Way to really show your top prospect how valuable he is. Make him wait to the last game of the season last year to get any playing time. Continue to shuffle him down to the minors this coming year. Really showing confidence in him. Especially considering how mediocre/abysmal the teams goaltending was last season.

You guys crack me up.
Calgary is in a unique situation in terms of handling this because of the AHL team being here.
At his point in development overall playing time, and exposure to the NHL are equally important. So he can move up and down the AHL to maximize his starts while still getting an appropriate amount of NHL games under his belt.

Tell me what exactly is the problem with that approach?
