Speculation: Armchair GM 2024-25 Season, Craig Conroy's Can Do Calgary Flames

Then why couldn't we have made a package for Nemec last year? Although I like Jiricek's snarl a bit more

Because he was never available? With the Dougie injury he was playing over 20 minutes a night last year

 

[Body Checker]

It was teams like Minnesota that had the shot at Jiricek as their 1sts are not expected to be top 10; no team that might draft top 10 in 2025 is trading that for Jiricek.

With rumor that Pelletier and Duehr coming up I think on Tuesday we will see a Lomberg-Rooney-Duehr 4th line…..Pelletier/Barrie/Bean as spares…..Kirkland/Mantha on IR

 

[Some Other Flame]

No point calling up Pelletier to be a healthy scratch. He'll either play on the 4th line or higher with someone else (e.g. Kuzmenko) getting scratched.

Kuzmenko playing his way into cap dump territory again is really annoying

He's a poor man's Kristian "useless" Huselius

I'd scratch Kuz.

Hubby - Zary - Pickles
Pelts - Backs - Coronato
Rango - Kadri - Popsicle
Lombo - Rooney - Duehr/Klapka

I think something isn't right with him and I mean that in a sports psychologist, mental health kind of way. I also hope he figure it out. Earlier in the season I seem to recall watching a post game interview of him and he seemed so down. Like Ben Affleck melted face interview level down.

I hope whatever can cheer him up and make him play with some confidence returns.

Sucks that Kuzy wasn't able to put it together to help us get a bit of value out of him.
It would have been nice to get another 3-4-5th rounder, but at this point it looks like he'll ride out into the sunset and go find a new home in Russia next season.
