And again, no issues with Czarnik. The hype is what I don't get.

24 NHL front offices wanted to sign the kid.
Brad Treliving and Bill Peters flew to Michigan to meet him personally.
They had a detailed plan for him and how they envisioned he fit with the Flames.
Treliving says openly they think with the right opportunity he could very well break out.
Peters says he's an elite powerplay guy with his skill set and plans to use him accordingly.
In 4 years of college he had point per game numbers.
In 3 years of ahl he put up better numbers than Marchessault did at the same age.
His underlying numbers so far in the NHL are very promising.
But you dont understand why some of us are excited that we signed this guy?
Because of all of the above reasons and also because some of us knew who he was before July 1st.
He might not make it. He might fail. But there is nothing wrong with us being excited about it and believing Tre and Peters when they say he's going to get a legit shot here if he earns it.
Can we put this to bed now?
