Tim Jackman.
I'd say that counts as a vet who was pushed out of the roster to make room for rookies. Jackman was on the roster on the opening night (scratched), got a total of 10 games in a Flames jersey before he was Traded to Anaheim. (November 21st, for a 6th round pick.)
Also, that Treliving tweet... Sigh.
Threads/reactions like this are really a prime example why creating a winner in Canada is just harder than it is somewhere else.
That tweet might calm down some fans, but it also
a) creates a bit more trade talk, which is well known to disrupt locker rooms
b) weakens the teams trading position (granted very marginally)
People should just calm the #### down and let the management do their thing for a while before going crazy over which borderline NHL player makes our crappy roster on a team that's headed for the bottom of the standings, again.
Also, Johnny Hockey is on the team, how about some positive emotions people!
