Final Cuts - Forwards (Pick who's STAYING)

[Bingo]

Sorry guys, deleted because the interpretation could go both ways.

This time ... PICK WHO YOU KEEP

Givens 11

Gaudreau
Monahan
Lindholm
Tkachuk
Backlund
Neal
Bennett
Jankowski
Czarnik
Ryan
Frolik

Pick 2 or 3 of the following depending on what you need on the blueline

Peluso
Lazar
Hathaway
Dube
Mangiapane

[Jiggy]

Keep Dube (3rd line) and Hathaway (extra forward). Let Mangiapane play big minutes in the AHL and he can be the first call up in case of an injury.

[AC]

Peluso and Dube for sure IMO, then I think Lazar over Hathaway but could see the reverse.

[devo22]

Dube for sure. I'd also keep Mangiapane as a rotational player plus Hathaway for grit. Waive/send down Peluso and Lazar.

Agree - but I went with Hathaway over Lazar, because I think the later could actually still benefit from time in the AHL.
Could get claimed too....more likely than Hathaway IMO

Dube is staying for sure. Mangiapane needs to play and isn't staying as the 13 of 14 forward, so he gets cut. The Flames will almost certainly keep 14 forwards, and Peluso is probably staying to add toughness. So really it is down to which of Hathaway vs Lazar. That is a tough question. I would keep Lazar around as he can play all three spots and has a more complete set of skills. But I could see it go either way.

[Flashpoint]

Dune. The rest are AHLers but Peters will keep Hathaway because he still thinks the NHL has “physical” guys. It doesn’t, and he’s wrong, but Hathaway will still be around.

Nice to see Dube push out a loser like Lazar though.

[bigrangy]

I don't really want Peluso to stay but if the Flames carry 14 forwards it will be him and Hathaway in the press box I think.

Dubé has made the team but if he struggles once real action hits, Mangiapane will be all too happy to take his spot.

[Macindoc]

Hathaway starts in the pressbox, Dube makes the opening lineup.

[Zoller]

I thought forsure they would keep Peluso...

Now I think forsure they will keep Prout

[Enoch Root]

Voted Dube, Hathaway and Peluso, but would like to see them keep 8 defensemen (Valimaki, Andersson and Prout) and just 13 forwards (no Peluso)

[Savvy27]

Mangiapane and Hathaway. Keep Mangiapane as a bottom 6 winger and have Dube get big minutes in all situations in the AHL and have him as the first call up. Hathaway in and out of the line up depending on opponents.

Dube had a great camp but Mangiapane looked good too and has proved himself in the AHL. On the other hand, I am totally on board with Dube staying up.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Hathaway and Mangiapane.
