[GT] Flames @ Mammoth (Feat. Tusky) Oct. 15th, 2025

[Matty81]

Looking early on like the flames might have a higher pick. The frustrating part about this year is that beyond rasmus there are a lot of average hockey players locked up for a long time so it's going to be much tougher for the flames to sell off rental style players and build up some picks and prospects.


Maybe coleman and frost have short enough term that the flames might eat some money and get a good young player or pick for them

[3rd liner]

Of course. Lucky bank shot.

You’re forgetting the 10 game winning streak at the end of the season that clinches 15th place for them.

Haha, the only way out of this nightmare is death. Sell the Flames and gove us an expansion team, Gary.

We will be paying Shags and Farabee 40 million dollars over their contracts. My god what was Craig thinking

I've written many times the parts of Huska's system that don't work. The response to every single post is "the team has no skill". Maybe they should defend the blue line on the rush instead of giving it up so easily. The wingers should pressure the d-man in the defensive zone instead of collapsing and hoping the other team makes a mistake and turns the puck over. The forwards should not fly the zone the instant the puck touches a Flames stick and instead actually give the dmen some good outlets. Vets who play like crap should sit. Guys should not go from healthy scratch to top 4.

Utah was prepared and pressured our dmen in the offensive zone and cut off east west passes multiple times. Once for a breakaway goal, but again when the Flames had their goalie pulled which forced Coronato to throw the puck away. T

Huska's system may have worked in junior because the players make more mistakes to capitalize on, and you can sit back more to wait. In the NHL when you give teams that much time they will burn you.

We are blaming pro hockey players with proven track records at the NHL level and giving a huge pass to the most unproven part of this team. He got his job because Sutter went bonkers and then somehow keeps showing up, Costanza style.

Yes, signing that contract and obtaining the other one were stupid decisions.

The Huska contract was stupid too.

Maybe CC is a bad GM.

Never heard that one, but I'll be using it from now on.

Makes sense as long as you don't mind the return being lower. Plus you have severely limited the teams with the cap to take on that poor contract.

Weegar 20 goal season
Huberdeau multiple 20-30 goal seasons.

What stats you looking at??

What are the chances of Coleman, Sharangovich, Weegar ever hitting those numbers again?

I'd say that Coronato is the only one on that list that has a better than 50% chance of hitting your mark.

I'd say that at a minimum, Kadri, Backlund, and Huby have at least a 50% chance of. hitting that mark this season. Zary will likely come close to that mark. Coronato will likely exceed last season's totals. Within 2 years, I anticipate that Backlund will no longer hit that mark, but his production will be replaced by Parekh and Gridin. Within 3 years, Reschny and Potter will likely also hit the 20 goal mark, replacing Kadri's production. So probably enough to maintain the Flames' recent goal production, but probably not enough to improve on it much without an influx of additional skill not currently in the organization.

Gridin, and especially Reschny and Potter, have not proven that they are not even capable NHL players, much less pencilling them in for 20+ goals.

First round picks, especially later first round picks, are not even sure bets to be NHL players much less hitting the 20 goal plateau.

This is not a description of Huska's system at all. You've completely made it up. And no coach is going to have players do things they are not able to pull off.
