Done for the night, but I'll leave on a positive note.
Valimaki is going to be great for the Flames.
Andersson is still a great physical defenseman.
Nesterov can stay too, he plays smart at both ends considering he's on the 3rd pair.
Lucic is a solid 3rd line player (and James Neal was put on waivers).
Gaudreau, while snake bitten tonight, seems like he gives a damn this season.
Monahan skating back hard and has been pretty good defensively as opposed to last season.
Hasek, sorry... Markstrom is a fantastic goaltender who you can build a championship team around.
And finally, I am curious to see what Brett Ritchie can do for this team. So far in only one game, he's shown more hustle than Simon and Nordstrom.
