The fact that he missed a year actually is a point in his favour, as he may have an excuse for being so rusty.
Look, I think his chances of being great is pretty slim. But if he comes cheaply, what do the Flames have to lose? It’s not like the Flames are going anywhere fast. They can certainly give him an opportunity.
He’s still very young and has missed a lot of time. He has at least proven himself healthy this year. As long as the acquisition price is low.
