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!

I'm sure Feaster would have signed him after his junior year but Treliving is trying to properly handle his prospects. If he doesn't get him signed, Feaster has to take some of the blame for drafting a first rounder who is so slow to develop, putting the Flames in this position.
