Sorry - Meant the mini-combine that the Flames invited Petan to, not the camp. Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for the guys who posted already clearing that up.
Dumba got much better as the game went on. He was (imo) literally the worst player on the ice it seemed in the first period, but got progressively better.
S.Reinhart - was the forward thrown out on that 5-3 PK. Did well too! This kid plays such a solid 200ft game. It would be tough to pass on Ekblad if the choice was there, but Reinhart really is that good.
Is it wrong to already be anticipating the next world's juniors with Klimchuk on that line instead of Horvat? lol
I don't see why Shinkaruk would get the nod over Mantha. Mantha is a much better forechecker, and he seems to do more driving the play. A much better player over-all, and you are not giving up offence at all. If cuts were to be made today, Mantha would probably get the nod over Shinkaruk.

Agreed. This is much more the type of player Sutter would like, given the style of play he encourages.
There sure is a fascination with all things Canucks these days. If Calgary had drafted a small, soft, bad attitude, stock falling Shinkaruk instead of Poirier, I get the feeling the media would be pooping on the pick. They'd say how the Flames went with the hometown kid to appease the fans even though all the other teams passed on him.
Yet, when it's the Canucks who take him, he is some god and the next great scorer. It's almost like TSN is pandering to Canuck fans to drive viewership.
I guess it's just cooler to be a Canuck fan these days then a Flames fan.

I don't think they have a set time to announce them but in pre-game Mackenzie said he thought they would make cuts after watching this game. So maybe tomorrow morning.
