Difference being this is a 23 year old player entering his prime now who has never played in a North American league, so how he performs in pro has YTBD. He is more promising than you give him credit for.
Edit: And also sort of totally outscored this Curtis Hamilton and thus is a poor comparable.
He has as good a chance as anyone to fill the top line rw spot. We don't necessarily need him to score 60 points, but if he can make space and gather the puck for JOHNNY and mony then it could work. Kinda like Patrick maroon for the ducks. Getz and perry did there thing and he helped cycle. Perhaps this guy can play that role for calgary.
I must have missed the part where Prilby bulked up from 6-2 180 to Maroon size 6-3 230.
Cervenka was pretty much the smallest most timid player in the league that year with the Flames and this year he had 96 PIM terrorizing the Czech league. Prilby's PIM look like a Lady Byng contender.

I'm beginning to think you just don't like Czechs. Cervenka, Frolik and now Pribyl.

Interesting story on ESPN, Vladimir Tarasenko really wanting the Blues to sign his friend Artemi Panarin. Blues initially didn't have enough interest due to concerns about Panarin's size. Now it sounds like they are regretting it and could have signed Panarin if they had jumped on it. Panarin and Kane have had instant chemistry. I think the key for the Flames depends on elite skill and finding the right chemistry for Johnny, Monahan, and also for Bennett. If we could somehow get both Pribyl and Lane.
