Dube and Mangiapane sure, but this was the exception, not the norm. Kylington played most due to injuries and necessity.
You can make an argument for Valimaki playing now but I think it's different from dmen to forwards.
I just think the Flames model has always been for the top 6 to be:
proven player - proven player - NHL Vet
ie: Johnny - Mony - Stewart/Simon/Leivo/Brouwer/Jagr etc etc
Why not have it be:
proven player - proven player - young prospect
