No kidding.
Last year, we saw the Flames use Monahan, Bouma, Colborne, and Brodie as regular NHLers. Brodie eventually becoming part of the top pair. 314 games combined from those 4.
In addition, Paul Byron played 47 games and Baertschi played 26.
The following players got their cup of coffee in the NHL: Billins, Agostino, Reinhart, Breen, Hanowski, Ortio, Gaudreau, Knight, Arnold, Cundari, and Van Brabant.
Finally both Wotherspoon and Granlund received callups and looked legitimately capable, and likely would have gotten into many more NHL games had it not been for their injuries.
That's 19 rookies/young players that got some NHL action last season.
