And only team in the NHL not to promote any of their post 2018 draft picks. Both GM and coach have a preference for playing or acquiring vet forwards and playing them instead of their draft picks. The prime of a players career is younger and younger these days and they’re wasting that time in the AHL.
And most of my issues right now are with the Sutter led Flames. Peters for some reason was able to get a few players promoted and into the lineup which I’m grateful for despite all the other bad he did.

You must have a retention issue as this was all discussed all week on the site.
Lack of picks.
Lack of 1st and 2nd rounders in those years is the issue.
Or can you name a boatload of players that were blocked in Calgary that went on to have marvelous NHL careers?
Still waiting that list ... it's been about 5 days now.
