Not really surprsed by the players sent down to the baby Flames, I only really expected 1, maybe 2 at a push, to make the opening night roster, there were just too many bodies. Johnny came in and earned that spot with his overall play, so cannot complain.
The team were never going to sign players over the Summer, UFA or otherwise, and then send them down, that doesn't go down well with agents/players, regardless of whether we think that is right or wrong it's the nature of the system.
Injuries will happen and some of these players will get their chance as the season goes along. Opening night is not the only game of the season.
