Giordano left to play in Russia instead of continuing with the Flames development plan for him. It's been a long standing trend that the Flames prefer to play vets unless a young guy forces their hand like Gaudreau, Monahan or Tkachuk.

We can agree to disagree but in my opinion (which doesn't matter to anyone involved) Zayne should be playing in the NHL. I don't think Dickinson, Buium or Levshunov are going to bed every night upset that they're playing in the NHL instead of the AHL.
Wolf, Mangiapane, Coronato, Andersson, Zary, Pospisil, Dube (until, well...), Klapka...

Right now on the Flames you have Gridin playing on the Kadri line, Coronato playing on the Backlund line, Kuznetsov playing top 4, Honzek playing with backlund when he's healthy. Theyse guys aren't being held back.
