Over 82 games the Flames will show what they really are - for real or otherwise. Regardless if #23 can hang with the big boys let him develop in the NHL being better than everyone else in the OHL won't make him better, and burning a year on his deal will be a good investment.
This year finishing dead last is not important - teaching our young guys how to win is - and if they accidentally finish 20th - so be it. They probably have to do it without serious reinforcements - trading away assets to increase our chance of making the playoffs would be unlikely at this point -
