Is it pessimism if it's justifiable? It's not like anyone is saying he can't play hockey, just that he really hasn't shown that he's NHL material. He could be in the NHL but the Flames have too much depth on D. He could be a leader in the back end for the heat or he could play on a different team. There are just too many high end prospects who should be given a chance as the #6 guy instead of him.

I'd love to see him traded because I think he has some value and it would be good for the Flames to cash in on it and shore up a different position.
