Give it to someone coming up through the system. Maybe when Poirier makes the jump. He's likely not going to get his #4 with the big club.

No young players should have to deal with more storylines than they signed up for. Imagine Theo and his cronies spouting off with child-like vigor about the flames and the player in question like he does about Gondek? No thanks.
