Stempniak - Stajan - Horak/Byron

We should hopefully try to upgrade on the right wing. I don't know if glencross plays on the right side often does he?

A lot can happen at the draft and free agency so this is rather pointless now.
I do expect Cammi to anchor the top line and Sven+Backlund getting good 2nd line minutes throughout the season. Glencross/Tanguay/Hudler/Stajan/Stempniak/whoever will be shuffled around the top 9 and they'll all get a shot at being #1C of course.
On D I hope to see Wotherspoon make the team out of camp.

Keep Glencross/Stajan/Stempniak together, they would make things happen just about every shift.
Go into camp with no more than 18 one way deals. The Flames standard 23-25 one way deals in an excellent way to say to the Abbotsford guys "hey, you don't have the slightest chance".
Send the 6th pick back to junior no matter what.
Cut Smith, Jackman maybe even a few more regulars.
Get a real goalie.

These type of posts really irk me. Ramo hasn't even played an NHL game, yet people are already writing him off.
I started typing out a lineup, then I got annoyed trying to figure out where to put Tanguay. I really hope he gets traded.

He did not impress me at the end of the season. I used to have a good impression of him but right now I feel that it may be in our best interest rid ourselves of his presence to improve the team atmosphere for new/young players. I like Cammy much better.

Tanguay - Backlund - Cammalleri

Glencross - Stajan - Stempniak
Bouma - Reinhart - Jackman/McGrattan/Young Guy
Giordano - Butler
Wideman - Brodie
Cundari - Sarich/Smith
Goal:

First line, Squid is bad at the centre position. He's a better winger. Top line plays small and is small.
That 2nd line is essentially the youth movement & Hudler. It's not good. would prefer someone else play centre and let the Flames pick dominate in their league.
The 3rd line was the Flames' best line last season.
4th line brings size and energy, with the ability to insert mean into the lineup when needed. Aliu was highly disappointing in his last callup and may not return.
On defense, I'd like another bottom four guy or two so neither Sarich or Smith end up as regulars. Cundari, if he can maintain his play, fits in there nicely. Still need one more, but there isn't one in the organization. Wotherspoon or Ramage maybe?
In goal... It's a ****ing soap opera. Does Kipper retire? Does Ramo escape the KHL? Is Berra good enough? Is Ramo? These are the Goalies of our Flames.
Next season is gonna suck.

That was four-five years ago. Does not count. Ramo was also younger then and wasn't experienced enough at that time.

Well he has no more NHL experience now than what he had then. Undoubtedly he is a better goalie now but he is a question mark, as is Berra. So it's understandable for fans to be a little antsy when the two guys supposed to fill Kipper's skates are coming straight out of European leagues. It can work, sure, but it is a gamble. With Kipper we always knew what we got (well, prior to this season anyway) and now all we know for sure is that Joey MacDonald will be an alright backup.
Personally I do believe in those two guys and think Feaster did well in acquiring them, as opposed to "hitting a homerun" for someone like Ryan Miller.
His numbers weren't great but I remember ramo playing for Tampa and always liked him. I am excited to see him play for the flames next season

It's true.
And just watch, we will draft Lindholm and he will develop into a solid #1C... but not Iggy.
Owell.

Owell.
And then the team will spend the next 15 years looking for that elusive, top line right wing sniper but will always, somehow, come up empty handed.

I really like your lineup with the exception of Butler being on the top-pairing. We don't have a lot of options though unfortunately.

Barring any unforeseen luck in the FA pool, or minor miracles via trade..I would agree that this is pretty much what we're dealing with for a lineup.

You could consider Brodie/Wideman to be the top pair, that's what I did and it makes me feel a little bit better, haha.

Glencross / Stajan / Stempniak
Cammalleri / Backlund / Hudler
Baertschi / Horak / ???
??? / Bouma / McGrattan
Wideman / Brodie
Giordano / Sarich
Cundari / Breen
MacDonald
Rammo or Berra
-Tanguay and Butler get traded for futures
-Jackman and Smith cut
- ??? are jobs up for grabs in training camp, NOT free agent signings
- with a 23 man roster that would mean at least 5 open jobs for guys like Hanowski, Reinhart, Street, etc to fight for
- 2nd line looks way to soft and small, but really so do the 1st and 3rd
- send the 6th pick back to junior no matter what
- the only way this team has a hope of competing is to get a world class goalie, lets hope Rammo is the guy but I am very skeptical
- these next few seasons will show us who the real Flames fans are

This lineup will have to get turned around quite a bit.
This is easily bottom 4 in the NHL up and down, and considering every position. Debatable bottom two or even the worst.
I'm truly hoping for true Hockey moves to be made over the summer. One of Tanguay or Cammy has to be shipped along with maybe one of the mid tier kids (Horak, Reinhart, etc outside Sven + this years firsts + Gaudreau) for a major piece on defense. Someone who is a good shot away from being a top four D-man.
The offensive units we will put forward aren't much better. And there needs to be a major RW addition to this team, in the form of either Clarkson or Horton (I'd want Horton, significantly more). Overall, the team looks like it will be contending for a bottom 10 position next year.
I'm hoping Feaster has something planned trade wise to get a major piece into Calgary as a big portion of a rebuild. Honestly, if Berra plays in the NHL next year, and actually proves that he's a high caliber goalie, the Bouwmeester trade will have made him look like a genius.
As of right now, my Flames lineup, no first line. Mostly just like 2a, 2b, 2c. No stars for a first line.
Cammy/Tanguay - Backlund - Hudler (Closest to an actual offensive line)
Sven - 6TH Overall (Barkov, Lindholm or Monahan) - FA pickup (Clarkson or Horton, you have to figure that the role is known here for either player, space and physicality).
Glencross - Stajan - Stemp (Shutdown line, play against top units)
Bouma - Bégin - Big Ern/Kid (depending on team, and yes, I would like Bégin back, he's a warrior).
Brodie - Tanguay/Cammy Trade
Giordano - Wideman
Cundari - FA (Bigger, tougher guy) could also be a drafted D-man spot. I believe the likes of Butler, Smith, Carson, etc, have run their course.
