Comes down to our coach and GM refusing to give younger guys a look. All about that veteran presence! Just another example of taking the safe, scared option instead of taking a risk.
Pelletier should have probably started the year with the team for at least 9 games. Gawdin and Phillips should have both seen time by now. Even Zavgorodniy or Ruzicka could have received a look after looking good in camp.
Especially since the AHL isn’t going on yet for the Flames. No reason you couldn’t have given a couple of the young guys a game or two to see if they provide a spark.
But nope - we would rather keep giving time to the Froese, Robinson, Ritchies of the world who have no real NHL upside long term but have have some experience.
