Gio-Hamilton are in the same group, Brodie-Hamonic are in the same group & Stone-Kulak are in the same group.

 

[Club]

Hoping to see Porier have an impact

 

[iginlafan77]

Gio-Hamilton are in the same group, Brodie-Hamonic are in the same group & Stone-Kulak are in the same group.

Also, Tkachuk-Backlund-Frolik and Gaudreau-Monahan-Ferland are in groups together.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

How can they justify playing Stajan over Jankowski? I'm against younger guys playing on the fourth line but he's been the focal point of his team for a long time. He needs to play in the NHL.

Part of me thinks Bennett-Jankowski-Versteeg would be a scary good third line that would turn us into a very good team.

I think Kulak Stone will be a great third pair. Shut down the cycle. Move the puck. Check and check.

 

[Skobel24]

As others have said, the speculated pairings are all together. What I do find interesting is who is on Bennetts team. Specifically, no Brouwer. Lazar, Foo, Shinkaruk and Versteeg are.

I kind of hope Cramarossa gets a contract.

I'm also really happy to see Colby Robak here again. I hope the Flames keep him for the AHL. (He's from the same town as me!)

 

[1989]

Isn't it usually only 2 teams in camp, even from the beginning? Don't recall too well but three seems a little different than most years.

 

[Calgareee]

Gio-Hamilton are in the same group, Brodie-Hamonic are in the same group & Stone-Kulak are in the same group.

Valimaki and Andersson also in that group

 

[Kipper933]

A couple more invites I hadn't previously seen. Robak, Rod Pelley, Dylan Olsen, and 6'7 Oleg Yevenko.

 

[Flameshomer]

Valimaki and Andersson also in that group

Still think we should move Bennett to a wing to let Jankowski on the team. That or jettison stajan into the sun. What an awful contract.

I think we should see how Bennett does. Play Janko at 4th line center. If it doesn't work then put Bennett-Janko-Versteeg as the third line.

 

[FlamerForLife]

For those wondering, Frolik was playing RW with Klimchuk & Hrvik

 

[FlamerForLife]

Also, Wotherspoon was given #4 since Stone took #26 last season.

 

[Calgareee]

Heard that Pribyl went own with a knee injury. Poor guy can't catch a break.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

For those wondering, Frolik was playing RW with Klimchuk & Hrvik

I like all those lines, even though I suspect Stajan takes Mangiapane and we KNOW Frolik will be back on the godmode line.

According to Gulutzan, #Flames RW Troy Brouwer is seven or eight pounds lighter than last season. "He is in fantastic condition."

I cant embed the tweet right now but you're right, Steinberg asked gulutzan and he said frolik will start there and they're just putting young guys with experienced players as a test for the young guys

I really want to see him get a chance with Bennett again. If he can increase his speed a bit, they'd be such a good fit together.

 

[JPeeper]

Insert any number of "Nooooooooo" gifs here.

Brouwer is a possession black hole, isn't getting faster at 30+ years old, and isn't that great on the cycle. They are a terrible fit.

I'm glad Brouwer came to camp in better shape, but he should be no where near any of our star players.

Foo is a good fit for Bennett, has speed which Bennett loves to utilize and can finish.

It is just practices right now so it matters little for grouping, but I hope Gulutzan goes back to Tkachuk with Bennett like he did last pre-season. If anyone needs to be a pair, it's those two.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

I really want to see him get a chance with Bennett again. If he can increase his speed a bit, they'd be such a good fit together.

He was a top nine forward on a really good team not long ago. It wouldn't be the first time a player bounced back after a bad first FA season (ie Hudler)

Agreed.

Are cameras allowed at practice?

 

[Skobel24]

Are cameras allowed at practice?

No. Only the players that the Flames invite can participate. Cameras are not allowed to try out for the team.

 

[Anglesmith]

No. Only the players that the Flames invite can participate. Cameras are not allowed to try out for the team.

I identify as a Nikon D-SLR and this offends me.

 

[Rubi]

Camera doesn't want to participate in the practice. Just wants to watch and shoot.
