Instead of reading this stuff and speculating about his play or the direction he is headed in, let's wait a week, watch him at the world jr's and form an opinion based on that instead of some articles. Level of play alone doesn't always dictate playing time as I'm sure we are all aware, we have no real way of knowing what is going on there.
The Flames have done a pretty good job of developing young players as you can see with the impact on our roster this year. Some pretty good ones in the AHL right now as well. I'm sure Darryl's not going to let the situation get out of control. He handled the Ryder thing very well, I thought, and I'm sure he'll do the same here and help the kid out in whatever way necessary.
No worries.
