Again, he’s just turned 22 and you probably don’t need to look too hard to find other 1C’s who have had similar ups and downs for their first few years in the league. Draisatl wasn’t showing his dominance until 23. Pettersson’s point total high at that age was 68.

The point is Stutzle as your number 2 center or 1B would have this team in a lot better position if they had bottomed out 1 more year instead of selling assets to try and speed up the rebuild.
Trading a 1st for Duchene and then trading more assets to end of drafting 10th overall in 2010 were both big mistake trying to speed up the rebuild.
Thats 2 potential top picks and franchise players to pair with their core if they had just remained patient.
Flames cant make this mistake
