Probably just a bonus for Lomberg. I suspect that he, along with Hrivik and Mangiapane will be back with the Heat on Wednesday to play that night in their lone game this week.The Lomberg recall doesn't make sense considering we already have 1 healthy extra body and are entering a 5 day break after today's game, the only way it would kind of make sense is if there are a couple of players that have a nagging injury and are game-time decisions.

Can we officially declare Poirrer, Klimchuk and Shrinkaruk bust?
Poirier is probably close. I think Klimchuk will play for a long time and it’s probably 50/50 on Shink.
Shinkaruk and Poirier are busts in my eyes. Klimchuk gets a pass since he's missed so many games since being drafted. Finally put together a good campaign last year and is having a good year this year as well.
Once next year hits and the Flames hopefully cut ties with Curtis "I can't do anything at an NHL level" Lazar, they slide Klimchuk into the 4th line.
Brian Burke thought we knocked it out of the park.I wager all three of those guys are done. Klimchuk has an outside shot, and I wager a higher ceiling than Shink or Poirier.
Remember when the 2013 draft was supposed to be the best in a decade? Lol. At least we got the best player.

We traded for Sasha Barkov or Nate MacKinnon?
Okay, MacKinnon's pretty damn good. Barkov and Mony are a toss-up though especially with the way Monahan's elevated his all-around game this year.
Monahan, with his best defensive game of the season; isn't half as good as Barkov is as a complete package. Did you watch the Florida game? Every time he was on the ice, the guy was the most dangerous player.
I missed the Florida game, which is too bad because they're a really entertaining team. Every time I've seen Barkov play though I don't come away thinking that he's objectively better than Monahan. I'd put em roughly level.
Not trying to disparage Barkov's skill. It's more that Monahan is awesome and gets sold short a lot.
Barkov is incredible. I’d take him over Mack, who is more flashy. Barkov is one of the best players in the league.
