You'd think one would get bored of continually projecting amazing things and being constantly wrong. Yet here we are. David Staples everyone.

Calgary would not guarantee him NHL placement. Edmonton would.

He has a chance to do something with the opportunity handed to Tobias Rieder, Ryan Spooner, Drake Caggiula, Jesse Puljujarvi, Kailer Yamamoto and others last season.

Reider scored 12-16 goals every year until Edmonton. Spooner, over 10. The others were ruined from the get go. Poor old Nygard is in for it.

Could go either way. If he's a legit top 6 NHL quality winger then yes he made the right choice because he'd have a tough slog to get that kind of opportunity here... if on the other hand he's a legit NHL quality forward but not Top 6 quality (let's say he's like a Freddie Sjostrom)... well then he just made a mistake because playing with Mangiapane and Ryan beats the heck out of playing with Brodziak & Rattie.

Predictable, but still crazy.

Every year guys like this come over, and with the exception of Panarin they are hit and miss for the most part.

Having some hope is fine, but literally assuming a top six winger is crazy.

Between things like this, and naming half the AHL team as prospects I just shake my head.

I am glad the Flames tried to add some free assets including Nygard.

He would have had a tough time cracking the Flames though.

David Staples' ability to type and wave pompoms at the same time is a special talent.

Allow me to list the forwards who played the most EV minutes with Connor McDavid this season (in order):

Leon Draisaitl
Zach Kassian
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
Alex Chiasson
Ty Rattie
Drake Caggiula
Milan Lucic

Half of these guys are waiver material, never mind legit top -6 talent.

If this Nygard kid has two feet and a heartbeat he'll get multiple extended stretches on the top line.
