I heard the streakiness comment come up a couple times in the predraft thread, with one poster saying a team’s scout said Reschny was on his do not draft list because of it.
I watched him seven times this year and he always showed up with his high motor and compete, in on every play even when the team wasn’t scoring. Pre New years, however, he wasn’t putting up the points because Victoria didn’t have the finishers. But after they picked up a couple of more skilled guys, the points consistently came. And they kept coming when the games mattered most.
I feel like along with his size, he picked up the streakiness label during the first half of the season (and maybe the season before) and it stuck for some teams and kept him in the middle of the board.
Now that Calgary got him, I’m very glad. This kid is going to be a big part of the Flames’ future.
