Confirmed with Link: Calle Jarnkrok to Flames for draft pick

[IGGY2JOHNNY]

The lines I’m hoping to see in Buffalo Friday are:
Gaudreau-Lindholm-Tkachuk
Coleman-Backlund-Jarnkrok
Mangiapane-Dube-Toffoli
Lucic-Monohan-Lewis

Bottom line will still get manhandled.

 

[HighLifeMan]

Players like Chiarot and Foligno have gone for 1st’s within a year and you guys are complaining about a late 2nd and 3rd for the ideal fit for this roster. Great deal.


Gaudreau-Lindholm-Tkachuk
Coleman-Backlund-Toffoli
Mangiapane-Monahan-Jarnkrok
Lucic-Dube-Lewis

 

[Volica]

Johnny - Lindholm - Tkachuk
Elite first line.

Mangiapane - Jarnkrok - Toffoli
That’s a high end second line.

Coleman - Backlund - Lewis
The Gourde line from last year.

Lucic - Ruzicka/Monahan - Dube
Prefer Ruzicka, but Lucic/Doobs have chemistry for some reason.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Gävle Flames

 

[TheHudlinator]

Holy shit, let's go, we are all in on this year

It’s the retention that we have to pay extra. The Flames have no business getting a player like him with their cap space….

 

[Volica]

Great watching the third line suck. Wonder what the constant is.

 

[TheHudlinator]

My ideal lineup

Top line
Mangiapane - Ruzicka - Toffoli
Coleman - Backlund - Jarnkrok
Lucic/Lewis - Monahan - Dube

 

[Volica]

Delete!

 

[Mobiandi]

I can't remember our forward group ever being this deep. I think we'll re-sign Calle, too

 

[Fig]

Will he wear 92?

[JurassicTunga]

Great depth move. Jarnkrok was one of the players I was hoping we'd get at the TDL.

Swedish mafia gets stronger!

[Anglesmith]

Darryl Sutter scowls and reminds Calle that it's only fun if they win in the playoffs.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Almost sounds like he wants to be here and will get a new contact

I'm not sure I see the sense in Jarnkrok at centre. Hasn't consistently played there in a long while and his success with Seattle has come at right wing IIRC. Let's just say the ideal top 9 has been the lineup used w/ Ruzicka in between Mangiapane and Toffoli. There is only one real obvious hole in that top 9 and it can be plugged like:

Gaudreau - Lindholm - Tkachuk
Mangiapane - Ruzicka - Toffoli
Coleman - Backlund - Jarnkrok

And then the 4th line is swap-in city. Put Richardson in waivers ASAP, or at the very least get him back up following the deadline if a centre to displace Monahan from the 2nd line isn't snagged. But for the 4th line, you can play Monahan or Dube at centre (please Dube), then Lucic, Monahan, Ritchie, and Lewis can cycle in based on who's hot.

I think Lewis utility is greatly diminished with the addition of Jarnkrok. The PK groups can be: Backlund - Lindholm, Coleman - Jarnkrok, Mangiapane - Toffoli, and Dube as a spare. Whereas Ritchie has been alright on the 4th line and has been marred by a lack of scoring. I think he provides more than Lewis right now, for his role, given what Jarnkrok brings. Either way there are opportunities to work people in when tired and keep it as an energy 4th line.

Ruzicka was sent down, so it won't be like this. What is funny is that I thought Monahan has shown flashes at times this year, but the offense flair is so gone that I doubt they are giving him any rope.

Gaudreau-Lindholm-Tkachuk
Coleman-Backlund-Lewis
Mangiapane-Jarnkrok-Tofolli
Lucic-Monahan-Dube

or

Gaudreau-Lindholm-Tkachuk
Coleman-Backlund-Jarnkrok
Mangiapane-Monahan-Tofolli
Lucic-Monahan-Dube/Lewis (sadly probably the latter)

What is sad is that if Monahan was even 2/3 of the player he was 3 years ago, this is probably the best top 9 in the NHL.

 

[Rubi]

I'll be very disappointed if Ruzicka loses his spot in the lineup.

 

[Khrox]

I'm not sure what to do with this information, but I absolutely love it

 

[Ace Rimmer]

You know it’s a good move when a Calgary Flames legend like Eddie Lack is commenting.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Ruzicka will be back up sooner than later. Treliving will add a defenseman and will need to clear cap to do so.

Hahahahahaha!!!! At least the guy has humility.

 

[Khrox]

Hahahahahaha!!!! At least the guy has humility.

He always seemed like a good guy. Likeable, and well spoken. Shame about his stats, because I remember back when he was a Canucks prospect, watching him absolutely stone the Flames prospects every time they played. Was hoping to see some of that
