Glad to see him called up though. Hope he shows well.

Not disagreeing with your assessment here, but IIRC, Klimchuk has an absolutely lethal wrist shot. I remember Granlund had one, and then saw Klimchuk's, and kept thinking: "Well, at least the Flames have some snipes coming up through the pipeline".
Hopefully he gets into a few games and gets a chance to use it. Granlund wasn't quick enough to use it. Hopefully Klimchuk is.
