So that the guys who are part of the future can play meaningful minutes in their respective developmental leagues and not 5-8 low-leverage minutes here? I have no problem with with guys like Smith eating the short minutes on the team while the upcoming talent reaches maturation.
With regards to Breen... he doesn't look good in the NHL. If he has any upside left he'll need to go somewhere where he can put in the time to reach it at it's not going to happen in Calgary right now. If he can't crack our roster on at least a semi-nightly basis I doubt he's gonna crack anyone eles. He'll clear and go to Abbotsford where hopefully he can put it together and if he doesn't oh well.
