Anyone else annoyed by this? Vancouver has a worse track record recently of developing prospects, so I'm not sure how their 'system' of developing players is going to be better than ours.

Of course they think that. Just as the Flames, along with local media and fans would think the exact same thing about a player coming here.
The reason the Canucks acquired him is exactly that: they think they can get his development back on track.
Sometimes it happens. Sometimes it just takes a fresh start or a different system. Sometimes the player just isn't good enough. We'll see how it goes here.
For the Flames though, time was up. They didn't see him making the roster by October and he/his agent forced their hand.
That's fine, it happens.
