More icetime for Hathaway! Love it.

Do you know how long it took me to come up with this user name?

About time. Lots of potential but he wasn't ready to be a consistent threat.

Hopefully this means Czarnik can stay in the lineup for a while and get his confidence back. He started the season strong but took a step back after all the health scratchings.

Good, let him thrive in the A and then bring him up when he has some confidence.

Dube needs ice time to refine his game. This is the best move for Dube and the Flames moving forward. When Dube gets called up later this season he will be able to crack the second PP unit and contribute more consistently.

It was time. He wasn't out of place, but if we want him to become a consistent top 9 guy, getting top line minutes in the AHL is the way to do it.

I like this. It shouldn't be seen as a demotion, but a chance to build on what he's learned in the big club for his future development. The grind of a full NHL season can be lot to take in for a young player.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Makes sense. I thought he played pretty well for a smaller kid right out of junior. Had a lot of chances. Definitely some things he could work on refining.

Lots of things to like about this player, think we'll see him again maybe even this season.

 

[Nanuuk]

A good move. Play him big minutes down there, maybe even at C, and let him put his short experience in the show to good use. Expand his development with half a season or so and then bring him back in the new year so he can play 3rd line minutes.

You know I don’t really like this and I was one of the guys calling for it earlier. He’s started to get a few points recently, probably on pace for about 20, in a 4th line role....can’t ask for much more than that. Mind you, I see him as a great 3C some day. Seems like a fairly easily attainable goal to work up to. Obviously management sees more potential in him, which is a good thing, otherwise it doesn’t make to develop at a lower level when you’re already having success.

Dube is going to score 8 playoff goals for the Calgary Flames in 2019.
