I want to qualify, I am a big supporter of Pelletier. He was the player I wanted at our pick (between him and hoglander).

He was terrible in the preseason. He couldn’t pass or shoot the puck. The only skill set he showed was good on ice positioning. It’s one of those where he simply got passed by other players currently and had a whole host of guys breathing down his neck. It really depends on the severity of his shoulder issues. It might be like Monahan where a year from now he bounces fully back. Or he might just be this player.

Either way, the flames have a litany of winger prospects that profile just as well as him so if it doesn’t turn out it’s not the worst thing ever.
