Why did they bothered calling up Irving.

Quote:
Of the new players, Hartley said the lone one who likely wouldn't play was Irving, the club's 2006 first-round draft choice.
It looks like there will be 8 call ups or rookies in the lineup today.

Quote:
The Flames lines for the Wild will be: Baertschi-Mikael Backlund-Mike Cammalleri; Byron-Street-Lee Stempniak; Reinhart-Horak-Jiri Hudler; and Tim Jackman-Matt Stajan-Ben Hanowski.
On defence: Mark Giordano-Cory Sarich; T.J. Brodie-Cundari; and Chris Butler-Brett Carson.

I find this more exciting than watching the vets go through the motions.

It's too bad Bouma is injured I really thought this season would be his year to make a case for being a mainstay on the roster.

I'd argue his skating is probably better than Hanowski.

Maybe but that still doesn't mean that Nemisz is an NHLer.

by that reasoning, you are suggesting that hanowski isn't either?

His skating is clearly not NHL level. There's really no debate.

I agree. Was just curious for the response.

The only reason to call up Nemisz would be to show Hanowski that his skating is behind Nemisz, and that Nemisz with his skating will not make the NHL.

Hanowski has a lot of work to do to make the NHL.

I don't really think we need to mess with Nemisz to show Hanowski that his skating isn't good enough.

Of all the call ups I am most excited for Bancks. Too bad Breen wasn't healthy because I would have been over the moon to see him play with the big club this year.

Nemisz not being an NHLer has little to do with his skating and more to do with his low hockey IQ, weak to average shot, non-physical play.

There are hundreds of AHLers who offer what little Nemisz does, but to answer your question about Hanowski, I really don't know. Haven't watched him enough, but he didn't impress me even with his goal. He's still a college kid though, Nemisz has had a lot more time to improve and he's actually getting worse.

Any Heat watchers have some insight?
I think Ward does have his "likes' and "dilikes" but I am sure some will agree. I am not a Ward fan and find him rather annoying quite frankly.
Nemo has way for more skill thank Bancks. No offence to Bancks, good guy to have on your team, definitely Wardo's favourite. Hope Nemo gets a chance with another team. I honestly don't think many prospects have improved under Ward. Certainly doesn't show in their stats. Seems unfortuanate really.

By my count, when it's all said and done, 36 players will have suited up for the Flames this year.
