He can assure you, though, that his Calgary Flames will not follow the lead of some American Hockey League parent clubs and load up on veteran players for the sake of building a playoff contender.
“The American Hockey League is a developmental hockey league. Very simple,” the Calgary general manager said during a visit to the Quad-Cities last weekend. “The teams that don’t look at it like that might have more older players, but those players aren’t NHL players.”
Emphasizing player development is the Calgary way.
“That’s not the Calgary way — that’s the winning way,” the veteran NHL GM and coach corrected.
