Been a while since I posted anything but I think this is a good time to chime in.
As a fan I hope JG stays up with the Flames (a popular sentiment by the sounds of it). However, I think for the organization the best thing will be to give him time in Addy. Not only will it be a good place for him to round out the finer points of his game while building confidence, it will allow a vet to improve their stock throughout the league. You send a vet down to Addy and there's a chance you lose that asset for nothing. If said vet proves to be worth something in the NHL, you may pick up a later round pick or prospect.
For Sam, another year in Jr. will not be a bad thing. Give him a crack at the Flames next year after another year of physical maturation. What's the rush?
