Rittich is an RFA with arbitration rights. What sort of contract will he get?

Of the RFA all of the sudden the must sign list went from Tkachuk to Tkachuk, Rittich and Bennett. Both Bennett and Rittich have arbitration rights.

Is Rittich or Tkachuk more important to team success? Top 4 forward compared to #1 goalie.


Who gets a bigger contract Ferland or Bennett?

I don’t heavily disagree with anything here, save for the fact that F- is not a grade and if this is play, Neal ranks higher than Czarnik. If it’s expectations he’s definitely an F, but then Lindholm and Hanifin should both be A+

[ricardodw]

Hanifin > Hamilton and Hamilton used to get graded an A in most of these rankings.


Hamonic is pretty much a shocker in how much better he is this year. He might be playing better as a it is easier playing with someone as reliable as Hanifin???

I think this just solidifys my belief that the Flames need another top 6 C to go deep. Backlund's production for me is just not what you want from your 2nd line C, he would be the ultimate 3rd C though. Adding Schenn and a warrior on D like Kronwall would put this team as a SC threat.

Fixed some inconsistencies in projections. Gio is actually on pace for 66 assists!
Frolik despite only getting cheesy goals is actually on pace for 22 goals.

The reason I didn't give Czarnik an F is I guess I didn't really expect much, and he is on pace for 17 points with not that many games played.

Umm Gaudreau now has 26 goals and is 4 off the goal scoring lead. Are you shtting me? Hard to believe.
