No different than last year when Sven got sent down. Really only a vocal minority that couldn't grasp that the move was for the best. Yes a few of them will whine when player 'X' is getting 12 minutes a night wasting space that Johnny Hockey could be playing but it's pretty easy to tune them out and some of them (I won't name names) can be a source of humour in their over the top posts.
I'm a Raiders fan so I have patience up the wazoo. I know better days are ahead for this franchise and I'm patient enough that I don't need to see the kids play earlier than they should be just to satisfy my own selfish need to see the shiny new toys. This is about building a team the right way not providing instant gratification for fans. Playing kids early is the reason the Oilers haven't progressed in their rebuild. If anything Flames fans should be hoping for the organization to approach the rebuild 180 degrees from how the Oilers have handled their rebuild.
