Yeah, that's what I said.
No, I just think sending someone who is a pretty clear NHLer down to "get their confidence back" hasn't been demonstrated to be a sound theory.
I think you send them down if they aren't good enough to make your team, perhaps to work on specific skills that will get them back, and if they improve, fine. But who on the Flames was sent down and got his game going, then played better up here? Who in the NHL? There must be examples but I don't know of any.
