It's still July 2nd.... Feaster isn't going to take a vacation now until the start of the season.

The Russians seem to do it lots, the guy we picked 22nd overall, Emile Poirier, does it too.

Martin St Louis, too.

Bouma-Reinhart/Knight-Jackman

EDIT: Confirmed its a 2015 4th round pick. Grand Larceny.

Even more EDIT: Where the fudge does Galiardi slot there? Someone is going.

Horak needs to slot in somewhere as well...

True.

But I gotta figure this out in NHL 13!

[Dienasty]

Hopefully the flames can trade Stajan for a 4th rounder now... Maybe a 3rd rounder if we are lucky.

I would like lines next year to be:
Sven-backs-jones
Glencross-knight-cammalerri
Galliardi-monahan-hudler
Bouma-reinhart-stempniak
Jackman

possibly in Bouma's spot?

What I'd probably do at this point (if we sign Backlund):

Cammalleri - Backlund - Stempniak
Baertschi - Monahan - Hudler
Glencross - Stajan - Jones
Galiardi - Knight - Reinhart/Jackman/Bouma

More and more I think Monahan needs to go back to junior.

Sven-Backlund-Cammy/Hudler
Glencross-Stajan-Stempniak/Cammy
Galiardi-Knight-Jones
Bouma-Reinhart-Jackman
Horak

Looks like one of Cammy or Stempniak will be moved for sure.

Doing lines is fun, but fairly useless to do at this point. You'll have 2-3 injuries coming out of camp.

Steinberg said they just sign d him

Yea, my backhand was pretty much non-existent as well, so that was a factor. Being able to go backhand to forehand in tight to get a quick snapshot away and gain a couple of feet of angle can help a ton too.

Good signing. I like it

[Anduril]

Considering the lack of top end talent and a mishmash of similar level lines, this team will probably look to roll 4 lines with almost even playing time with some spread out over PP/PK. Having this many talented and youthful players is definitely not a bad problem to have.

Probably had permission from the Sharks to talk to him earlier, so definitely a move they've been thinking of.

Good option to flip at the deadline too if we're out of it and he's having a good season.

I like it. We have a ton of forwards competing for 12 spots however. Galiardi needs to be signed I think as he is a RFA. I think he is a shoe-in for a roster spot and adds some much needed size and toughness.

It is going to be a very interesting training camp. Hudler (W), Cammy (W), Glencross (W), D. Jones (W), Stajan (C), Stempniak (W) and Backlund (C) are all guaranteed roster spots. I would think Galiardi (W) is a very safe bet to make the team. That leaves 4 spots (2 W, 2 C) for Horak, Reinhart, Baertschi, Monahan, Knight, Hanowski, and Byron and the vets Jackman/B. Jones to compete for.

Looks good. I think Cammy Stempniak stajan and Jackman will be traded before the trade deadline.

Also Flames need to start addressing the blueline lol
