I think that mostly depends on who our coach is next year. I know Brent has had good success with young players in Red Deer and WJC's, but I worry he will make Bartschi earn his was up, starting him on the 4th line with grinders. Now don't get me wrong, every player should have to earn their ice-time, however there is still a proper way to develop your young guys with out forcing them to grind it out 1st.
