I guess it depends what is meant by “B” but Brz seems like an exciting prospect. In a redraft, he must have at lest a 2nd round grade on him, no? Maybe he could be A minus.

My reading between the lines on what Wheeler said in his Canuck note ...

The drafting of one top prospect, acquisition of a B or B-plus grade one, positive developmental steps for another top prospect and rare reintroduction of another who at this time last year was in the NHL have combined to give the Vancouver Canucks’ pool a boost even after moving out B-plus prospect Hunter Brzustewicz (who never actually made an appearance in the countdown) and C prospect Joni Jurmo.

HB is a B+ now, but last year he wasn't and wasn't in the Canucks top prospects list.
Meaning the loss in a year over year comparison is muted for Vancouver since Jurmo slid, and HB wasn't on the list last year to begin with.
For the Flames though that's an add of a B+ to the system which will have an impact.
