He may or may not be there. What we do know are these points:
1) Flames scouted him heavily and flew their GM and head coach to speak with Czarnik, and even showed Czarnik some of the potential line combos that he would find himself in.
2) 23 other teams expressed interest in this kid. Czarnik picked Calgary.. why? Because that was such a high dollar contract? Or was it because Calgary showed him the potential opportunity he would get in Calgary?
3) Czarnik is a RHS. Lindholm will definitely be on one of the two PP units, but who is the other? Brouwer? Ryan? Neither have strong PP numbers. That one time shot from the slot is an option that would help create for a more dynamic PP.
I don't see why a couple of posters are getting so worked up. Hey, if he fails, he fails and that will be the end of that. I would bet my account here that unless Czarnik walks into pre-season unfit or unprofessional, or performs very poorly, that he would get a look at one of the PP units and see how he fits.
However, I guess I am no better than other fans from different teams if I think Czarnik will get a look on the PP.

Again. Some PP time to try? Sure. Thats what the preseason is for.
Read the 'guarantee' post on pg1? That is what I have a problem with.
