Glad the flames are investing time in them though, think it pays off long term (ignoring the crappy expansion draft)

Absolutely agree. These guys are going to be good for us for a while, but I just mean that right now, they’re not strong enough to battle in the crease. Ideally, Andersson and Stone form a solid bottom pairing going into playoffs.
