If Hartley is fired, who would replace him?

Losing Byron is not likely the reason the Flames are doing so bad, but he was not a 4th liner.


He played in 57 games last year and averaged 14:28. He had 6 games with 4th line minutes (less than 12) He had 21 games with top-6 minutes (more than 15). In 2013-14 he had 47 games with the Flames averaging 14:27.

Over the last 6 games the highest paid Flame forward has averaged 15:30...


Do you consider Frolik a 4th liner? Didn't think so.

But after his first 10 games where he got 16-18 minutes / game he is basically getting Byron's ice time this year.

Except Byron gets 12 or less with the Habs (when he makes it onto the bench). And except Byron was getting literally zero minutes in Calgary, so he was less than a fourth liner on the Flames.

Or is that Frolik'd?

I just ignore him. Replies just make threads unreadable.

(not that I would even know what to reply)
