I'm not that surprised.

We have too many top 9 forwards on this team and it's a numbers game now.

Plus Burke is now President of this team and will have some say in how the team plays. Look at the Leafs under Burke, they dressed two fighters on the 4th line for most of his tenure there.

That is going to be the same thing we see in CGY moving forward.

Also I look at the Oilers this year and see why they want to take more of a patient, tough love, approach with our young guys. The team up north is a case study of what happens when you just hand over minutes to players.
