Overall, Flames played great aside from a couple awful stretches. Valimaki and Andersson both had a few great moments but overall didn't play great as a pair.
Jankowski has been a huge disappointment so far this preseason. At this point, I'd honestly have Dube and Mangiapane on the roster over Janko and Hathaway.
Mangiapane has been so consistent every single game. No doubt he's NHL ready.
Right now, my forward lines would be:
Gaudreau-Monahan-Lindholm
Tkachuk-Backlund-Neal
Bennett-Dube-Czarnik
Mangiapane-Ryan-Frolik
Jankowski has been a big disappointment for me. Even the last half of last season he was playing poorly.
