Even some of the media who follow the team understand the scenario as being negative from a players perspective. I follow Darren Haynes blog and he just tweeted out the same thoughts, you feel bad because his hard work hasn't really resulted in much in my opinion.

I just hope we don't sour a potential young defenceman, that's all. You need to keep the NHL dream reasonably alive for players who have shown some legit promise. |
As someone mentioned when the opportunity is there he has to take the bull by the horns. It has to be frustrating for sure especially when he doesn't get playing time, but at least he is getting opportunities to be up with the big club. He gets to sit in with the team, watch video, spend time with the players, can ask questions and grow as person and a player. Hunter Shinkaruk has been in a similar situation but hasn't been showing enough to take a spot when he does get the opportunity. Pretty sure in Tyler's situation the Flames management, coaches talk about Tyler's development. We can look look at the glass as half full or half empty, but somewhere in the mix the Flames are rewarding the guy for his hard work.
