But how will the Flames get Van Riemsdyk without trading Hamilton?![]()
Theyd have to trade something that is less valuable than Hamilton, and equal to JVR.

is his size really a concern any more? Atkinson 5'7. Johnny 5'8. And he's at Boston College. Just like Atkinson. Just like his brother ...
Size isn't the concern so much as the middling offensive production.
Matthew Gaudreau is to Johnny Gaudreau as Stephen Gionta is to Brian Gionta. You know undersized BC brothers where the younger undersized brother eventually looks like a 50-60% facsimile of their older, undersized brother but at a further development point..which at that size just doesn't quite cut it.

Steve Kariya?
Stephen Gionta carved out a pretty decent NHL career. If Matty is to Johnny what Stephen was to Brian, he'll be a solid NHL player.
