Which was my reaction to someone writing off a 2nd as a guaranteed Wahl or Ramholt.
2nd rounders develop into solid players all of the time. Probably more often than reclamation projects turning out actually.
Funny how now that the Flames traded their 2nd, it has little value but when the speculation was happening before the deadline no one wanted to part with it for anything.
