Didn't seem to ruin Gustav Nyquist.
Look, both Burke and Treliving had repeatedly expressed their philosophy about player development. They don't believe it's possible to over-season prospects in the minors.
It's frustrating right now, but that's what you get when you wait three seasons too long to start a rebuild - a long and painful rebuild. The Flames were an impatient franchise for many years, and the new management group (and the fans) are going to have to be very patient to put things on a solid footing long-term.
