They should have sent down Justin Kirkland too based on those first 5 games...in fact 5 of his first 10 games as a Flame were below 15% xGF.



Disagree.

If they set up their lines like this:

Huberdeau - Kadri - Frost
Honzek - Backlund - Coleman
Sharangovich - Zary - Coleman
Farabee - Kerins - Klapka

You could learn what you have with Kerins. Acutally a good spot to work him in. Sheltered minutes on the 4th line, with two big physical wingers that help him in some of the areas he struggles, and both guys can drive play too.
Farabee deserves better than that right now. They also need Kirkland to kill penalties. Plus your team lacks a Coronato. I suppose you have him 3rd line?

You can't shelter everyone except Backlund. Who is getting the D zone starts?
