Flames coach Darryl Sutter on prospects: ‘big difference’ between NHL and AHL

It’s no big secret that the Calgary Flames haven’t gotten a ton of secondary scoring. Sure, their top offensive players have been top offensive players, but the gentlemen on their bottom two forward lines haven’t done a ton of scoring.

After Tuesday’s practice, Postmedia’ Kristen Anderson asked Flames bench boss Darryl Sutter his perspective on bringing the top-scorers from the American Hockey League’s Stockton Heat – such as Jakob Pelletier – to bring in secondary scoring.

The short answer is Sutter doesn’t seem keen on it because he thinks young players should be developing and experiencing success in the AHL.
