He was a low ranked prospect before Sutter, and with the arrival of the new coach, he takes another hit. Small players are going to see their opportunities limited. You can only have so many small players on your roster and the Flames have just too many small to tiny prospects. Expect a change in drafting and signings to align with Sutter hockey.

We all agree the bolded is a bad thing, right?
When Sutter was in charge of the Flames' selections, they were one of the worst drafting teams in the NHL. Really don't think that's an amateur scouting philosophy I'd be eager for Calgary to adopt again.
