Agreed. I am not writing off Kerins, but the jump from the ECHL to AHL is huge. Klapka showed he can play in the AHL already and seemed to really get going as the year went on. He also stood out in his first NHL camp.
He'll be a niche player, but I can see him becoming one of the undrafted gems the Flames have found in recent years (Hathaway and Duehr for example).
