I love all this hard stance on a 20 yr. old.
With the impetuous of youth what's to stop him from shutting down and saying
"Ok tough guy, if you want to keep playing me with 4th line garbage why don't you trade me, and I'll show you how bad I am on a different team"
This will end poorly for the Flames like it often does.
But, don't talk in the presser about the fact that we have the worst bottom 3 defense in the league. Bag on your most skilled player publicly so everyone falls into line, and buys into this meritocricy.
Continue to praise these veterans who were colossal failures the last 3 seasons as "the better option".
Easy to forget this team only started winning games when the youth injection was added last year.
