It's the right thing to do. Backstrom and Hiller's entire careers are in jeopardy. Why the hell wouldn't we give them a few games each to try and show the NHL they can still play? It's the classy thing to do and CGY is a pretty classy organization. If we were in a playoff race and still had Ramo then you'd have an argument for never playing Hiller again this season. We will still play Ortio the majority of the games and see what he is about.
Giving those guys each a few games is pretty much a no brainer. Benching veteran UFAs for the rest of the season would be a dick move IMO. The actions the Flames take can affect their reputation. I'd rather they do the classy move instead of the dick move when it doesn't cost them anything.
