I think this is something we could see more of in the NHL in coming years. Why not rest players on some road trips/back to backs, especially when you have young guys pushing to get NHL playing time like we do. Not sure if the Flames will be the team to start doing it but it would make sense with Jagr, and star players as well in the future against some weaker teams. It would be good to get some rotation going and keep our top guys fresher for when they are most needed in the playoffs, as long as it doesn't effect our position in the standings too much.
