Other teams have elite players now too (Kulich is a guy I really want the Flames to target with Buffalo) and you need to be able to score.
Doesn't matter if maybe those guys aren't as well rounded as other options...they are averaging over 2 points per game in the WHL for a reason (or in Nadeau's case well over a PPG in the NCAA).
Ridiculous that they didn't even get invited to the camp, let alone make the team.
