Ferland only missed a game, with the flu or something, right?
I hope they don't call anyone up. Feel like the revolving door in the bottom six as to who's playing and on what line is a big part of our lack of depth scoring. Put Hathaway back with Bennett and Janks and keep him there. Let guys develop chemistry, now's the time for Glen to find his lines and stick to them heading into the playoffs.
Hathaway wasn't working anymore though. His first 10 games went well, then they all went cold. He shouldn't be used outside of the 4th line.
I'd still like to see if Versteeg can mesh with them now that Bennett is on the wing. He could be what the Flames are missing.
I also still think Stempniak could be a very cheap and very effective guy to pick up. Could mesh with any of the bottom 9 lines.
- Slot him with Backlund and Tkachuk, move Frolik to the 3rd line.
- Slot him on the 3rd line and move Versteeg to the 4th line when healthy.
- Slot him on the 4th line with Stajan where they've had chemistry before.
