robrob74 Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 Huberdeau, Lindholm, Coronato Dube, Kadri, Toffoli Pelletier, Backlund, Mangiapane Coleman, Ruzicka, Duehr Schwindt Weegar, Andersson Kylington, Tanev Hanifin/Poirier, Zadorov I want to trade Coleman or/and Hanifin for Cap reasons. Poirier probably needs another full AHL year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt some of their skills tramslate but wondering if Schwindt or more so Pospisil can ever fill the 4th line the way they play? I doubt it. who will we have to rid of to be compliant? Well, one is never sure. Sutter talked about Zary like he was ready but needed more pro time. Not called up at all, so we have unknown prospects. Same for the other guys you mention. We saw DeSimone for a bit, but Gilbert is grittier. We don't have enough cap (at present level) to keep the team together. We have 11F 7D and 2G, and a couple hundred bucks to fil the roster. That's not even re-signing Duhr. Backlund or Hanifin or Tanev or Coleman gets you enough to sign a couple of pieces. Not a better roster. Two of those guys for a C and some cap and maybe equal.

IMO Zary is ready now and should be penciled into the lineup for next year. Schwidnt could surprise for sure. he's had an up and down season but much like Dueher you see some raw skills there that could translate for sure. I think is Pospisil could stay healthy he'd already be given a shot but he just cant' unfortunately stay healthy. I think you also looking at names like Kuznetsov and Soloyvov that could challenge for depth roles on the blueline next year too. There is plenty of talent available you just need a coach wiling to use it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he plays and the role he plays, he really needs to be 210 lbs pure muscle. They seem to never update these player profile pages after draft day.

I’ve seen him and he’s bigger than that IMO. but it doesn’t really matter as until he can stay healthy it’s tough to give him a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanifin and Kadri would have played their last games for me tonight, especially Kadri guy is the biggest POS on this roster right absolute cancer, reminds me of E Kane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebrewcrew Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 I'm not holding my breath, but it would be awesome to see Wolf, Coronato and Zary in game 82 against SJ. Heck, even in game 81 against NSH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's right that we don't give any runway to young players since they had a bad camp. Or don't fit the view of a coach. Scoring in the NHL is tough. Players are not small. Big difference....bla bla bla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get that you want to teach young players how to be consistent. I wonder though, how players like Pelletier or Ruzicka can affect the game when they're staples to h th E bench. 26 points in 28 games or something, the team has a hard time scoring, yet a guy who got you some points gets stapled. I understand he's not effecting the game in other ways, but coach. Play him in positions that allow him to score, where they need the most help. Coach, by matching a best line in a position to score against weak lines, instead of just rolling lines, like offensive zone draws. Get those other lines out accordingly.

Both goaltenders at this point are basically crap, you can expect at least 4 GA at each game until the end of this catastrophic season. I can see the Jets putting the final nail in the coffin tonight in a convincing way. In the meantime, since I live in Chicago, I've gotten to really like P. Kane so I'll be cheering and following the Rangers for the rest of this year. One can only hope for a major cleaning of the front office and coaching staff to somehow start over. Enough said from me, I'm done with this team! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted April 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 Should soon be able to send down the AHL players and Voronato. In game 82, if there is even a slim, next to nothing chance of us getting in, we won't see the kids. WPG has one remaining and NAS has 2 after we play game 82. Conceivably it's a meaningful game. Yeah, right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightly so, but there was time earlier in the season when you benefit the team and the players. I don't buy that we have the best possible roster. Perhaps some of it is loyalty to his guys. Give them the last season to have sometihing to remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otown72 Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 Shouldn't getting in dictate playing your best players? When you have guys who keep getting inserted into the lineup and do not produce. 75 GP and less than 20 pts, 7 goals; 80 GP 20 pts 9 goals. We do not know who are best players are because our coach is reluctant to explore. At this point, I get that Sutter won't do anything. But as a fan, I would love to see some youthful energy these last two games even. I do not know which is less sane, but as is this Flames team gives me little to no hope of going anywhere even if they did sneak in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
