Speculation: Rumours, Speculation, and Armchair GM talk - XIV

[joeyabs]

I hope Treliving is talking to TMurray. Lehner has been Stank and Murray seems really erratic.

 

[Lunatik]

Ramo for Eichel and Reinhart

 

[Mobiandi]

And a second

 

[1989]

And Eichel and Reinhart are 50% retained on their contracts.

 

[joeyabs]

Lashoff is on waivers...

 

[Rangediddy]

So with Byron & MayRay on waivers and Granlund assigned to Stockton, here's what I have for our opening day roster:

Gaudreau - Monahan - Hudler
Bouma - Backlund - Frolik
Ferland - Bennett - Jooris
Bollig - Stajan - Jones

Giordano - Hamilton
Russell - Wideman
Englelland - Wotherspoon
Kulak

Ramo
Hiller
(Ortio)

Can we have another forward to get to the 23 man roster limit or do Brodie and/or Colborne still count towards that?

Wotherspoon is in Stockton. Injured players do not count against the roster limit. Pretty sure the Flames will keep one of Raymond or Byron with the big club.

You got that right:



But got this kinda wrong:

Oh I missed him being sent down. That makes more sense.

I would imagine Byron stays.

 

[Anglesmith]

I would have to think he's above Raymond in the pecking order. They could both stay to start the season, though, realistically.

Where does Joe Colborne fit into the lineup now that MayRay, Byron and Granlund have been moved off the main roster?

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

He was already on the roster regardless of those 3 guys, but probably 3rd line.

Roster could look different when Colborne's ready to return from the IR. Who knows what will happen?

That LW depth is absolutely horrendous. lol. Three spots assigned to bottom six players, including a rookie and a guy who shouldn't even be taking a regular shift in the NHL.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

Mason Raymond to PHI for Luke Schenn?

 

[GAMO1992]

Mason Raymond to PHI for Luke Schenn?

NO, GOD NO . gif.
He's a pylon.

 

[Calculon]

Mason Raymond to PHI for Luke Schenn?

Easily done by the Flames. Flyers probably say no.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Yep. Left wing depth is pretty bad. Too bad Sven wasn't waived.

 

[Flameshomer]

I agree that we definitely have some pretty bad LW depth after Johnny, but I think the bolded is incorrect. You are either talking about Bouma or Bollig with the bolded. Bouma looked great last year. Bollig has won a cup with Chicago, and come into camp following a very strong playoffs leaner and more fit than he's ever been. I think he's had a great preseason.

So... I don't really understand your derision. [mod]

 

[Anglesmith]

Honestly, there isn't really a single thing Bollig could have done differently this camp to change people's minds. People just don't like changing their minds.

Personally, at the start of camp I thought Bollig was going to end up being the casualty of competition, and playing in Stockton. He's definitely earned his spot in the opening night.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Stajan looked liked Gretzky that night and Bollig was the benefactor. Still impressive though.

I would say Bollig was more the beneficiary. Stajan was the benefactor.

But it was more than one game for Bollig. He followed that up by being one of our best forwards against Winnipeg, too.

Waynin' Stajan?

Nothing imminent on the goaltending front according to Treliving:

Flames general manager Brad Treliving was asked to evaluate the pulse of current market for goalies in the NHL.

“With goalies, you never know,” he said. “There’s only two goalies on a team, so there’s not a lot of jobs. Right now, there’s not an outcry from anyone that needs one. There’s all kinds of factors … but there’s not a shortage of goaltenders, that’s for sure.

Flames notes: Crowded crease remains as Ramo draws opening-night start

 

[Flamesarmstrong22]

I think the flames should put in a claim for Panik to replace Byron. Panik has higher potential IMO then Panik and has enough skill to play in the top 6 if needed
