Edmonton used to room rookies together didn't they?

18 year old roommates get up to different things than a 21 and 24 year old I'm sure

Was Monahan being asked to live with a billet a unique situation because he was 18 at the time?

re: 14 and Fleury...I don't have an opinion one way or another, but I guess the fact it hasn't been re-deployed yet means that might still be holding back for something other than Forever a Flame?

I love Reggie but he is not number retirement worthy

Well the Flames had the hammer in that situation. They told Monahan stay with a billet or we are returning you to junior.

[DJones]

Think Russell is married. That would be weird

Smid should take #3 and Jooris could take #15, problem solved.

I know Smid likes #5, but #15 for a Defenceman looks ridiculous.


End of my crotchety old man rant.

Let him keep his number until after the season. Good on Jooris. I knew he is going to be staying when they sent Setoguchi to AHL. I hope Granlund next but they have to get rid of another veteran forward or another roster player to keep him all season.

28 is Corey Potter.

no number next to his name

Let him keep 86

I believe Monahan's mom actually moved to Calgary for the balance of the season instead of him staying with a billet.

Eighty-sixed is perfect for him and will be when his game winning goal on April 11th vs the Jets eighty-sixes San Jose's playoff hopes.

#Flames C Josh Jooris is the latest rookie to be told to get a place. He's moved in with LW Johnny Gaudreau -- and he's keeping No. 86.

Granlund has to step it up a notch. He's been up a while and has tapered off to the point where he could be sent down. Maybe different linemates would help?

Probably moves to a lower number in the summer when other players are gone (Setoguchi, McGrattan, maybe Glencross).

[Vinny01]

Not to derail but if Glencross leaves does Monahan take #20 or does he stick with 23?

Not that I know Sean, but I think he'd stick with 23.

[djsFlames]

Well that's cool of Burke. But he'll likely change his mind when more numbers free up..

[MrMastodonFarm]

I wish Monahan would have taken 19, just love that number for number one pivots.
