Just look at Coleman, he finally had a chance to take care of some things that were bugging him from Tampa's cup runs, and he's a completely different player out there. He turned into a 70P player from a 40P player. Monahan is another example.
I'm firmly in the wait and see camp.

Yeah, especially with an Achilles being cut. He was off his feet for 6 months, then got injured at the Flames camp. He essentially missed a full year of development. The Flames did select a player knowing he had an Achilles injury, so you can criticize them on taking that risk, but for sure they didn't count on him getting another injury so soon.
I think it will be 3 years at least until we know how this pick turns out.
