Well it's pretty obvious with Feaster's statement that the Flames do have a problem, even if it's only a matter of perception. I found it glaring when Darryl signed that plug to a one way contract, so that Giordano had no chance to make the team, so he moved on to Russia. It's been a topic that has been discussed here for years, so if you want to bury your head in the sand, be my guest.

Erixon also did not like that in recent years, the Flames have opted to go with an older lineup. He thought his rookie status would work against him despite Feaster telling him that under the new administration, youth would have the opportunity to play with the team while noting there were reasons some prospects have yet to make the jump.
"From our perspective, it's because some of the young players simply weren't ready. Some of the young players that were brought in, such as a Dion Phaneuf for example, have been traded so they're not here right now but the concern was that when push comes to shove, we're a team that is more comfortable going with veterans."
