If you read my comments at the time of the trade, you would know that I was disappointed to see HB included in the deal.
I said that the trade was basically a 1st and HB for Lindstrom, the other parts have longer odds to amount to much.
So not sure why you are suggesting that I now think he is now a bad player?
Or why you would write Mynio off because he is a 3rd round pick when both HB and Mynio were third round picks, one the 75th overall and the other 89th overall?
My post was in response to discussion of the Nucks rankings and if the loss of HB impacted their ranking and if the addition of HB will raise the Flames ranking.
Given that the Flames prospect pool is rated higher by Wheeler, and Mynio was ranked 10th on the Nucks list I am interested in where he comes in on the Flames list.
If you think that is an attack on the player, I'd suggest you take your own advice and get off it.
As for why HB wasn't/didn't sign in Vancouver, haven't a clue ... some chatter that he didn't want to sign because of where he saw himself on the depth chart.
