It opens up a roster spot up front to try out players, yes. Hudler and Jones out, no players brought in up front. Hathaway recalled.
The Flames actually wanna be at 12 healthy forwards right now it sounds like. That way if anybody gets injured they can emergency recall a forward and not have it count against the 4 recall limit.
The more draft picks the better. I think our scouting has shown over the past 7 years that they deserve any many rolls of the dice as our GM can give them.
