I’m hopeful, but skeptical about Pelletier.
A 5’9” 170lbs winger almost needs to be an elite scorer or elite hockey IQ to make his mark.
Playing the role he seems to be tracking towards, he needs minimum 3-4 more inches and at least 20 more pounds just to tread water. I wouldn’t be surprised in the least if Stromgren and Honzek have passed him by at years end.
Also don’t like to say, or see it, but his timid play after getting hurt isn’t going to bode well for him solidifying his spot in the NHL whether it be with the Flames or otherwise.
