The argument over whether one is a "B" or is a "B+" really doesn't matter. That's like moving from an 85 to an 88. Does that really matter? No. Let's see what the player does at the next level before determining whether they are all that and a bag of Doritos. If either player can excel in the AHL, then we have something to elevate. Like Bingo pointed out, Brzustewich wasn't even on the Canuck's list last year, so the jump onto a list is a pretty big step.

Would he have even been eligible to be on the list?
He was only drafted in June...so depending when Wheeler did the list last year he wasn't even drafted yet.
