Bend it like Bourgeois · 11-15-2013, 04:22 PM

I don't think its about toughness. As it stands the flames have barely 4 nhl centres and 6 nhl wingers, when all are healthy.

I think they would love to have better options than mcgrattan and jackman, and will before the season is out. It is only 20 games in. Much like they started Berra in the AHL despite a clear desire to have the guy here, I think you will see more youngsters come up at forward, when they are ready and likely to be usable semi-consistently.
