However, 3 of their top 5 scorers are rookies, and 8 of their top 11 scorers are either rookies, or second year NA pros......plus their goalie, and two of their D-men are rookies as well (three rookie D-men when Sieloff comes back). I sure hope the Flames brass doesn't consider that irrelevant.

I don't believe Burke cares, he is going to do exactly what he wants to with the players he wants to do it with. He's done it in the past and a tiger doesn't change it's stripes. Take a look back at Toronto, Kadri and Steen weren't his style of player. What did he do, buried one on the farm and limited the others ice time to the point where he became very very ineffective. Best thing that happened to both players happened when Burke was no longer in charge of their future. Again only time will tell, Burke will have his players good or bad and those will be the ones he goes with.
