Last night was frustrating... Haven't seen us look this bad in a while and personally feel like losing Hathaway has been a bigger loss than some might think, we are missing the charge that he was putting into games early on. When he's back I'd like to see a few things happen with the line-up, most notably the demotion of Chiasson to the fourth line/13th forward spot and I also want to see Bennett slide to the right wing on the top line to allow us to bring up Jankowski.
Something like:
Gaudreau - Monahan - Bennett
Tkachuk - Backlund - Frolik
Versteeg - Jankowski - Brouwer
Ferland - Stajan - Hathaway
Chiasson, Bouma
Hamilton - waivers
Also thinking as crazy as it may sound that exposing Giordano to Las Vegas might be a smart option for this club allowing us to take his money and throw it at a legitimate starter like Bishop going into next year. I dig Gio, think he's been an awesome captain and an awesome Flame but I can't help but think his contract is going to look worse year after year and with the likes of Hickey, Kylington, Kulak, Andersson, Fox ect. A move like this is easier to make.

Just 1 thing about exposing Gio to the expansion draft. If he gets exposed and isnt taken what then? Im betting we have one pissed off captian at his lowest possible trade value.
