DSP, Rinaldo, Rieder, Dube, Czarnik and Quine fighting for 4 spots (3 if Tkachuk signs). Why Gillies is still there, I have no idea. I am not mistaken Peters mentioned that it was AMac's spot to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean AMac has it sown up. It may still end up that way, considering that Kyl has a habt of looking great and risky in the same game. He tries a bit too much to mimic Brodie, but we all know that Brodie's bad habits stem from tryng to skate too much without shooting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think they'd wait until Zagidulin gives up a goal that wasn't during practice. lol Rittich and Talbot are going to start eating the icetime, Zag needs playing time. Handing him the A gig, for now, seems like a good idea. I'm interested to see if he gets the Rittich treatment. The cultural divide and language barrier isn't easy on a newcomer. Please god, don't plonk me somewhere in Russia and tell me to figure it out. lol Huge change for Zagidulin, while we're all thinking, "hurry up".

Both are mature, so that might help the transition. Living in Cali will be a culture shock though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With both Russians in Stockton I can see an easier transition for 2 playing the same position and learning the language. "Living in Cali will be a culture shock though" Yup!!

KHL experience being less than NHL, but at least they faced some talent. The culture difference is less than it used to be. And, it's not like they are living in LA.

Top 12 only really missing Tkachuk, and subs in a 13th forward. 6D are every D from last year with Kylington given a chance to show more stability with Ras. Rittich will play 30 minutes or more. Not a fan of Tkachuk on PP1, but he's just there to cover for Matty. At least Brodie is not on the PP2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTech780 Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 I wonder if it is down to a 4th line role or going back to Stockton, that Stockton might be the best bet for Dube, especially if he still has parts of his game that need to be ironed out. Rieder is capable of playing on the 4th line and playing both wings. He also is an effective penalty killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan is also a better playmaker than Jankowski which will help Lucic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only comfort level for Ryan now, but I expect both will have good years after getting some chemistry last year. As for Lucic...yeah. He's ours now... The 4th line looks a little sketch from a "bring intensity" standpoint. Not feeling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving Jankowski could clear some cap space One thing going against both Dube and Kylington from an asset management standpoint is that neither of them requires waivers to go down to Stockton. If neither of them are clearly better than the alternatives they could find themselves down in Stockton which gives Calgary much better depth for injury replacement.

The asset mgmt is always a thing this time of year. I'm torn a bit with Dube. In that he's too good for the A. Anyone know how he did for fitness? He came to camp with lots of intensity but he's been looking tired and sluggish recently. Perhaps that's the increase in skill now in competition?

Why pit the scores of the kids against 10 year pro athletes that know the test inside out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
