Flames Tkachuk makes opening day roster

Ryan Leslie @ryanleslie73
Gulutzan says Tkachuk will start the season with the #Flames

Eric Francis @EricFrancis
Gulutzan said Tkachuk will be here Game 1.

Aaron Vickers @AAVickers
Tkachuk will start the season with the #Flames, according to Gulutzan. "You all know the magic number."

No surprise

As I said in the other thread, no brainer. He's been our second or third best forward all pre-season.

Congrats Matt!

He's looked better each game, and his competition has looked pretty pathetic. He'll get his 9 games for sure, but I can see if management is apprehensive of pulling an Oilers move and rushing the kid

Re the other spots still available:

Kristen Odland @Kristen_Odland
Gulutzan said his preference is to have 7 D and 13 forwards.

Pat Steinberg @Fan960Steinberg
Finally, Gulutzan says the team will be down to opening day roster numbers by practice on Saturday. #Flames

It is interesting how some media interpet Gulutzan's comments:

Pat Steinberg @Fan960Steinberg
Gulutzan also says "it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility" to see Tkachuk start the season in the NHL. #Flames

Derek Wills @Fan960Wills
While not earth-shattering news, Glen Gulutzan suggested it's safe to say that Matthew Tkachuk will start regular season with #Flames.

Roger Millions @RogMillions
Gulutzan on Matthew Tkachuk will practice Saturday and Sunday. Won't commit to game 1 in Edm. Says he has put himself in good place. #Flames

Seems vastly different than confirming that he will be on the roster

7D and 13 forwards? Interesting. Still leaving room for 1 player on the roster. As Roger Millions would say, hmmmmmm.

That is pretty telling, if it was me I would fill up my roster with what was in front of me... those who earned the spot at camp.

Unless he means 13 forwards of the guys who are in camp, plus the one sitting in New Jersey to make 14.

Flames are right up against the cap. 7D, 13F might be to maximize remaining space.

Tkachuk-Bennett-Brouwer line should be called "Brou and the Bros"

He said to start the season so I assume he included Gaudreau / assumes he'll be there but yeah that might be it.
