I am positive this kid turns into a top 3 stud after he works through his nerves.
Letting your kids play through their mistakes pays off in the long run, if they have NHL upside.

Now, I look forward to the coveted 3rd round pick.

I wish I could say I’m surprised these woefully uninformed arguments are still being made, but it seems the Calgary Puck echo chamber is humming along as usual.
It seems to me the same posters who continue to point out the Flames should have traded Valimaki + for a handful of months of Mark Stone are likely the same ones who would be whining incessantly about the Flames giving up a top prospect for a rental.
You guys who dream up imaginary scenarios over deals, or in this case deals that didn’t happen, nearly three years ago in which you actually have no idea what the terms of the deal would have been should be embarrassed. You’re complaining for the sake of complaining. If this is how you choose to spend your time, it might be time for some perspective.
