I gotta laugh at the people thinking that 2017 2nd rounder looks pretty good. You really want to toss away a 6'4 200 pound center that has great hands, is a very good skater, and has was the go-to guy for the best defensive team in college hockey for the past four years, for an unknown draft pick? Hey, maybe that draft pick will turn into a 6'4 200 pound center in five years! All you're suggesting is turning that 21st pick in 2012 into a 7-9 year development window to see if it bears fruit. I know, but it could be a boat! |
And yet, the Flames brass, who know him best, are seemingly unwilling to budge on burning a year, and willing to accept the 2nd (it seems)...
