He's not ready for the NHL, and might never be. Put him on waivers, try to send him down. If he gets claimed, oh well. (I really don't think he will).
It does beg the question of who we can call up to fill those minutes. I'm not sure how much longer Wideman is out, but we can't rotate 5 defensemen forever. Time to bring Smith back up?
Edit: Just remembered Smith was already recalled. I'm tired, leave me alone  |
Smith would be way better than Breen i don't know why flames management thinks he would get claimed he has shown nothing so far the only thing he has is size. His giveaway to Smyth this game was not even a junior calibre play hold onto it for a few seconds and give yourself an opening. There is no way he will develop into an nhl player not playing any games the whole year get rid of him and get someone who can play more than 5 minutes a game Breen and O'Brien as a pairing is a joke you would only play those guys together if your intentionally tanking.
