This is where scouting pays off. You can't look at an overager's stat sheet - however good it may look - and draw much in the way of a conclusion. If the Flames feel he is worth a contract on, I would trust their judgement. Personally, I can't remember another over-ager that was drawing this much attention - though I am sure there have been some. I am sure there have been many undrafted over-agers with high point totals that only got invites and didn't get signed either.
On a silly side-note, funny how sometimes organizations work. Feaster and Weisbrod seemed to be fixated on the 'owski' players - Jankowski, Hanowski and Bartkowski was one of the players in the Iginla package back then.
This management group - Hunter Smith, Hunter Shinkaruk, and now Dryden Hunt? Any other Hunt-types out there?
