What I see Troy doing though, is playing Bouma, Armstrong, Bancks, Patterson, etc. quite a bit to motivate the team and shift momentum.
Their roles on this team are clear and I think will translate quite well to the NHL if given the chance. We know what Bouma can do at the NHL level. He can do just as well as TK. I think if Bancks starts putting up the points and can stay healthy, he'll get a serious look next season at being a bottom-6 player with the Flames.

And on that vein, Justin Dowling is my pick for the team's next Carter Bancks. He's doing pretty well in Utah (11 points in 12 games) and is among the league scoring leaders for rookies.
