Yeah the young guys will get another chance but I wouldn't call not properly training to be a plus.
More on this subject, I'd like to see the Flames holding an all summer conditioning camp for their all their prospects. Something along the lines of what Gary Roberts does but only for Flames prospects.

It's more the attitude than the lack of conditioning by itself. I think teams want to gauge the mentality of the player. Lack of conditioning can be a sign of something lacking inside a prospect's head, but not necessarily.
With regard to Nichushkin, I doubt that conditioning would be an issue. Russian players tend to be pretty well developed in that regard.
