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!!

I completely agree. What benefit is there to going to the AHL for 8 games for a team that is out of a race. On the other side of that coin, how much experience is gathered with a team that is 1 pt. up with 5 games remaining?
As for not burning a year, play him 3 of the games in the Reg season, and 6 in the playoffs. As much as we all love this team, the chances of heading to the 2nd round is low.
