Too bad they can't be upfront about injuries with us any more. Everything is day to day.

If that is the top 9, I would rather have 4th line winger be Shore or Stewart over Hathaway.

I hope they are shutting down Tkachuk. I sure wouldn't chance it.

you seriously have to ask yourself if BT and GG ever talk about any of BT's moves before he makes them.
They often seem on different pages.

I agree, GG will need a healthy Tkachuk next year. This year is lost, BT and GG have a plan for next year that involves Tkachuk.

They have a plan that involves one of their best young stars? Is that plan to play NHL hockey games?

Also, Glen won't be coaching here next season.

I was kidding, I don't think BT has a plan. By this point in all his other GM careers EA has released a new NHL game and he starts a new career mode where he trades future draft picks for current players. That plan is not going to work for BT.

But I would shut Tkachuk down for the year, no need to risk a head injury on this tire fire, Flames will be more or less mathematically eliminated by the end of the 2 game trip he is missing, no other perennial non-playoff team would risk injury to one of their top young players when they are out of the running.

Shame Tkachuk may not be able to finish what's been a fantastic sophomore season. If it's a concussion really there's no point in playing him again this season even if he clears with some games left.

They should shut down Monahan too if he's injured.

I hope all of these players are gone along with the coaching staff for next season. Wild cards are Versteeg and Stewart as I feel they may still be able to offer something but I still think we can upgrade on them as well. Andersson should also be a regular.
