Interesting.

Keep in mind also they would likely be keeping any further moves close to the chest at this point. More and more reports have the flames in the mix for eichel so I still think that is a possibility. And it’s not like anyone in the organization can publicly say they are pursuing eichel… that’s considered tampering.
But even if they are done in terms of additions. I think the flames still have a good chance at making the playoffs and making some noise in the playoffs as well. A healthy Monahan is a big addition to last years team. If you look at how well he was playing early in the season till his injury, he could have a big bounce-back year. I’m also hoping an effort is made to reconcile tkachuk with the rest of the team’s core. If everyone is buying in to Sutter’s system and can re-gel as a team, I think they are easily a playoff team.
Sutter-lead teams are rarely regular season beasts. But they are pretty consistently a handful to deal with in the playoffs. This isn’t a case of “get in and hope for the best.” It’s a case of a style of play that has proven success in the playoffs.
I’m optimistic for this season with or without eichel. Just hoping Gaudreau is re-signed before the start of training camp. Can’t wait for the season to get going. It’s going to be a long September.
