Is this finally the season Cale Makar stops improving or has he glitched the matrix?

With "friend" you mean Zad, right?
Because all the other names on the Flames roster sound unfamiliar to me ...

My bet is they spread things out.
Mostly because they don't have anybody capable of truly driving play on the 2nd line if Landy/Mack/Mikko all play together. Nuke/Lehky are solid complimentary guys but aren't really the sort of create offense by themselves.
My fully healthy(Which we probably never see) lineup would be:
Landy - Mack - Nuke
Lehky - Newhook - Mikko
JTC - Meyers - ERod
LOC - Helm - Cogliano
Sedlak/Blidh

In other Landy news, even heterosexual men can agree that he is still a handsome man.

If Lehk works on the top line I think Landy next to Hook would be a pretty good idea personally.

Fully healthy (does that ever happen?) I’d go:
Nuke-Mack-Rants
Lando-Hook-Lehk
Meyers-Erod-JTC
Cogs-Helm-LOC
Nuke-Mack-Rants
Lando-Hook-Lehk
Meyers-Erod-JTC
Cogs-Helm-LOC
Not a lot of talk about how Team Male Model took a bit of a hit the last few years. The new addtions aren't exactly magazine cover-worthy. That's concerning, way more than their actual hockey ability.

So, no Landeskog, or Helm to start the year. I assume this is what the roster will be?
Lehkonen - MacKinnon - Moose
Nichushkin - Newhook - E-Rod
Meyers - Compher - LOC
Cogs - Sedlak - Blidh
Toews - Makar
Byram - Manson
Girard - Johnson
George

Not ideal without Landy, but I’m still horny for that defence.
I’d be tempted to swap Lehkonen and Rodrigues to give Newhook the better winger, but JB likes loading up the top-line, so I doubt he’ll do it.

Maybe. I just thought Landy/Nuke flanking Mackinnon was really good in the playoffs for us.
Newhook gets an elite playdriver in Mikko and a top tier forechecker in Lehky.
Landy - Newhook - Nuke could also be a great line as well.

That's the 2nd line that Bednar said he originally wanted.
Lehkonen - Mack - Rants
Landy - Newhook - Nuke
Thats Bednar's prefered top 6
