We're getting real close to seeing if all the moves Tre made this offseason is going to pay off. I haven't been this excited since the start of the 15-16 season after the playoff run, lets hope it turns out to be a better ending.

That one quote makes it sound like he wants Neal to take draws

It sounds more to me like they want Monahan to get some more strength in his wrist before the season starts.

I hear that. Is anyone else pretty disappointed by the Flames' non-participation in the Penticton event this year? It's always such a good fix for the hockey cravings that you get in the late summer.

Yeah with Mony finally feeling 100% let him get back up to speed. Make sure everything is good to go for the season. No point in him jamming his wrist in some meaning less games.

It was definitely worded a little strange, I would think they just want him to build up a little strength in his wrist and they will also try Neal on the top line. Don’t see him taking any draws he lost the only 2 he took last year.

I already love Peters’s willingness to try Tkachuk on the top line, something the previous coaching staff would not even attempt. Obviously he has more forward depth, but the fact Tkachuk wasn’t even given an opportunity on that line after Ferland clear drop off in play and Monahans injuries was just flat out dumb. Keeping arguably our second best playmaker on the shutdown line when the top line was clearly struggling pissed me off. Having a line with 3 high IQ highly skilled players like Gaudreau, Mony, and Tkachuk, could be so dominant and I believe Tkachuk got one shift with them at even strength all last year. Thank god GG and co. are gone.

I love the optimism this year. I feel actually good about things going forward.

...Now I'm just expecting a well-timed Ken King announcement that will crash everything back down.

I hope Peter's philosophy doesn't include over sheltering / protecting guys too to long instead of throwing them in headfirst so they can learn.

If they screw up hey.....they have to learn sometime, someway and this is how they progress. This is pro hockey now and not junior.

Learning the strengths sooner makes this a better club going forward.

So far Peter's makes allot of sense in his words I just hope it translates to on the ice.

The game looks like it will be very well attended. The lower bowl is just about sold out and they have started selling tickets for the second level.

Exciting to hear that he's clearly opening the door for Tkachuk to play on the top line. All 3 of those would be good options.

It saddens me that Bennett isn't in that conversation this year. But that's what depth is for!
