Knight 2.0
It is particularly difficult for Reinhart who is supposed to break through as a bottom 6 player. He had 1 hit in his 8 game NHL call-up and he had to understand that his way onto the Flames was playing hard.
Byron, when given his NHL shot last year improved his RGI from .8 to 1.9 last year ... and became a fan favorite rather than a small softie.
Look for Knight to be a surprise roster player when a few of better prospects get sent back to the NHL.
The 3 soft skilled spots on the Flames are taken by Gaudreau, Hudler and Raymond. Makes it harder for the Baertschi/Granlund/Reinhart to add to the lineup.
