See, I see the situation up north as being the situation where you jam fresh faced rookies straight into the NHL line-up without having them take any intermediary steps. I would view this as the opposite... we'd be giving our presumptive new core soak time in the minors which will allow them to learn valuable lessons (life as well as professional) and make them better prepared to be the future Calgary Flames.
They'll still get their shots... they'd just get them post-injury and post-trade rather then right out of the gate. AHL primo icetime time + post-trade/injury NHL work sounds like a better transition plan then just shoving them straight into the show
