So far, Ferland just hasn't performed unless he's on the 4th line. Chiasson is just filler at this stage, but Ferland on the 4th line = better for the team. Chiasson won't be a regular forward after the trade deadline.

Who has more playing experience WITH Brodie? Stone or Engelland? Has the obvious gap been a product of lack-of-depth all the way through the bottom three that made it more pragmatic to play Engelland on the third pair rather than with Brodie where he has looked very good in the past?
Again, this decision is not "obvious" because there is multiple factors to consider when adding a new player to the lineup.

Ferland has not looked good on lines above the 4th.

I suspect that Parenteau ends up here after the deadline. If that happens we can expect a lineup like this.
Gaudreau-Monahan-Parenteau
Tkachuk-Backlund-Frolik
Versteeg-Bennett-Brouwer
Ferland-Stajan-Chiasson
Or bring Hathaway back up and put him in Chiasson's spot. Everything you want happens with just one, maybe two moves.

Because your opinion of Ferland abilities is over inflated. Until that changes I predict you will continue to be dumbfounded.

Who did we trade for Parenteau in this scenario? Also Parenteau doesn't seem like much of an upgrade on Brouwer.

Feels like a playoff game tonight. A win and we tie for 1st wildcard and put the pressure on the Kings.
Lose, and we're down 4 on the Preds and have to hope the Kings lose 1 of the next 2 in order to stay above water.

Nah. I don't think Engelland sits behind wideman in TOI because it was more pragmatic to have him on 3rd pair. He has shown to be solid when called upon to play top 4. No doubt. And he looks ok next to Brodie the last couple games. I think it's pretty simple to understand that the team would ideally like DE in the bottom pair IF they could find someone to sit in top 4. So my point was....the obvious choice from the outside looking in is to have stone top 4. I get that an explanation could be that it takes a game or two to loosen up so play him in 5/6. Just to be clear....do you see Engelland with more TOI than Stone...say....5 games from now? Or do you like to nitpick my use of the word "obvious"?

No. I expect and hope that Stone's ice time will increase with each game, and he will enter the playoffs in the top-four. Correcting your imprecise usage of the word "obvious" is not nitpicking.

You are so awesome. I knew you would help out by improving any imprecise usage. How do you find the time? Thanks!

I'd still rather play Ferland on the top line than Chiasson, even if he's not going to be the player we hoped

Looks like #Flames LW Micheal Ferland getting a crack on Calgary's top line tonight with Gaudreau/Monahan.

Chiasson being down on the 4th instantly makes lines 1-3 stronger. Hopefully Ferland has his motor going tonight and makes good on that line.

Ferland needs to simplify his game on the first line. Be physical, go to the net. If he happens to find the puck on his stick, get it to one of the other two guys quickly.
