Andersson-Stone

Basically nothing changes. If Kylington hits, you've replaced Valimaki. He had four fewer points than Andersson in 7 more games, it sounds like they're pretty close together in terms of development, and everyone adores Andersson.
It's nothing like Edmonton.

How does 'basically nothing change'?
Mangiapane, Dube and Foo have ALL been given roster spots (and I'll assume Hathaway is also upstairs). That bottom 6 might be as bad as last year.
1) imagine what the lineup looks like once there are a couple injuries
2) the Flames' prospect list, now that you have graduated those guys, would look like this (ignoring goalies):
1) Kylington
2) Phillips
3) Klimchuk
4) Gawdin
5) Ruzicka
