8%. Laughable.
This is what draft and develop and asset management is for you?
No argument on Ruzicka. Can’t get back into the lineup though.
No argument on Duehr. Good future.
Pelletier…being touted as a future captain. 23 games. At the end of the season. Should have been up way earlier.
Gilbert. 21 games. 3rd nhl team. 26 years old.
Mackey. Signed as free agent. 26. valimaki was put on waivers for his 10 games and then traded him.
Phillips. 3 career games. 2 in the final year of his contract. We spent 5 (!) years developing him. Surely he showed enough promise that flames kept him around and invested in him.
Desimone. He’s 28. Free agent signing.
Zahorna. 26 year old waiver wire pickup. Since traded for an ahl player.
Half of your list is 26 or older. Is that draft and develop?
I’m not that fussed about Phillips on a personal level but on a franchise level, it’s terrible.
I don’t believe any on your list make greater than $1 million. In a capped league, you have to get cheaper players onto the team. That’s usually entry level contracts but it’s value for salary cost that matters.
I think that this is probably average in the nhl? Maybe a bit high? Maybe a bit low? And…currently a non playoff team, halfway in the standings…more or less average. Probably a bit below.
Can you honestly say that your list above shows the flames as moving forward?

8% of the entire roster for the year is actually fairly significant - can you tell us what the league average is?
And can you honestly say that the list above shows the Flames are NOT moving forward?
