Except the Flames have played a ton of preseason games now. More than every other team.
Almost every spot has been filled. The lineup tonight will still be 90% complete.
I'm not too worried about it.
If anything, I think they should keep some of the younger kids up and play them for game one (Valimaki/Andersson + Mangiapane/Dube). I bet the Flames will do better in the first 10 games if they have more young guys in the lineup.
