Interesting from the Huska interview that the plan for Honzek was originally play some preseason games then Wranglers.

Honestly, I'm a big proponent of savings prospects from clown shows.

I don't think this team will be very good. I don't think we have a defence that can hang consistently at the NHL level to be able to be able to string together wins like you have to do in the NHL. Brzustewicz and Parekh should be no where near the big club unless it's a cup of coffee to just understand the speed and what they need to improve on. Honzek making the team is a pleasant surprise, and on a high note at least he'll be playing with some legit NHLers.

The Flames seem to really like Bru a lot, not sure if he'll get some games this year with all the 7-8 guys we have + Poirier/Grush, etc. , but if he doesn't make the team next year I'm sure he'll get called up throughout the year.

I see Parekh as at least 2-3 years away from the NHL, but who knows, he himself said he didn't have a great camp and didn't play to his strengths, so maybe he comes in next year and dazzles.

No need to rush any of the D prospects with so many 7-8 d-men on the team or in the AHL. Let them develop in the A where they can win some games before being thrown to the wolves.

Yeah let's wait until they're all good and cooked up ready for a NHL shot and then lose em on waivers.
Like I get the Bean and Bahl acquisitions. You want your blueline to at least be of NHL quality. But the reluctance to waive Hanley and signing Barrie and Tinordi with Pachal already here I find just mystifying.

That's now 5 guys on the depth chart some of these young dmen have to jump to get even semi-significant minutes with the big team. Is a couple week callup in the big league such a monumentally bad idea for development for these players? They're not newborns with soft spots on their skulls. As much as the org might think they know where a player is at NHL ready wise you can't be sure until you actually see them playing in the NHL.

Even though no one seems to want to say it out loud the results this season don't really matter, and in fact it would be beneficial for the franchise to be out of the playoff race in the spring. What actually is important is seeing progression from the prospect pool. We have 5 young dmen with the Wranglers that could realistically be ready for a cup of coffee or more callup this season. But no Tyson Barrie needed a job and we obliged him.

Sharangovich is week-to-week with LBI

I mean, that makes sense. Playing in the AHL (since he was eligible) lets them focus on his professional development after a rough season for that. He just played his ass off and absolutely beat out a few people who were considered favourites for this spot.

I always felt that way too but I was in the extreme minority
