. He brings the same things to the Flames that he does to the Royals. A large physical defensive presence who will block a ton of shots and be a monster on the PK. He will scare opposition forwards enough to not take liberties with our goaltenders. Is he ever going to be Regehr? Probably not. He's an interesting prospect. Ditto Hunter Smith. You don't fill the entire system with guys like that,but itit'ss certainly advisable to have a few of them kicking around. They're like goalies that way.
