Honestly, I don't want Dubé to come out of the lineup for Czarnik. It will be interesting how they handle this

Send rieder down.

Rinaldo and Reider will go down. Once Bennett and Czarnik are back you may see Kylington or Czarnik down (if Cz passes waivers)

None of Rieder, Rinaldo or Czarnik put up points, so I might keep Rinaldo in the press box for when we need an extra caveman. Rieder and Czarnik are pretty much the same player. I looked and Rieder cleared waivers Oct. 29, which is more than 30 days ago, so he would have to be waived again right?


It would suck if Dubé got sent down just because he's the easiest to send down. Since other than Lindholm, Tkachuk and Mangiapane, he's the only one scoring right now.

Czarnik was on a 3 game point streak before he got injured. I thought he was doing well capitalizing on his opportunities.

If another clubs wants to take Rieder, I doubt anyone would be upset.

I think Reiders time got reset to unlimited now because he was sent down once and recalled

[Savvy27]

This approach is kind of interesting. I wonder how much it has to do with the coaches wanting to keep things stable for the line up that has turned things around recently after so much chaos.

It sucks for Czarnik but he really has been out of the line up for a decent stretch and a couple of games would help him get back up to speed. It would be really nice if he could come back and continue producing offensively as he was starting to when he went down to injury.

I suppose another option would be to send down Jankowski, since he literally has 0 points. His main saving grace is that he plays centre and is decent at faceoffs.

[Toonage]

When its all said and done (barring trades) I suspect Rinaldo and Rieder will go back down and Frolik takes a seat in the pressbox

[Erick Estrada]

Rinaldo brings energy but he's terrible. We already have Lucic so I just don't see the point of him.

[TheScorpion]

Czarnik was playing some of his best hockey as a Flame before he got injured. He was excellent and is a much better option than much of the bottom-six, imo. I'd be interested to see him with Monahan.

But I hear he has a laser of a shot.

Is this proof that faster than light travel is possible?

I would agree, he adds to that 4th line in a worse case scenario. Not sure if you could take out both Frolik and Rieder from a pk perspective but i would love to see

Gaudreau. Lindholm. Dubé
Tkachuk. Monahan. Backlund
Lucic. Ryan. Mangiapane
Bennett. Jankowski. Czarnik

I would guess your pk forwards are Lindholm, Backlund, Ryan, Jankowski, Bennett and ??? (You likely want 3 units)

[TheScorpion]

I'd be interested in seeing Dube or Mangiapane on the PK. they both have the speed to make it work

[browna]

Czarnik, a second assist, a tap in off work in front from Lucic and then a bank in goal of a Florida defender, are the three points.

Value for what it is but he was terrible before that, and sat 4 of the first 12 games, so outside of the rest and perspective, not sure fans should be waiting for him to breakout anymore then Bennett when he comes back.

[ForeverFlameFan]

Curious to see what Ward does with Czarnik. I thought Czarnik, when given the chance, was putting up some decent points when given the appropriate amount of ice time. I don't think Peters played Czarnik enough.
