Confirmed with Link: Flames trade Pelletier + Kuzmenko + 2025 2nd, 2028 7th round picks to the Flyers for Frost + Farabee

[Lunatik]

Have we figured out lineups yet?

Hub/Kadri/Posp
Cole/Backs/Cor
Far/Frost/Shar

I suspect we split up Frost and Farabee,

Farabee is more of a goal scorer with a little jam to his game, he could be a real good fit with Huby. I wouldn't change the lines at all really, simply input Farabee into Pelletier's spot, and Frost into the spot Kuzmenko had been playing on, except with Sharangovich sliding over to the wing.

Huberdeau - Kadri - Farabee
Coleman - Backlund - Coronato
Sharangovich - Frost - Pospisil
Lomberg - Bishop - Klapka

then when Zary returns, slide him into Pospisil's slot and Pos into 4C and send down Bishop

I do suspect we see Rooney in one of the games before the break to keep Bishop under 10 games, so he can be sent down during the break.

Edit: fixed the lineup, I had a dumb

Huberdeau - Kadri - Farabee
Coleman - Pospisil - Coronato
Sharangovich - Frost - Pospisil
Lomberg - Bishop - Klapka

Is our captain waived here to double shift Pospisil?

Kind of wild how apparently no one remembers anything from the rebuild all of 10 years ago

If this causes Backs to suddenly not be in the line up for any reason, I am driving down to Lethbridge, kidnapping you and dropping you off in Edmonton wearing an "I hate McDavid" tshirt.

Dont build around a 5' 8" left winger?

No idea what Farabee’s like on his off-wing, but if it isn’t an issue, I’d probably swap he and Pospy in your top nine. It’ll be interesting to see how they line up when Zary gets back.

You want to move Backs to the 4th really (where he belongs now, anyway).

I don’t disagree, I just wouldn’t want to disrupt anything with Coro, he’s played really well with Backs and Colesy. If he starts slumping, we’ll banish our captain to the nether realm with Lombo and Klapper lmao

Well that was a hell of a brain fart

But since I apparently perfected cloning Pospisil, I will just clone myself as well and let you take the clone.

He’s played both about evenly and doesn’t care which side he’s on.

Hey fellas, I had a busy day at work yesterday but just couldn't stop thinking in the back of my mind about how excited this team is becoming and that all those early mornings are really worth it- win or lose, this team has been exciting most nights.

I am so grateful we now have such personable but also very smart and astute GM in Connie- what a legend.

Also, we have Ryan Huska who reminds me of a young Cooper...

We are destinated for great and our time is coming.

I am so pumped up about this latest day light robbery of a trade and can't wait for the new boys playing for us- Ryan will 100% help them to evolve further, playing for the shirt.

Thanks to Pelts and Kuzie who were 2 great characters and special in their own way and I wish them nothing but success.

Back to sleep now as it's coming to 03:30 soon We speak tomorrow, Detroit, we are going to bite and break our luck vs you! Can't wait!

It's actually kinda funny how few forwards we have that don't play multiple positions, it really leads to so many possible line combinations.

Pretty much just Huby, Naz, Backs and Coronato are one-trick ponies, and that ignores than Huby did spend time at RW under Sutter and Coronato played some C in college.

Or do. We ended up being legit contenders with that build in spite of neither of the two drafted cornerstone centres panning out. Imagine 2022 if Bennett was a true 1C and Monahan was an elite 2C that year. He'll, imagine if we didn't do Hamonic.

I'd roll the dice on that build all over again for sure. Lots of room to do even better, but it was still pretty good.

Too bad Bennett isn’t a RS center. He’d be a perfect free agency pick up.
