Zohorna is intriguing - nearly half a point a game over 31 games in the NHL so far, and seems like a strong skater. He is 26 already, however, so maybe he is what he is? So much you can tell by age, and often a big guy takes a bit longer to get it together.
Video of a goal:
Good speed, controlled the pass well, and protected the puck well, scored under pressure.
I think he would probably be lost in the shuffle here as well. Ruzicka has posted similar numbers, but is 3 years younger and has actually played center in the NHL.
I don't think the Flames snag him, but he is definitely an interesting proposition for any team that feels they are weak and undersized in the bottom 6.
Maybe a Dwight King type of player that Darryl could use in his top 9?
Why would this signal Eakins out? Not that I care if Eakins makes the team but picking up a guy on waivers during pre season probably means he has an uphill battle ahead of him to make team. This new guy is also a left winger. Do we really need more of those ?
If Eakins isn’t signed, they could use Rooney as 4th line centre, shift one of Dube or Mangiapane to RW and slot Zohorna at 3rd line lw. There’s Ruzicka to factor in too.

This is confusing. Why? Another bottom six forward? Another LW? Don't we have both of those in spades? Who gets bumped seeing as they have to keep him on the roster?
apparently plays all 3 forward positions . Pens fans are not happy so there could be something here
Stat line looks solid, scouting report seems good. For me, anything to shore up that 4th line depth. I was not liking the look of that 4th line at all. If you think back to the most effective 4th lines in recent times, 2018-2019 Mangiapane-Ryan-Hathaway was amazing. Or going further back to when Backlund carried Tim Jackman. it's actually good to have youth and skill. Just filling it up with 30+ year old, 13th forward quality players is not good enough

Waiver claims are interesting. He has things going for him now to stay up with the big club if he can bring it with the Flames. What an opportunity for him.

Did you see the over-reaction to Phillips getting send down here? Could be a big nothing too.
Still wondering about this and how he fits in? Neither of the PTOs earning a contract? A deal worked out for another forward that is going to see a bottom six forward depart? Has to be more to this.

This is my guess
