The way Backlund struggled through the last 15 games, he helped the Flames improve their draft position.
The team sat Mangiapane and Coleman plus some others at times. So I'm not as convinced Conroy and Huska are running them through the meat grinder. I'm sure every NHL player is run down after the season.
The battle cry is play more kids...but we want the kids to suck so we draft higher. Kadri and Kuzmenko played too good but their contracts are still bad. There's just no satisfying people.
