Disagree. Stralman had really high potential. Was overhyped as a prospect as a Leaf of course, but the talent was clear.
When the Flames acquired him I thought it was a steal and then was totally puzzled when they dumped him for nothing.
Love Sutter as a coach, but as a talent evaluator I think he's somewhat narrow minded. You see it in the drafting, in the trades and in the players he moved out.
