There's also a history with the organization, with him being an assistant there.

St. Louis also has a #1 C that is 25 years old. Here is the age of the top 5 point producers on the Blues. 25, 26, 22. 29 and 32. The Flames top 5 point producers are 33,31,31,21,32.
Wolf is great, but they have a goalie who won a cup. If I was a coach I know which team I would pick to work with.
We are headed to a 3rd straight non playoff season and all we have to show for it is Parekh as a top tier prospect. That is a massive failure. I will give you the 1st playoff miss because they had a roster built to compete, but they lost 2 star players so they pivoted. But they should have leaned into a rebuild that year but whatever. Once the UFA players said no they should have leaned into. I don't get this culture and mentorship bs. You would still have Kadri, Weegar, Huberdeau here.
