I was such a huge fan of Jakub Nakladal. His absolute canon of a shot and ability to find seams quickly gained my interest. He had toughness and a meanstreak and I thought he had what it took to be a 5-6 guy with PP time.

Not sure why it didn't come together for him. Great beard too.

Yeah I thought he'd be a serviceable NHLer too, and really he probably could have been.

I feel like sometimes for a European guy that's not drafted high unless you're a top 4 guy right away that it's tough. Because you're risking being sent down and have to make less money in the AHL to hopefully get that shot, instead of making decent money to play closer to home in the KHL.

It makes you wonder how directly correlated the two things may have been.

Well, the Flames thought that a clearly washed up version thereof was actually a starting goalie in disguise and worth a German Titov...

(Still loathe that trade.)

Why is Mitch Wahl’s head so tiny?

I always thought the guy's face looks like it is made of plastic. His face is always so smooth looking and shiny.

I follow the Flames religiously, yet I have no recollection of Bill Lindsay, who played 80 games in 99-00. Every other name on the roster I can recall.
