However, I think development is always more important than pretty much anything. So let the young guys play as well.
Absolutely.

Almost impossible to plan though, you just have to be ready to pounce.

You need that vet center that is all out of options and Calgary just sitting there with cap space and a one year contract offer.

Nobody is rushing to Calgary for a one year deal on day one of free agency.
