Oliver is starting to remind me a little bit of a young TJ Brodie

I would guess that nobody did anything to anyone.

Zadorov has been the biggest disappointment but I expected that. Was never a fan of his and always loved when Flames played against him. He was always a liability and still is. Thank God was only a 1 year contract. Plain to see why he's on his 4th team at 26.

Is Gudbranson, Nicklas Grossman bad? He looks like it to me. Sure looks like a swing and a very slow miss to me.

Let's just start with him being a regular player on the team.

Gaudreau only 11:05? Did he get hurt? Or just preseason… ice time load management?

Except Kylington has a better shot. I love Brodie and I will continue to say it was a big mistake to let him go, but Kylington has all those tools and the shot too.. just have to figure out if he can build that beautiful toolbox that Brodie has.

Just like TJ Brodie.

I thought tonight was his best game so far.

If he doesn't make the team, I think I will be done with this team.
At one time he was projected to be top 5 in the 2015 draft.

Maybe we shouldn't be surprised.

I will always bet on the Swedes to figure it out.

The Flames played smart balls out hockey for the last 12 minutes of the first period. Baby steps.

Looked great.

They will win a lot of games when they are able to replicate those minutes for 50 plus minutes.

No it's not. It's the same core unless you think Gio was the problem and it's going to change because he's gone. They rarely played more than one or two good periods last season. I'm not going to lose sleep over this but there's not enough talent on this team to take periods off.

I really hope he turns out like Brodie. He hasn't really had a legit shot up to this point at regular play time, so I'm just hoping he establishes himself as a useful player.
He's looked great so far.

Hanifin #1, Andersson #2, Tanev #3, Kylington #4, Stone/Valimaki rotating in for #5, Zadorov/Gudbranson rotating in for #6 would by my current approach if I had no allegiances to specific players, but I fully expect extra leash granted to the two most recent d-man acquisitions just cause the GM hand picked them (with Darryl's input likely).

I seriously doubt that things are so binary. Sometimes—for inexplicable reasons—all it takes is a random shakeup just like this.

the core is the same on pretty much every team in the league. So why even bother playing another season?
