“This is how it’s done”?
Wheatcroft had 12 goals as a 19 year old and is now 21. He’s a dime a dozen junior player with an extremely low percentage of becoming an NHL player.
This isn’t about the Flames not having an inside track, it’s just likely most of the league doesn’t think there is anything substantial there.
