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.

None of the players in our top 9 forwards were drafted by Sutter. In fact, Dion is the only impact player Sutter has drafted thus far.
I was high on Backlund and am shocked to hear this. However, he did have a good WJC but average numbers in Sweden. Darryl said on the radio last week he thinks Backlund will be ready next season but if things continue to go poorly perhaps he will need a year in the A.
