Hamonic cleared for contact.

More progress for Travis Hamonic. He’s first on the ice at morning skate in a regular jersey. Had been skating the last two days in a non-contact jersey. #Flames

Good to see.
I'm guessing the most likely candidate to come out of the lineup would be Forbert. Which is too bad because I've liked his play.
If they try to force feed Hanafin\Hamonic when Andersson has greatly improved that pairings performance I'd be dissapointed. However a Gustaffson\Hamonic 3rd pair could be a good thing.

Wonder if they tried to trade Hamonic at the deadline once they were reasonable certain they were getting Gus and Forbert

They should have, but I doubt they did.

Hard to trade a guy that is a pending UFA and injured, with no clear time table for return.

Is it bad that I don't want him back?
I mean, glad that he's healthy etc, but I'd rather they leave the line up alone for now.

Not at all. I feel the same way. If he plays it better be on the 3rd pairing

Taking a while to get to 5000

^^ Nope. I'm in the same boat.
He'll make a hell of a black ace. But he probably shouldn't hit the ice for the rest of the year. He's been mediocre at best, brought pairings down at his worst.

My vote is to ease him back into the lineup on the 3rd pairing, and put him on the PK unit to give him more ice time.
But this is Ward, so Hanafin/Hamonic.

Gio - Brodie
Hanifin - Anderson
Kylington - Hamonic
Gustavsson was good early but I don't want Kylington to sit long, Forbort is fine but Hamonic is easily better

Good to see that the Flames have options now. For a while it seems like the had only one configuration on D.

No way I play Kylington over Gustavsson. Gus is a PP specialist and more talented with more experience. I like the D the way it is now, I don't even want Harmonic back in unless there is an injury.

I think a Hamonic Gustafsson pairing would be good. Ones very offensive and ones very defensive

Having extra defensemen, and being able to move guys in and out of the lineup to give them rest or heal, is a great situation to be in, for the final 14 games plus playoffs.
Whether Hamonic is better than Forbort or not, really isn't the issue IMO. I think the relevant issue is: which one suits the Flames' needs better?
And while Hamonic is probably a better all around player, Forbort has the size and ability to clear the front of the net. And I think that is an attribute that the small and soft Flames need more of.

Am I the only one who thinks Kylington has been pretty awful this season? I'd rather he doesn't play for the remainder of the season barring injury. I'd prefer Gustafsson by a mile, probably Stone too.

Hamonic and Forbort play opposite sides anyway. I suspect it will be:
Gio-Brodie
Hanifin-Andersson
Forbort-Hamonic
It may be Gustafsson draws in if the powerplay isn’t performing well. But maybe in place of Forbert since I don’t see him slotting over Hamonic on it on the right (and after all he is a LHS).

I'm sure we'll see that (along with many other combos), but I am not a fan because Forbort-Hamonic would be slow and unable to move the puck.
I think Forbort-Gustaffson is an ideal 3rd pair because each of them can also be sued for specific needs (Gustaffson PP, Forbort for net-front presence).
