I am worried about the longer term implications of missing the playoffs for the young core:

Colburne 19 ahl play off games 2 NHL games (in the Leaf"s org)
Backlund, 13 ahl playoff games in 2009-10
Brodie, 0 pro playoff games
Monahan, 0 pro playoff games
Bouma... 5 ahl playoff games in 2009-10 as a Junior call up

It will be another year at least before these guys get to play in an important game.

Does Gaudreau need to play some games in the AHL to qualify for the playoffs?

When Gaudreau gets sent down it would be pretty close if the NHL team could beat the AHL team in a series,,,, If Brodie and Gio played for the AHL team the AHL team would be favored.

My expectations went down after camp when the Flames direction went with defaulting spots to the veterans.
