Yeah, it's a very good idea.

You could switch Coleman for a big net front guy like Klapka if you want.
Like these, but Kadri is such a rush player and such a mediocre distributor that I would swap him and Frost. Frost is an excellent PP player who, like Kadri, can carry the puck into the zone but I have more confidence in him to make something happen afterward or when they're set up. So, with that swap,

Huska was on The FAN Hockey Show today. Nothing surprising, but some Flames news in a stretch without much.

- break came at a right time for us, work effort was still there, but we didn't have much success leading up to it.

- it'll allow players to refocus over the break.

- we're going to have a mini training camp after the break, an opportunity to review some things with the guys.

- Conroy is a real champion of the young prospects and does a great job pushing them and he stays close to the Wranglers and Craig will voice his desire to see the young players be inserted into the lineup.

- believes the youth have energized older players on the team.

- didn't know that Wolf's rise would happen as quickly as it has. The more you're around Wolf, the more you realize his hockey sense for a young guy is off the charts. He's going to only take off as he gets more experience in the league and get even better than he already is.

- Wolf is very unflappable, which is a bit weird.

- believes the team does play differently in front of different goalies. Unsure why it is this way. Feels fortunate that he has Vladar and is a big reason why Wolf's been able to take off in short order.

- we take a lot of pride in what we have in the dressing room. The opening game in Vancouver was a message to the older players that if they buy-in to the system, the team can have success, as the team played their game in the 2nd/3rd period.

- it's not coaching staff barking at the players this year when they are veering off the system, it's the older guys who are reminding everyone in the room and on the bench.

- loved that it was Crosby who stepped up when the team needed someone to do that in the Canada game. Thrilled that Ras is with Sweden and sure that he'll get in at some point. What he brings back from the event is going to be really valuable for our players.

- the energy that Lombergini brings is infectious. There are no bad days for Lomberg and holds him in such high regard. Feels he learned and matured a lot in Florida. Really understands his role well on the Flames. Brightens up the room when he walks in, makes everyone laugh and smile, hear his voice around the Dome constantly in the distance. He's a great example of what the Calgary Flames are all about right now, how he gives up a lot of weight to his opponents but never backs down when he needs to stick up for his teammates.
