Pittsburg didn't send Crosby and they were a bottom dweller.
The Oil didn't send Nugent-Hopkins and they stunk.
Tavares was on the Isle and they were horrible.
Stamkos didn't go with a bad Melrose Tampa team.
Skinner didn't go with a bad Carolina team.
And on and on and on
I repeat if he's producing on the Flames in a meaningful role (top 9) there is NO CHANCE he is being sent to a meaningless 2nd tier tournament.
