This is an extra post with new info that doesn't really belong anywhere else,
specifically to address two questions that came up earlier. I think both were
asked by EastCoastFF.

1 - Another newspaper blurb about the status of Doug Dadswell and how the
Flames still had use for him (at least for 2 more weeks)

2 and 3 - Two columns written at the start of the final series (one writer each
from Montreal and Calgary) regarding the growth of Al MacInnis.

I think the headlines are the most telling part...

"...on verge of stardom..."
"...now a complete player..."

the implication being that he wasn't really thought of as either thing before,
but this season and his current play changes the perception of him.
