I don't understand some cliches.

In the case of Brodie, I agree last year he forced the Flames to make the decision keep Brodie out of training camp. He stayed for 3 games and then didn't do enough to stay on the Flames, and was sent down to develop further.
I have actually agreed with the Flames the decisions they have made as to who stays and who is sent down makes sense. I don't agree with giving people jobs, because they were a first rounder. They have to earn the right to play in the NHL.
It is the responsibility of the veterans to keep their own jobs just as much as it is the responsibilty of the rookies to force management to say the rookie deserves the chance to play. If the rookie is good enough to earn the veteran's job well now you a decision to make. How do I make room for him taking into account Salary Cap, player roster size, etc......
