I also looked on NHL.com at RH centers, currently aged 26 and under, there are literally just 30 of them that have played in the NHL this season and that's not even factoring in the "middle 6 component" also mentioned, and that NHL.com is notoriously slow for changing the positions of players that move from C to wing.Literally says the age group and right handed and so everyone naturally mentions loads of lefties and a lot of blokes in their early to mid 30s.
It's cool to I dunno, maybe actually read what the GM is actually looking for, but hey let's throw more random names that don't fit any of the criteria except position.
The vagueness in Conroy's search is the issue for me.I also looked on NHL.com at RH centers, currently aged 26 and under, there are literally just 30 of them that have played NHL this season and that's not even factoring in the "middle 6 component" also mentioned.
I'm sure literally almost every team in the NHL is looking for this.
The vagueness in Conroy's search is the issue for me.
Where is this C supposed to fit?
Kadri
Pospisil
Backlund
Kirkland
Seems like the upgrade would be at the 4c spot just at quick glance there. Which would mean they can slide Kirkland to LW and scratch Lomberg. Otherwise they're just looking for a top 6 C and that's gonna cost a lot and I don't think that is the real intention in his search.
Pospisil is outplaying the performance Lindholm put on the last year.The Flames should've looked harder at that Elias Lindholm guy in FA, PPG to start the year.
If the Flames start sucking again, I'd throw out an Adam Henrique and draft picks for Rasmus Andersson proposal. When Evander Kane comes back for the playoffs the Oilers will be really deep at LW and could easily shift RNH to replace Henrique as the third line C.
Agree, one of the best under 26 centers there is.The Flames should've looked harder at that Elias Lindholm guy in FA, PPG to start the year.
Vagueness? His search is supposedly for a 20-26 year old right handed middle-six center. That is the opposite of vague, it's extremely specific. It returns a list of fewer than 30 NHLers.The vagueness in Conroy's search is the issue for me.

How about a Derek Ryan reunion?
To Flames: Derek Ryan, Phil Kemp & 2nd rounder
To Oilers: Rasmus Andersson (25% retained)
so heres my question, does pospisil look out of place and/or better suited for the wing? In terms of stat watching it looks like he has started the season off well offensively but i also see he is 43% in terms of faceoffs this year, in fairness last year he was 45% which is better but not by muchThe vagueness in Conroy's search is the issue for me.

I'm sure a Flames fan will help you out with that question.so heres my question, does pospisil look out of place and/or better suited for the wing?

thats the only guy i see in your top 9 that the coach would think about putting on the wing imo
maybe the plan is
kadri
center
backlund
just throwing it out there and looking for input
With the Flames luck, they'll upgrade on Pospisil and then Huberdeau will immediately go cold for the rest of the season.That's the confusing part and Flames fans agree. Seravalli is saying we're inquiring a middle 6 C.
Even if Conroy was earnest in his search for one, there's no way there's serious talks about trading anyone of that calibre right now.

Now, that doesn’t mean using assets to help improve the team would be completely off the table. If it fits the vision. Conroy has said publicly he’d like to add a young (think 25 and under) and NHL ready centre to the group, for instance. And according to Frank Seravalli’s report earlier this week, that search remains active.
But a complete detour from the path the team is on doesn’t seem in the cards, even if Calgary’s strong start turns into a strong season.

(think 25 and under)
Holmberg or Kampf would be available potentially.
