Yea Bolig (who played 10 mins a night for Chicago) and Engelland on our 4th line and 3rd d-pairing are real similar to Stortini and McIntyre. That's an astute observation on your part.
Good luck throwing German kid on the 2nd line as Plan A to start the season.
The Flames and Oilers are so much alike with their developmental plans and thinking.
