While I understand what Darryl is getting at here, groan @ the "undersized" comment — and there are also prospects in Stockton who have played more than one or two years. Although I'm not sure that matters in Pelletier's case when he's already top-3 in scoring and the Flames' existing forward depth is horrendous.

It's not like Pelletier, Phillips, or Gawdin necessarily have to come up and turn into elite players right away to be able to stick. That's ludicrous and unrealistic. But when you have four forwards who are barely NHL calibre, if that (Ritchie, Richardson, Lewis, Pitlick) in your rotation every night — where's the downside in making a change?
