Sujet: D Depth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>I disagree with this approach, If LA or Edmonton gets him that takes them out of Kane or similar who is the type of player Calgary should be in on instead. /quote]

I don’t see any scenario where either Edmonton or LA could have space to take on a Kane even at the deadline. They are both maxed out and taking advantage of LTIR. Edmonton isn’t gaining cap space at the deadline and have to move out significant salary out to add anyone. LA would have around $4 M at the deadline which still isn’t enough to add Kane. Where as the Flames could make a play for Chychrun now, and still have enough money at the deadline to go after Kane (as they’re currently at $6 M in deadline space.)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Why does Mackey need to be placed on waivers for Meloche to play? Calgary has 1.6M cap space right now and can also still send Ritchie down for free</div></div>

Because if you decide to carry both of them and without any moves Kyl comes back, you now have 9 D men up (no accruing cap space), and no one is eligible to go back down without waivers. It is just really bad management to put yourself in that spot</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Tanev isn't out long term. Arizona likely also has very little interest in Kylington and Calgary doesn't/shouldn't need Chychrun at all.

I agree on Mackey not being good enough but in that case we should call up Meloche who played quite a lot in the NHL last year

Also there is zero chance Arizona retains on a player already severely underpaid</div></div>

Hopefully Tanev isn’t out long term. Arizona has to take Kyl for cap reasons. And they wouldn’t have to retain to make this work, it just helps.
Also if Calgary brings Meloche up, Mackey would have to be out on waivers, and I don’t want to lose another young d for nothing. Meloche also doesn’t cover up the speed they’re missing on D, not with the transition game. Stone is already better at doing what Meloche brings.

Calgary very well may not “need” Chychrun. But they need him more than they need a team like LA or Edmonton getting him.

Sujet: New Lines After 5 Games - NO TRADES - Flames Fan Debate
The chemistry on the 1st line isn’t there yet, but I also don’t think you break them up yet. Give them a little more runway to sort out the disjointedness.
2nd line is good, leave it be. I like the DNA line
3rd line, I would like to see Ruzie take Lewis’ spot for 10 games and see what transpires, not 1 game. Give them a bit of time together also.
4th line I’m with you leave it be as the energy line.
I disagree about Hannifin and his absence was noticeable against Buffalo. Leave Hannifin and Anderson together.
Without Kyl, Tanev to me hasn’t looked as good with Weegar. But I don’t know the solution?
For me a pairing I think could be very good is Big Z and Weegar, but I know I’m in the minority.
PP #1 should be Mang - Kadri - Lindholm with Hubie and Anderson, and run a 1-3-1, Mang down low, floating in and out of the front of the net, Hubie running off the wings as a floater off the side walls, Kadri and Lindy moving in and out of the bunker position depending what side of the ice the puck is on. And Anderson up top.
PP #2 mix up the look and go with an umbrella and put Looch in front of the net. Have Toffoli on the LW boards, Weegar on LD, Stone on RD, and Dube on the RW boards. Move it around and keep firing.

Sujet: Chychrun
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>No at all a need. This would be a complete waste of assets</div></div>

To be clear I know that it is not a need. Without Kyl on the roster, as good as Stone has been, the mix of the group hasn’t looked as good as I thought it would.
Hannifin and Anderson are a very solid pair.
Tanev is a great shut down defender who compliments an offensive minded d man; however to my eye Weegar hasn’t looked that good with him. I think someone like Chych would be incredible beside Tanev.
Weegar is a guy that can balance out big Z.
Again I understand it’s not a need but Tre has a lot of history with Arizona and could possibly win that trade for us. If Coronato projects as good as people think on here. Maybe it’s Coronato a D prospect who’s close like Mackey and the 2023 1st.

I just think the d group as a whole needs to clean it up, and guys like Chych don’t come around that often

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingofRnR</b></div><div>At one point I'd have considered Hanifin for Chychrun straight up, but there's no point in breaking up the Hanifin-Andersson oairing and Chychrun isn't necessarily an upgrade, so he's certainly not worth giving up a top asset for in addition to Hanifin

Gauthier can be had for less or for Prospects we're ready to move on from

Rooney was brought in for a reason and we already have Adam Ruzicka, so I don't see the need for Cody Glass

Milano won't sign for 3 years at that amount</div></div>

Thanks for the feedback.
I would say that Chychrun’s upside is quite a bit more than Hannifin. Point totals over the years are similar, but I think Chych has a bit more nasty to his game, and he has also had to be the guy defensively on a not very good team. Hani has been protected by Tanev and as good as he was offensively last year with Anderson, I think if Chych were in that pairing it makes Andy better. But I see both sides of the argument.

I think Ruzie would do good to have one year as the number 1 center in the AHL with Pelts on one wing and Any one of Duehr, Klapka, Beck, or Shwindt on the other. That allows you to have a solid 2nd line of Phillips, Zary, and other RW. It allows them to build chemistry together. And get lots of minutes, not a slight on any one of them.
