Is it worth offering a contract to a player who wouldn't even crack your top 10 or 12 depth chart at his position?

Good luck to him anyway.

Gordon is RW not LW

You may know better but I can't find any site that lists him as a RW.

AFAIK Gordon was a LW in junior and he came to his first Flames development camp as LW.

This past development camp he played RW presumably because of the large number of LWs.

If he lined up as RW with his tryout with the Heat it was most likely because of the LW depth too.

I thought he was a right handed RW

Dude, I am going to miss your articles. Loved having you here and covering the baby Flames. Any chance the Flames relocate you to NY?
