Shitty for Honzo, likely when he got rocked last game. Might've have been why he was so upset after the hit and smashed his stick on the bench, as it was clean.

Makes sense. Wonder if Coronato will play on his off-wing or if Kuzmenko will be on the left (my guess would be the former)

I wish Huska would shake things up a little more. I would have moved Zary up, and put Coronato with Backlund and Coleman as I feel like it'd be a better fit.

I agree. I actually don't particularly like Zary with Backlund and Coleman. I feel like his poise and creativity with the puck is often wasted in the offensive zone with how those two approach the game. I actually wanted to see Honzek on that line.

Hopefully nothing too serious considering he's already missed so much development time due to injury. He didn't really stand out negatively or positively in his 4 games so far. Kadri is a bit of a weird center to play with and Kuzmenko stinks in his own zone.
Wonder what the plan is once he's healthy. Would also like to see him play on the Backlund line or maybe even a turn at 4C for a game or two.

Agreed. Zary has had some wonderful chances and plays on that line, but it’s being wasted given that Backs and Coleman play a more meat and potatoes game. Idk if coronato is really a better fit on that line, but I think Honzek definitely would’ve been.

He was probably coming out anyways when Sharry comes off the injured list. Too bad. He doesn’t look out of place out there. Has had some good chances.
Sorry to hear he's injured but if he wasn't he most likely would have been sent down to the Wranglers in the near future. He just wasn't cutting it with the Flames. Not sure what happened with the guy who scored 7 pts in preseason but he wasn't playing for the Flames these past 4 games.... although he was improving with each game played.
If the Flames call somebody up I think it might be Hunt.

most of his preseasn points came in the first few games where it was mostly AHLers and vets aren't going all out in any preseason games. That's why the preseason means squat

35-40lbs is an insane amount of weight. He would absolutely lose speed if he put on that much. More realistically he needs to gain 15-20 pounds, which will probably take him an entire year with proper nutrition.
Whoever owns Celebrini’s junior rights should be thrilled then, he couldn’t make it through 1.
Cmon man, it’s bad that I knew the second they showed him shaken up on the bench I saw this comment coming. He showed he could atleast hang in board battles, but he got smoked like every young guy has in the league. If getting smoked meant you weren’t ready for the league, there wouldn’t be a U23 player in the league.
Nobody who watched him play this season who didn’t have a terrible take to defend thought to themselves “this is definitely still a junior player”.

Congrats to him for showing he has the talent to hang. Won’t mean anything if he can’t stay healthy.
43 reg season games in his draft year. 35 last year. Not good enough.
I will even humor you despite disagreeing with the fundamental point. So you want to send him down to his junior team, where the problem has apparently persisted for 2 and a half seasons with nothing changing with it? Or would you rather give him pro resources, the same ones that seemingly made a world of difference when he started training with an NHLer and made marked improvements for the first time?
Sending him back to the same place he’s been hoping this time it’s different is the definition of insanity.

Setting up the play?
Having a concussion from getting a shoulder through your head doesn't speak to being injury prone anyway. If it was a pulled muscle or something I'd be more concerned.
In this case, he just had a welcome to the NHL moment with a hit he never saw coming. He'll learn from it. It wasn't a matter of the way he was playing (he was just finishing a check like everyone does), he just didn't expect the opponent to throw a shoulder back at him. And now he will.

I don't know why I expected yellow jersey to disappear into the Shell logo and now I'm upset that I'll never know what happened.
Not just weight but strength. I've been saying his balance looks really off. Like I can see him skate towards somewhere and try to jockey for position, but then he looks ultra off balance once he initiates contact. It wasn't just against bigger players, he wasn't able to do this to get position near the net against guys almost a head shorter than him IIRC.

He's back tonight in Utah playing with Coleman and Backlund. Klapka to the Wranglers.
I thought it was a 50/50 chance Honzek would be sent down once he was healthy.
