From wondering what Parsons is up to this year after bailing on the team, to Irving unsuccesfully slogging away in Europe, to Howse becoming a scout for some minor minor league team, to Chucko becoming a banker…
Being a draft pick that doesn’t meet expectations must be a weird life.

The goalie picks in the last decade have been very very dire. Hopefully Wolf can turn that around. The most impactful position and the Flames have not been able to develop a long consistent starter from the draft. Mason Mcdonald and Tyler Parsons were not even close to making it to the show. Wolf seems like he will at least get to the big club. Which for this franchise is a big deal considering the history of drafted goalies by the Flames in the 21st century.
