We must have been watching different games, because he didn't look overwhelmed when I was watching. I'm pretty sure his line with Kadri was great.

Morton is another guy that I actually liked on the 4th line.

Nothing against Hunt the person, but I think it's safe to say Hunt will never get better than a 13th forward. If the Flames aren't trying to win, then there's no harm in giving a younger player some more NHL experience.

I guess we'll see which players end up with more than 15-20 NHL games this season.

Ohhh, over a PPG in the AHL, impressive! Arthur Kaliyev leads the whole league, how is he not a regular on the Kings? Big deal.

Dauphin is also at the top, but I don't think he had a call-up since 2022.

Morton is actually a pretty decent player, much better than Dryden Hunt.

Kerins is almost 24 and is being outscored by Hunt the the AHL (PPG) Not sure how likely it is he is an everyday NHLer

Kerins played mainly with Pelletier. He got a couple points off of a great game by Pelletier in his first game. But over his short stint he was more and more out of his depth.

I just find it funny people complain about overplaying a guy who has had 3 games.

Why is he about .5 PPG in the AHL but Hunt is over 1.0?

Kadri has been nothing short of awful lately. His GAF looks like it's about zero.

This year he played with Kadri and I think Farabee, and he had over 80%xG in his 2 games.

LOL - I didn't even remember he played in the NHL this season. Not very impactful I guess.

Clearly your takes on the player should be taken very seriously. "Completely overwhelmed"

I thought he was great, actually. One of the best players in both games.
