I hope Wolf and Cooley split the remaining games.

Lets keep Wolf sharp but not over worked. This season is toast.

Its almost obvious Andersson has a preferred team and they are prepared to wait until free agency and are not bidding for him if what Diss says is true. You don’t get to test fit when you sign as a free agent. Saying he wants to check out a team before signing an extension is absolute BS!

It'll be Vegas. I'd be stunned if it wasn't at this point. Happy to be wrong though.

Happy to see that Brzuz draws back in, it made little sense for him to scratched as much as he had been over the last few games.

It is weird that Hunt plays ahead of a younger player but whatever.

Stromgren must be showing very poorly in the optional or morning skates. No practices I don't think? Just zero trust there. Didn't even get moved up to the open spot by Backlund whose whole thing is taking kids under his wing.

That 4th line is so useless on a rebuilding team

Scratch Stromgren and don't have Morton or Kerins in the lineup so we can dress Lomberg-Kirkland-Hunt.

If that's true, then I have no hard feelings. I would've probably done the same thing in his place. Why not live in a city for a couple of months and see how you like it, and how well you fit into the locker room.

It all comes down to how he values the 8th year, and injury insurance vs a bidding war, and a choice of a destination.

Go Flames Go! It's time to finally win against Chicago. I bet Hunt has a good game.

By all accounts both him and Morton have had really nice years in the AHL and by not at least giving them a fair shake at a handful of games, with real minutes seems quite bizarre on a team going nowhere this year. Neither player looked woefully out of place in what little time they were afforded, and it really is a headscratcher to not assume that they can only improve with more reps.

You know who's had an even better year in the AHL?
