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
