Seriously, he spent Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb with the Flames / Flames trainers / Flames coaches. He was pissed when he got sent down and I'm sure Treliving said, "You'll be back here the first chance we get".
And as someone earlier mentioned, the AHL isn't even an option for him next year. So why send him to a team with very little to play for with no players or coaches he really knows when it's not even an option for him next year?
Sam has forced their hand. He's way too good for junior. He can't go to the AHL. He has to be a Flame next year. Give him a head start vs the Oilers and Coyotes and take it from there!!
I've never been more confident in a prospect living up to the hype. He won't let anyone down...he never has. Sam will help the team and add the spark many are mentioning. And I will be cheering!!
