Russell was a great find. His numbers in junior were incredible.
To adress the threads topic though, I agree with Poe69s post on the first page. I dont see it as the Flames having to show the kids they want to win. Maybe it can be viewed as the Flames showing faith in their youngsters. We were very good when we had all those call ups earlier in the season. I think if glencross goes and we dont replace him its just a top 6 spot for sven or granlund opened up.
I think we will acquire an NHL defencemen for our bottom pairing who can move up to the 2nd pairing if need be, trade glencross and deal to get some picks or take a salary dump or whatever we can do within our patient rebuilding strategy. Other than that we will stick with who got us here.
