Thebrewcrew Posted September 18, 2022 Report Share Posted September 18, 2022 It's that time of year. Tons of questions at camp this year. Which line does Huberdeau play on? What about Kadri? D pairings? Weegar on the left or right? How does the logjam on D shake-out? Do any young players crack the roster? Gut feel here, but I think Schwindt may be the most likely to make it out of camp. I also wonder about Ruzicka. The C position looks to be full. He now requires waivers and at close to league min, I could see him being claimed. Does he end up playing on the wing?

He now requires waivers and at close to league min, I could see him being claimed. Does he end up playing on the wing? I think there is a plan for Ruzicka. Sutter thinks he is ready, but needs to show other things. His defensive game and ability to play the wing. And faceoff %. Saying that, I'm not sure what the plan is for the roster. Too many D, not enough RW.. Top 6 right now includes Hubie, Lindy, Toffoli, Mangiapane, Kadri. Options for 3rd line include Backlund, Coleman, Dube, Ruzicka, Pelletier. Coleman and Dube can play RW. Ruzie and Pelletier could possibly take a spot. They have some work to do to make that spot. Ruzie and Pelletier could really benefit from Backlund bump. But I think Pelletier is a long shot right now. Has to have a killer rcamp. The D will get different looks. Right now, I think they can run Weegar as the top pairing with Ras. I don't think it matters as much who plays with Tanev - Hanifin or Kylington fit like a glove. The minutes will work themselves out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebrewcrew Posted September 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2022 It's going to be a very competitive camp. There's 15 NHL forwards at camp. Not to mention the Pelletier/Duehr/Schwindt's of the world. There's also 10 D that can play NHL minutes. Out of the PTO's I think Milano and Stone will get deals. I don't see it being in the cards for Eakin. That could change if there are injuries, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a monster. RHS RW who knows his role. We don't need Ritchie back. Schwindt should get a good look too. RHS C... Sutter likes that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketdoctor Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 I found Tre's statement on Kylington a bit concerning in the way he went out of his way to state it's not a substance abuse thing. Found that very strange. Whatever the issue get back soon Kylington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just found it strange he specifically mentioned substance abuse rather than just say it's 'a personal issue and give hime space' Unless something was already in the rumour mill that Tre found it necessary to make that particular statement. Was just a weird way of putting imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 First looks at lines/pairings according to Ryan Leslie. Nothing terribly surprising here IMO as we should keep in mind Eakin and Meloche are very likely placeholders for Mangiapane and Kylington who are not skating. Looks like Milano is going to get a real shot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 Interesting to see Pospisil with the big group. I think he gets overlooked as a prospect. He might not ever be a top 6 forward, but he plays with an edge and has enough skill that he isn’t a black hole offensively. He can also play all 3 forward positions. He will be with the Wranglers, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he got into a few games this year with the Flames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 Also if you are looking at Mangiapane replacing Eakin and Kylington replacing Meloche, then this lineup looks pretty good to me. Those are the pairs I would go with. I think Weegar will really take off playing for Sutter and having the stability of Tanev. He already was a top 20 defenseman coming into the season, but I think he will take another step this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably try out Weegar with Hanifin and Andersson at some point. But I do like the idea of trying Milano with Kadri. It makes sense, since we kinda need someone not on the roster to push into the top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 Didn't hear this but it was mentioned on twitter... In case you were curious, apparently during an interview with Sportsnet 960 yesterday, Treliving mentioned that Valimaki, Ruzicka, Toffoli, and Coleman came in "phenomenal condition."

JTech780 Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 It really seems like Kadri is a guy who isn’t happy to just sit back now that he has a Cup ring, he seems super focused and determined. I would have to think that he is going to bring some of that famous MacKinnon determination that he picked up in Colorado to Calgary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing with Zegras has given him a hot dog label to some. That wont fly under Sutter or in the locker room so lets see how he adapts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had he played a full season with Zegras this season, then I think he would've posted 20-G and maybe 60-points. It's decent. So I'm intrigued just how bad is he defensively that ANA would kick him to the curb so quickly after he developed chemistry with Zegras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
