I really don’t get why, I’d be surprised if he played.

 

[tmurfin]

Odd considering everything that's been said recently.. I thought he was done with us for good?

 

[Master Bill]

Just for an extra body in practice I assume?

Happy for him, I honestly didn't think he'd ever be good enough to make it up here.

 

[FlamerForLife]

The Lomberg recall doesn't make sense considering we already have 1 healthy extra body and are entering a 5 day break after today's game, the only way it would kind of make sense is if there are a couple of players that have a nagging injury and are game-time decisions.

Probably just a bonus for Lomberg. I suspect that he, along with Hrivik and Mangiapane will be back with the Heat on Wednesday to play that night in their lone game this week.

That's what I was thinking, just a nice little bonus for working hard. Iirc Feaster used to utilize that quite a bit during breaks and such.

Can we officially declare Poirrer, Klimchuk and Shrinkaruk bust?

 

[Calculon]

They're all still on their ELC's so no. But they're also all being passed on the depth chart by other prospects which bodes poorly for their future in the organization.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Can we officially declare Poirrer, Klimchuk and Shrinkaruk bust?

Poirier is probably close. I think Klimchuk will play for a long time and it’s probably 50/50 on Shink.

 

[Anglesmith]

I'm happy for Lomberg. I always like him in TC.

 

[JPeeper]

Poirier is probably close. I think Klimchuk will play for a long time and it’s probably 50/50 on Shink.

Shinkaruk and Poirier are busts in my eyes. Klimchuk gets a pass since he's missed so many games since being drafted. Finally put together a good campaign last year and is having a good year this year as well.

Once next year hits and the Flames hopefully cut ties with Curtis "I can't do anything at an NHL level" Lazar, they slide Klimchuk into the 4th line.

 

[CamPopplestone]

Klimchuk if given the chance has a future at least on a fourth line somewhere. Poirier I think is unlikely but could be a 13th/14th at least, and could still improve. I think Shink is done. He's top 6 or bust

I think Lazar is an adequate 4th liner....nothing more though

One of those guys that should always fight for a job...Once he has no energy, he is done

 

[Skobel24]

I really like Lomberg, I think he'll be a 4th liner here in another year or two. He's a very very very poor mans Marchand. Has some offensive abilities, but he's a f***ing asshole to play against.

 

[Skobel24]

Shinkaruk is likely a bust. Poirier I think COULD be a late bloomer if he can work past his recent issues. Klimchuk I have hopes for. I think worst case, he's a 4th line guy, but I doubt he ever becomes more than a defensive bottom 6 winger.

 

[Mr Snrub]

I wager all three of those guys are done. Klimchuk has an outside shot, and I wager a higher ceiling than Shink or Poirier.

Remember when the 2013 draft was supposed to be the best in a decade? Lol. At least we got the best player.

Brian Burke thought we knocked it out of the park.

We traded for Sasha Barkov or Nate MacKinnon?

 

[Mr Snrub]

We traded for Sasha Barkov or Nate MacKinnon?

Okay, MacKinnon's pretty damn good. Barkov and Mony are a toss-up though especially with the way Monahan's elevated his all-around game this year.

Monahan, with his best defensive game of the season; isn't half as good as Barkov is as a complete package. Did you watch the Florida game? Every time he was on the ice, the guy was the most dangerous player.

I missed the Florida game, which is too bad because they're a really entertaining team. Every time I've seen Barkov play though I don't come away thinking that he's objectively better than Monahan. I'd put em roughly level.

Not trying to disparage Barkov's skill. It's more that Monahan is awesome and gets sold short a lot.

Monahan's an elite scorer, Barkov's an elite centre. IMO, he's going to be a top 10 centre in the NHL (if he isn't already) for a long time. Near PPG, elite possession numbers and great two way play.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Barkov is incredible. I’d take him over Mack, who is more flashy. Barkov is one of the best players in the league.

It's really too bad he plays in an NHL wasteland, because the guy's one of the premier young talents in the league.
