I think the prospect’s game wouldn’t been prior to all this injuries though right? Regardless, I just remember watching that game for him and the Hischier hype and came away very underwhelmed by Patrick’s game. Didn’t do much that separated him from the pack. Don’t remember liking his mobility either. Figured he’d be as good as PLD was in the 2016 prospect’s game, but came out more impressed with Robert Thomas in the end somehow.
If the Flames go after Nolan Patrick, It’ll probably end up like another Curtis Lazar situation with our luck. I wouldn’t do it personally.
