Mostly Lindholm and Backlund, based on the previous stats. But I dunno - they seem to lose a lot when it matters (eg PK and PP).

Kadri is pretty good but he gets thrown out more than anyone I've ever seen.

Finally the Tkachuk trade pays off!

The Flames have never made internal growth a priority under Treliving and certainly not previously under Feaster or Sutter. Sure Treliving was all about the buzz words saying the road to Calgary is via the Heat/Wranglers but he never truly paid any mind to players down there and instead plugged the road with bad PTOs and expensive vets.

It's amazing doing what most fans knew would work, actually works. It's contagious as players on the Wranglers elevate their games simply because they can see their peers getting a legitimate shot and having good play and habits rewarded.

Underated player. I hope he makes the most of his opportunity. Seems like a good kid.

Tied for the Wranglers' +/- lead at 13 with Jones, Coronato and Klapka.

I supposed Jones or Bishop could've been candidates for call-up too.

Oh no thank you. His time should be done with the Flames.

Ruzicka is probably going to be an add-on in any trade. Some teams might see him as a project.

When Lindholm goes this team, will need warm bodies at C. And if they don't get one back, he'll likely be staying.

A lot of these lineups are next year territory. I agree, if Lindholm went to, say, Colorad, you'd be getting Oloffson (or maybe RyJo if you can take him for an extra year).

I wonder if a deal with Vegas is possible. They load Lindholm now while Eichel is out, and then get to ice a teram that's well over the cap for the POs.

Pettersen as well. I’m hoping he’s the next guy up
