Wolf also back down Even if they trade Markstrom to the Devils, I would assume that a goalie is coming back the other way. Vanecek makes the most sense for NJ, and quite honestly it probably makes the most sense for Calgary as well. So they had to make room on the roster either way.

Actually I just remembers Wolf was on an emergency recall. so with Vladar coming off IR he has to go down. Still think your point it valid though.

I was a little miffed that they put Wolf in front of the camera post game. He was visibly shaken and basically said that he can't do certain thing in the NHL. Regardless of the emergency recall and subsequent sending down once Vladar came back, Wolf comes off a bad game and gets sent down. If we are trading Marky, then yes we need a goalie back. We have to be careful with Wolf. Winning is not the only thing when you are below the playoff cut line. You have to continue development. Maybe get him a string of games and live with the results. We will never know otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed Vanecek makes the most sense coming back. Helps NJD cap wise next year and saves us the hassle of signing a veteran punching bag this summer. Vanecek has started experience to share with Wolf as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a bit of an off season. Young and a Czech. Fit in with Vladar. Pick the better of the 2 and run Wolf the end of the season and next year. If you do it now, you may be able to trade Vladar or Vanacek by TDL. Or in the summer when teams are looking to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No NHL goalie can look good with just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanev is getting a bit old for the team at this stage. You want a re-tool or rebuild, you need to burn it out. There are a couple of guys that have said there are players that just don't do what needs to be done. I think we have to root out the old culture guys. Can't say who still fits that, but we only have 4 guys in the top 9 that we had last year. The D has 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some might even ask for trades, not because they don't like Calgary, but because they want to be competitive and not play out a retool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They signed the long term deals. They’re staying. The Flames are still going to need NHL players and they’re going to need to reach the cap floor. Andersson is probably in that mix, for the next season or so. Those guys have term, which right now is meaningful in terms of roster construction.

cross16 Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Cue the rumor mill…. mostly kidding. Vladar has been decent against the oilers so I actually think this is just getting him a start. Kuzmenko not there is more surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_dude Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 Zary now day to day, so Coronato recalled. Good time as any to try out Kuz with Kandri or use him with Huberdeau again. Might want to hold off using Coronato in the top 6 to help him gain some confidence. But, FFS enough with the Hunt experiment. He does what is asked, but really is at best a 12th F. The two possible lineups I would like to see: Huberdeau-Sharky-Kuzmenko Pelletier-Kadri-Pospisil Mange-Backlund-Coleman Hunt-Rooney-Coronato Huberdeau-Sharky-Pelletier Pospisil-Kadri-Kuzmenko Mange-Backlund-Coleman Hunt-Rooney-Coronato If Coronato can hold his own, then you swap him with Pelletier.

I think Hunt as been very solid since they've recalled him. He's outplayed Kuzmenko. Really wish the Flames would just keep Coronato down in the A.

Otown72 Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 Where things are right now I just would rather watch the players that are part of the near future. Coronato may not be 'ready' but still would rather see him play than say a guy like Hunt. The team is going to play to win because they are still 'in the playoff picture'. I do not see it that way. After Hanafin is gone at least. I still want to see them win and compete, just realism says it would be better if the flames fell a few notches in the standings. Not tank of course. Looking forward to seeing Porier perhaps in a few weeks and maybe more games for Wolf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not in the room or at practice, so I can't comment on how the young guys play vs the vets, but it seems that if there is guy sitting out, it's the young call up. Duehr hasn't been that good this year, but Rooney has done what he was advertized to do. He kills penalties, he checks, he hits. He sometimes gets good chances. Hunt has taken the reins from Dube as the guy trusted by the coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 No surprise. I think he is going to get a couple games. not based on this hit but based on his overall approach. He's gotten too reckless out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gotten too reckless out there Huska said he needs to learn to play within the rules better, but not contain his edge. Pospisil doesn't want to fight, but he better get ready if he plays over the edge too often. You can be on the edge without going over it. Costly lesson if he gets 5 games.

sak22 Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 I'm thinking 2 but think it should be 4. There are times he's been borderline and times he got a raw deal (Marchand), but last night was just dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420since1974 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 It could be as little as a $5k fine, but probably not over a two game suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
