Projected top six wingers is our position of least need. If helenius or iginla or yakemchuk are there jr is third on my list never mind if catton or lindstrom or demidov, or buium or dickinson happen to fall.
Is he a legit prospect? Yes.
Equal or better will be there at nine at positions of greeter need.
So unless jr replicated dads career i cant see taking a winger if premier defencemen or centres are an option as benefiting us winning more or sooner than a great defencemen or Center; especially since we dont really have one of those great young defencemen or centers. Were picking top ten and we get a winger? Thats typical calgary.
