Of course not, but every time you're on the ice there's a risk of injury, especially a game where guys are hitting hard to make a good impression. So it's smart to limit your blue chip prospects ice time in a rather meaningless tournament, knowing that they'll be at regular training camp right after.

A meaningless tournament is the World Cup of hockey. Hopefully, flames players don't get selected for that crap. Hate to lose any of our guys to an injury in that meaningless tournament.

Seriously? Look I'm not really a fan of the World Cup either but it doesn't come close to the meaninglessness of the Penticton tournament. Poll any NHLer and ask if they'd rather be part of the World Cup or Young Stars tournament, it's an obvious answer.
