Does he still have NHL upside?

I read it as: Tanner Pearson, lol.

Does he still have NHL upside?

Flame's drafted goalie?

Does he still have NHL upside?

Meh, some I guess. I would rate the Flames current goalie depth as followed:

Markstrom
Rittich
Domingue
Zagidulin
*Wolf
Parsons
*Chechelev

*The ones most likely to rise through the ranks due to being recent draft picks

Does he still have NHL upside?

He's still raw and inconsistent, but he has his personal demons under control now. I think he still has what it takes to turn into a decent NHL backup.

The only question is whether or not he'll get enough playing time with the Flames to continue developing now that Zagidulin and Dustin Wolf are the top goalies on the Heat.

Dustin Wolf is probably going back to junior

 

[Rubi]

Hopefully his concussion issues are finally behind him and he can move forward in his development.

 

[FlamesFan18]

He is a goalie so he could be an NHL all star this year or in the ECHL again

 

[Bounces R Way]

Kid has a lot of talent. Really just been a rough go since getting drafted. Hopefully he can just focus on playing after he gets back from injury.

 

[Double Dion]

As has been said many times. Drafting goalies in the first 3 rounds is foolish. It seems like you have just as good a shot if you pick a guy at random sometimes. He was a ridiculously good OHLer and has struggles in the ECHL as a pro.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Dustin Wolf is probably going back to junior

Pretty sure Wolf is ineligible to play in the AHL yet. So it's NHL or junior for him, and he's definitely not NHL ready.

Does he still have NHL upside?

A lot will depend on this year. He had some mental health issues he's supposedly dealt with, so we'll see.

Yup. I remember him basically being pulled away just before a training camp and the org worked with him to help him through it.

Flames prospect Tyler Parsons opens up about his mental health struggles: 'I finally spoke up'

Didnt get a chance to see him play last year, how was he with the Canucks?
