This China trip is nothing but fantastic for the Flames organization. The guys on the main roster get a competitive head start to the season with the added spotlight on them.
It's interesting to see Foo exclusion from the roster but he will have something to prove here by being one of the 'leaders' staying back to hold down the fort.
Meanwhile we also have so many rookies looking to prove themselves in pre-season games, added motivation and a larger spotlight on them in comparison to a normal pre-season.
