Not to derail the thread but this is why I disagree with people who say the flames aren't rebuilding right now. The team would have been better with joki or stoll etc but they chose to allow backlund and cervenka to get more ice time with quality wingers.
Joki would have been an average second line center but really we needed to see what Backlund and Cervenka could do with those minutes to progress towards the future.
