Thus, with a team like the Flames iced this year, I wouldn't dare play my young players.
The lockout has proved to be a good thing for Backlund, he's definitely a different person this year than he was last year.

Whoever we select with our 1sts this year won't be eligible to play with the Heat next year. They would have to be on the NHL or back to juniors. That would put them at least two years away if you want them to spend some time in the AHL first. I expect whoever we tale with our pick will at least get their ten games to assess where they're at before being sent back down.
