Was watching casually while I did other things.

From what I saw the Hutson/Howard/Samanski line dominated the Flames rookies while all three of our goalies put in great performances (one period each).

I wasn't paying that close attention, but for a rebuilding team, the Flames prospects sure didn't look too hot.


I feel like this Hutson kid is gonna end up as a pretty good 2nd liner minimum for some other team if he doesn't eventually get a decent shot here. Any time I manage to see him, he has that confidence with the puck that his brother has. Not as elite of course, but feel like there really is something there that is just waiting to finally show itself at the NHL level.

Guess we have him as RFA for 2 more years after this, but if he keeps getting no good chances this year, maybe we just toss him off as part of a deal or he asks to be moved.
