GDT: #81 Canucks @ Flames

[DFF]

Stajan had a great night

Show up when it really counts every year...Love him

 

[Volica]

Flames already have a great group of young guys, Hamilton has looked so good the past few months, a top 10 pick is just what the Flames need, the Flames aren't Toronto or Vancouver bad. They just need to get a fricken goalie

A top three pick and a UFA signing is what they need up front; along with a reasonable goalie. So much offensive numbers this year.

I appreciate dummying the Canucks. Always do.

The one thing. About this draft stuff. The top three will likely be NHL ready next season; that'll help out the offence more next season. I would like Nylander with our pick; but he's not ready for next year, likely.

 

[Lunatik]

I wonder if Hartley is considering using Stajan as a winger next season

Didn't he do exactly that in game 6 vs the Canucks last year?

 

[DFF]

Sure

Sorry I was hoping too much for that 3M+ he is collecting.

Hopefully, I prefer grant as 4 C. Also wouldn't mind seeing Grant as a top 9 W

I think it opens up a few things, Stajan could slide in for Fro with Colborne & Backlund, this would allow Fro to play with Bennett and Grant could slot between Bouma & Ferland

Gaudreau - Monahan - _______
_______ - Bennett - Frolik
Colborne - Backlund - Stajan
Bouma - _______ - Ferland

I honestly think any of the top 5 wingers in this draft would have a chance to play on the team next season

 

[MonaHan Solo]

I don't think it's a coincidence anymore.

Any 4th liner that gets put on a line with Backlund for a period of time will have a career year.

Yup Jackman, TKO, Bouma and Colborne

 

[Kranix]

Vancouver is horrible.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

Yup Jackman, TKO, Bouma and Colborne

David Jones also had a 16 goal season. While that wasn't a career year for Jones (he had some years on Paul Stastny's line, who's basically rich man's Backlund)

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Mikael Backlund.

Personally I think it's time to move on from Stajan. I love him, but I think we have plenty of guys who can fill his roles on and off the ice. Also mark my words Elson and Arnold will both be NHLers next year.

Mark your words eh? How often have you watched them play? Neither are NHL ready.

 

[Kranix]

I don't think any of the hot play from the 3-4th liners, or these meaningless wins, will roll into next season.

 

[Rangediddy]

I don't think any of the hot play from the 3-4th liners, or these meaningless wins, will roll into next season.

Except for Backlund and Colborne. I think both of them are learning how to play the role expected of them. Middle 6 guys with special team minutes.

More important for Backlund is learning how to stay healthy.

They'll be plan c injury call-ups maybe.

 

[AgeOfBennett]

I think Grant And shink are way more NHL ready than Arnold and Elson

 

[Volica]

I think Grant And shink are way more NHL ready than Arnold and Elson

I'd like Grant on the fourth line next year; and Shink with Bennett.

 

[thebigbea]

Vancouver is horrible.

yup been like that the whole season.. cant believe they just swept the 3 California team.. love the tanking mode in vancouver

 

[Calgareee]

Over on their board they full on cheer for losses and goals against. Personally not a fan of that. I still cheer to win (especially against edmonton or Vancouver) but when we lose its just something to ease the pain.

 

[AvsRobin]

Not sure if you know this is or not. But a swedish source claim that Kylington will play for you againt Minnesota.

 

[Calculon]

It's possible.

Would make the game an absolute must watch if Kylington plays.
