I see every prospect that Calgary has even on a 'borderline' opportunity be given a chance to actually make it. More rookies were started last year than even the blown-up Edmonton Oilers at the beginning of the season. How this myth keeps perpetuating is perplexing.

Actually reading between the lines this is exactly what I find disappointing. I don't know who's fault it is, and I'm not laying any blame. However, it would be pretty cool to have young talent pushing the veterans.
Rather than we give every opportunity. Honestly if kids are not ready to take a job from a veteran why give it to them.
I'm not even sure if we can fix it other than we have to get better at our drafting process.
