Again, I say: why?

Tkachuk - Backlund - Frolik has been the team's best line on the season.

At this point, the season is done with. With that said, now is the time a coach can instil solid habits and reward good play with icetime.

Without the pressure to win-win-win a coach can properly motivate, punish and reward players. It's the silver lining to a lottery pick for a good developmental team. It remains to be seen if Calgary is a good developmental squad, but hopefully they are taking the long term approach to these players.
