Someone with a better memory can fix the lines, though there were plenty of injuries so I'm not sure how many regular lines were even established. Without TDL moves the Flames were looking at something like:
McAmmond(Donovan)-Conroy-Iginla
Gelinas-Reinprecht(Lombardi)-Clark
Saprykin-Yelle-Kobasew
Oliwa-Betts*-Dave Lowry
Josh Green,
*Betts included in trade for Simon
Lombardi and Kobasew were both 21 yo, Saprykin 22; Lowry was 38.
Oliwa still played in 20 of the playoff games, averaging 3:44. Lowry played in 10. Lombardi got injured and missed the last two series, leaving only 2 true centres on the roster.
The alternative to those TDL deals was playing the likes of Lynn Loyns, Martin Sonnenberg, and Jason Morgan.
