Zary-Kadri-Pospisil.

Interesting. Wasn't Yegor rolling with Kadri/Zary?

I'm okay with them testing out different lines. They need to figure out if they have players that can get Huberdeau going and if not then Conroy needs to make a trade. You can't have a player making what he is not producing.

I don’t get why they don’t try huby with yegor. I get he doesn’t mesh with lindy or kadri. But having him with hand grenade Coleman is such a waste. Flip Coleman and yegor.

I understand a few of the moves (Huberdeau) but usually you mix up other lines when offense has gone cold. They had a bad night on the 2nd of a back to back. I'd have left the Zary line alone.

It looks like a last ditch attempt to get Huberdeau going.

I thought the Kadri line was the worst line last game, but I think it's a mistake to break them up.

I would personally like to see Sharangovich with Mangiapane and Lindholm if we're breaking up the Kadri line.

I’ve said it before. I don’t think it really matters. The Flames forward group doesn’t really have any players that stand out.

Man we are not at the last ditch yet. Eight years.

By Christmas he will have been tried with every forward on the team. It's obvious the guy is feeling tremendous pressure and I don't know if constantly switching lines is helping him relax. But I really have no idea what to do about it either.

Trade for one of his buddies and let them freelance. He’s played with duclair and Hoffman before and can probably be had for super cheap.

I don't like the constant line changing. Figure out which ones have a least had a little success in the past put them out there and LEAVE THEM for 10 games and see if some real chemistry builds. Lines can have a bad game or two, no need to constantly switch them!

Keep blending. Let nothing work. Get a better draft result. Let Huska run his contract out then hire a real head coach when it's time. This plan is executing itself by all the mistakes made perfectly so far.

I just hope he keeps Huberdeau with Backlund for more than this practice to give it a chance.

Kadri line is working. Zary off to great start and building confidence. So let's flamesey this up and change that line.

Come on.

With 8 years left on his contract, I believe this is actually one of many upcoming ditch attempts to get him going

There is no possible trade

Nobody would want a 10M 50 pts scorer for 8 yrs

They’re probably going to start bring players in to try and get him going. At some point it’s going to make more sense to send him out.

Never say never. If there’s a will there’s a way.
