Unfortunately that doesn't help today.
The other problem is that usually teams have more veteran forwards as well. Fortunately/unfortunately, the flames have a lot of quality young forwards in the AHL, where it wouldn't be in their best developmental interest to get rotated in in favour of a vet or two.

You always seem to have some twisted and petty criticism about Stevenson and Cundari. Stevenson is a good player and made you eat crow last week when he got 3 or 4 pts in a game. Couldn't help but think at how stupid you sounded. As for Cundari, I believe he played 2 full games and was injured part way through the 3rd. The entire team sucked in those 1st 2 games. Not sure which coach it was now, but one of them had mentioned he was the most well rounded at that point. But, I'm sure you know better. Pretty small sample size for you to be tearing players apart. Hopefully Potter scores you some credibility.
