I keep thinking about when Fitz was assistant GM back in 2015-2016 he did one of those segments they do on the pregame and intermissions, where he gave an analysis on a few of our prospects. And Wedgewood came up and he said ''Future NHL goalie, great potential, blah blah blah''. I know he said ''Future NHL goalie''. We had hardly any prospects to ask him about then. Just Zacha, Santini and I don't know who else. I don't even remember if he gave an analysis on Blackwood or not. Probably Blake Speers and maybe even Bastian.I can't wait until Wedgewood is out of the organization.
I giggled at that. But what was he supposed to say? ''The guy sucks? He'll never play a real game in the NHL?''. It was actually right before he made his NHL debut and a little before he was ever even called up to play in the NHL for the first time. He was called up later that year. That was actually his first pro season that he even played better than poorly.
I've been thinking about that segment a lot today and wondering if he really is a big fan of his?
