I don't get this Calgary doesn't like young players thing ...
They promoted Monahah, Gaudreau, Bennett, Tkachuk straight to the show. They moved out vets this year to make room for Jankowski, Hathaway, and others in trial. They shipped out their backup goaltender to promote an AHL goaltender with upside.
I think the thing is being ready.
Organizations that leave spots open based on prospect lists get buried.
I do believe they are having a Rasmus Andersson conversation daily, but a playoff bound team (guessing they still believe) doesn't move a defenseman at the deadline to make room for an AHL standout.
