I’d like rookies on the 4th line a lot more if Ryan is there to provide some stability.

Ya, I am indifferent on who is on the taxi squad and agree it should not be young guys who are then missing out on game action, but I think a planned call up should be reserved for a legitimate prospect. Especially given the Flames lack of depth, I would be trying out various AHL prospects on that 4th line to see if one has the potential to stick. A guy like Robinson is not going to be in the NHL in 2 years anyway, a guy like Ruzicka or Phillips may be. If you want a physical presence I would try Popisil before many of the retreads we have as options.
