There was an article about him in a Dutch newspaper today.
To be honest, I had never heard of him before.
I Googled him and I read about his off ice issues in this thread.
Do you guys think he's high on the Flames scouting lists?
On one hand it would be so cool to have a Dutch Flames player, on the other hand I don't want this to be reason that the Flames draw attention overhere... I kind of want to keep my (almost) exclusive Dutch Flames fan rights

One of the Flames scouts owns the Charlottetown Islanders, which is Sprong's team. The Flames 2nd round pick from last year, Mason MacDonald, is also their goalie. The fact that Sprong is a right shooting right winger, one of the very few in the first round, and that they are more familiar with him than any other team in the NHL it would not shock me if they picked him. Actually, it would tell you a lot about what the Flames think of him if they don't select him considering he has the most raw skill of anyone ranked outside the top 12 and he perfectly fits the only need the Flames have in the forward ranks.
