Burke's comments earlier in the year saying he wasn't exactly sure what (if anything?) the Flames had down on the farm this year speaks to that too.
Treliving had a quick little blurb about this in his press conference yesterday morning too. Saying it would be new to him managing expectations for young players, saying he never had to do with in Phoenix.
