Huska needs keep the lines same for 10 games. They have no idea who is where.
I would call up Klapka and send Hunt down

Or divide these players 3 categories and build lines and keep them 10 games.

- Need a new contract line
Mangi-Lindholm-Duehr

- Younger guns lines:
Klapka-Ruzicka-Coronato
Greer- Dube-Sharangovich

- Retired line:
Huber-Backlund-Kadri

And arguably that ‘commitment’ to rebuild got them nowhere because if you look at their drafts, they’re pretty mediocre and not a big reason why they’re playing well.

Helps to have a Norris winner fall in your lap.

Didn't Montreal do it also?

Huberdeau is a giveaway machine.

[memphusk]

Boo heavily. Boo until your booer is broken and then keep booing.

[SoulOfTheFlame]

Wake me up in 10 years when this team will actually rebuild.

Going back to the 21-22 season certain "fans" of this team have been hoping for this team to suck, more than hoping they win, because then they'd "be right" and get to flaunt it like some badge of honor and it's freaking embarrassing.

Do I wish the Flames would commit to an actual rebuild? 100% but I don't pay the bills like Murray Edwards does.

Do I wish this team still had Tkachuk and Gaudreau? 100%, but those pricks decided they didn't want to be here and can now screw off. I hope they never have success on their new teams, and never win a cup.

Do I wish we didn't have $17.5M combined allocated to Kadri and Huberdeau? 100%, but we do, so for as long as they are wearing the Flaming C im going to hope that they play well because that's the best chance we have at either winning with them, or being able to trade them.

I'm a fan of the team. Not certain players, not certain coaches, a fan of the team. And I will cheer for the team to have success even if it means I'm wrong about certain things or certain players.

We can make fun of Oilers fans all we want but at least they actually cheer for their team and want them to win.

This fan base cheering for certain players to fail, or for the team to fall flat on their face is embarassing. Cheer for the team, don't cheer to be "right"

The boo birds were out in Edmonton tonight as well after their lacklustre performance. It’s also a lot easier cheering for a team that has the best player in the world and can get people out of their seats on any given night. Flames have none of that flare at the moment and are an aging collection of complimentary pieces.

I wouldn’t be so quick to defend Oiler fans as they were definitely cheering for losses during their dark years and would celebrate draft lotteries like winning the Stanley Cup. Expectations this year for both clubs are far different.

At this pace Zadarov will ask a trade if the team play like this in November.

The Flames should trade everyone they have.


Zadarov is one of the few Flames in this team I love, but Damnit it is time to do business.


Don't start winning now.

I love big Z. But I hope he gets it. Seems like a proud guy. This garbage must be eating him up from the inside.

Then you trade him. He will get the team something nice. Trade Coleman and whoever else. Eat a ####ty matching contract on whatever players you can with gaining picks in the process. Give guys like Gilbert and Soloyov 20 minutes a night. Give the team some life with young guys and minutes.

[habernac]

Will anyone score in the turd if an outdoor game on Sunday? Alberta has gone from Death Valley to a piece of cake for visiting teams.

Robert with an all-time call on 960 tonight

[FlamesAddiction]

Are there any examples of teams that rebuilt while keeping their highest paid players playing well into their 30s?

If this team really rebuilding then sure lets trade most of the players if return is good. But I'm Okay to keep Zadorov or Tanev if they agree to lead young players and teach them. Especially Ds as we don't have many D prospects.
In my opinion rebuilding team need have a good D and G, just to keep the games close. Otherwise it will be horrible if bunch of young players lose every game like blow out.

[The Fonz]

It’s sad that we need to have a guy on staff that basically tells players “you’re about to get lit up by 500 nerds”.

Canadian markets suck.

[TheScorpion]

Is the Wedley guy who just called into 960 on this board? That was outstanding radio, great stuff. Super well-reasoned.

[NewFan]

And just give Lindholm better line mates.
Maybe Mangi-Lindholm-Coronato will work?
