I think we may need to adjust our expectations of this young man. I think he could be a Flame for a long, long time. Just not in the role we initially thought. It remains to be seen how his career plays out but I don’t have a huge problem if he becomes a career 3rd liner or an energy guy. Stanley Cup winning teams need those types of players too. It’s unfortunate that Calgary may have a 4th overall bust in him but that doesn’t mean that he can’t become a big part of this team’s identity for years to come.
