It's always telling when a player like Lack gets very limited playing time, and then is suddenly given away. Reminds of Philippe Sauve years back. Played 1 game as a Flame, then gone. For all we know those guys weren't putting in the work at practice, in the gym or behind the scenes. Then you see bad player like Bartowski, Brouwer. Players who aren't very good. But they work hard behind the scenes and are good teammates.
In Lack's situation there was talk of him not being good enough in practice. Fans dont' usually get to see stuff like that. But IMO it's pretty telling that there was more going on (or not happening) behind the scenes then simply ''the Flames had other plans''.
