Kerins has shown he is a quality pro. Just a case of if he's going to be one of those guys that sits on top of the AHL scoring list season after season, or if he can do it at the next level. But I also have no clue how the Flames view him internally. If they see him as a legit prospect or just a good pro to have on the minor league team.

For sure, the comparison for me was the two players’ situations- conditioning and what not.
