Just saying in regards to NJD's you need to trade very good prospects (when you have an abundance) to get players that can push your team forward. Like the Hull trade we lost but Ramage was a beast his 2nd playoff year and was an important factor in the SC win.
I'm hoping the Hannifin decision was completed this weekend. He stays or he accepts a trade. I'm hoping he waives for Detroit and they sit him out the Feb 17th game in Calgary. But then 8 years at 7.5 m wouldn't be the worst scenario unless he is given a NMC.
exactly.
Right now we don't know if Sharky can become a 1 C. But we need to explore that possibility. I feel Kadri is where he needs to be. 2nd line center with a line of young hard workers.
Lindholm wasn't a 1 C when we traded for him but we made him one. Who's to say we don't already have a 1 C in our lineup just waiting to be elevated. Now is the time to explore options.
Welcome !! Having watched quite a few Van games I have concluded that when Kuz is focussed and on his game he is a Force. Exactly what the Flames need. Hopefully he stays motivated and if so will quickly become a fan favorite.
Huberdeau-Sharangovich-Kuzmenko
Zary-Kadri-Pospisil
Mangiapane-Backlund-Coleman
Rooney/Pelletier-Schwindt-Duehr

Just saw this!! excited to see how it plays out.
This is a line I would like to see
Prospisil played so well with Kadri and Zary I would stick with that line .
Maybe even consider Pelletier instead of Zary but again hate to break up what works.
