You would think that was the case right. I agree. It seems the Flames are just trying to cover up a bit that they knowingly drafted a player with the 4th overall pick that requires a 6 month shoulder surgery. They knew that once he is healthy he will be a major part of the Flames offence for years to come.
Just trying to save a bit of face with the fans and media that might criticize the decision I bet.
Sam was worth the pick regardless.
