I can understand giving Backstrom a start in Minnesota... that's fine. But I really doubt Hiller in 10 years is going to be sitting back thinking of these last few starts.

I don't particularly care that he's playing. But acting like its some class move doesn't work for me.
Starting Backstrom is just as bad as Hiller - he's had his game, there is no upside for the Flames in him getting more playing time, in fact he might be even more motivated than the others to steal a game in Minny and actually hurt the club a little in the long run. Give the development time and opportunity to Ortio except for the one back to back left.
