travel_dude Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Huberdeau-Sharangovich-Coronato Pelletier-Kadri-Kuzmenko Hunt on 4th w Duehr and Rooney Backlund line remains together Read this, so It's not my suggestion. I think it's the only way right now. Coronato's game is not yet 200 feet. Play him where he will get O-zone starts. Pelletier there was a bit of a stretch. Kuz playing with Kadri and Pelletier makes some sense. Kadri will feed him or shoot himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 Game more than I thought but I think this is about sending a message. He's just been too reckless out there. going to be interesting if Pospisil can find a more defined role here and avoid the "Ferland" trap. Ferland played reckless, tried to be a scorer and I think lost his game. Pospisil going to need to find a role that works and cage some of that aggressiveness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw the numbers clear for a full 5 meters and still went in full power. These hits need to be 5-games minimum. In regards to Pospisil, I hope he learns from this and tone it down.. Matt Rempe is out there running through the entire NHL but he's 6'-8" 240 lbs. Rempe's body is made for this. Pospisil isn't going last in the NHL if he keeps this up. Ferland didn't last long either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pospisil going to need to find a role that works and cage some of that aggressiveness He kind of modeled him game a bit after Kadri. Pest, throw some big hits, close to the edge some nights. I think he should at least play some games without being dirty and see if he has the scoring to match his edge. Like the first goal he scored was all about speed and skill. The other thing for me is he needs to stay away from fights, so cage it a bit. Don't always be the first guy in a scrum or throw punches in one.

bosn111 Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 So with Hanifin gone, what will the D pairs look like going forward? Weegar Andersson Kylington Pachal Hanley Miromanov or Kylington Weegar Hanley Andersson Gilbert Pachal Not sure the best options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Miromanov, we have a KHL and AHL vet with some NHL experience. Besides that we have Weegar, Andersson and Pachal all being RHS. Have no interest in Oesterle playing for this team now. I would go with Kylington-Weegar (top pair) Hanley-Andersson (best PK and likely top 5 on 5 minutes) Pachal-Miromanov (not sure if this really works. If we can't get Pachal or Miromanov to play LD, then we have to go with: Weegar-Andersson Kylington-Pachal Hanley-Miromanov This may make the most sense anyway. I don't know, it's giving me a headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTech780 Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 Wonder how the d-pairings will shape out once Miromanov arrives. Kylington-Andersson Weegar-Miromanov Hanley-Pachal Pachal has been a really nice pickup, he is steady and gives a nice physical presence to the bottom pairing. I am excited to see what Miromanov can do. Big RHS defenseman with a big shot. He only transitioned to defense in junior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosn111 Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 I think Weegar/Andersson have been good together overall. Pachal and Kylington started making good chemistry so I would guess Hanley with Miromanov, but try Miro on the point for PP with Kylington. Interesting however it works out.

Feels very high risk, high reward Yeah, it will be interesting for sure. I will say Kylington’s game has calmed down a lot since he came back, making much better decisions. I wonder if the Flames have to look at Sharangovich at C long term. He has held his own, he has been an impressive 200 foot player this season.

Gilbert likely not to play much the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that would be a strange twist. He didn't want to be here, COnnie was determined to trade people that didn't want to be here, and BOOM he wants to be here. I think it's a lot more simple, even if I don't agree with it. We signed him like it was day 1 or Free Agency. Have a known 4th line C on the roster for next season. Next season we have a complete roster already signed, with the exception of Kylington, Pelletier and Okhotiuk. 2 RFA and 1 UFA. We also could re-sign Greer. This is a little worrisome, since the GM could look at it and decide it's good enough and we don't look at roster additions or subtractions through trades. The available cap after the limited signings is still around $14M likely, which is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 We will soon have every injured and suspended player back. I'll reserve judgement until I see the lines, but this is the roster for next year. Is this a team that the GM expects to compete for a cup next year or simply the transitional look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would suck. I'm looking forward to the D getting an overhaul. I'm hoping we get more physical on the back end as well as bigger (wingspan). I know Hanifin is 6'3", but he doesn't play any kind of physical at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 It’s pretty interesting that in his first two games as a Flame Miromanov played 18:59 and 20:26 minutes, third in each game behind Andersson and Weegar. Seems he is gaining the trust of Huska. I missed the game against Carolina, but the game in Florida I thought he played well. Seemed to have a good knack for when to jump up and when to stay back, made a few nice passes out of the zone, stayed controlled in the defensive zone. Didn’t really do anything flashy, but played a simple game for the most part. I did like that he seems to have a shooting mentality from the point.

Didn’t really do anything flashy, but played a simple game for the most part. I did like that he seems to have a shooting mentality from the point. He played about 3 minutes on the PP in CAR. Less frustrating watching him as opposed to Ras passing it up high and not shooting. It's going to take a little work to get him to be a good full time NHL player. We have 4 RHS D available and 8D on the NHL roster. Zary and Greer due back sometime soon, with both skating in CGY this weekend. Gilbert is an easy waive. Duehr maybe the most like to be waived as well. Coronato may be a victim, as he was called up for Zary's injury. Currently 13F + Zary + Greer Currently 8D I would prefer to keep Coronato up and maybe create a line with a vet. But Hunt has earned a longer look, even if he has many head shakers moments. With everyone back in this is possible: Huberdeau-Sharky-Pospisil Zary-Kadri-Kuzmenko Mange-Backlund-Coleman Greer-Rooney-Coronato Ex. Pelletier Out - Duehr, Hunt Kylington-Weegar Miramanov-Ras Hanley-Pachal Ex. Okhotiuk Out - Gilbert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 It could just be me, but it looks like Coronato needs to find another step if he wants to be more productive at this level. You can see that he is willing to work for the puck, and thinks the game fairly well, he just looks a step behind. Hopefully he can work on this in the offseason.

I would keep him up to work with him, but that's just me. I don't think it's the right fit having him on the top line. The line got beat down against CAR, as did Backlund's line. Coleman and Hunt the only players to not have a minus after their names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Personally I would send Coronato back to the AHL, now that Pospisil is back from suspension. He isn’t ready, I would have preferred that they called up Schwindt last time instead of Coronato. Leave him there for the remainder of the season and let him dominate, have a good run in the playoffs. Next year I think he makes a strong push to make the roster.
