Had another 2 pts last night (and would’ve had 3 if huberdeau converted on the breakaway). 63cf%, good shit

After a slow start (points wise, not quality of play), Pelletier now has 6 points in his last 6 games with the Flames. He has been an absolute bright spot in the top 6, don’t think many people expected him to fit in so seamlessly so quick.

He was on the bench absolutely floored hyping up and hugging Huberdeau (who looked lowkey tired or depressed or something lol) after Huberdeau's goal last night. Love to see this kid's energy - he's gonna be a locker room favourite I think.
Huberdeau was probably looking at the kid like "hmmm...... so that's how you score points for Calgary..."
Honestly didn't realize how fast he was until he made the team, kid forechecks and back checks like crazy
But Lucic has hart and sole and also a massive ego with veteranism and stuff. I want that rather than these kids that try hard and have talent.
Should lucic be an everyday player? No, but I don't get where the kids don't get the chance stuff come from. Philips looks like just a guy in the mins he played, duehr impressed, Pelletier really impressed and now both are on the team.

Yes. Lucic’s stares from the bench don’t cut it for top 6 minutes anymore.

Not good. This reeks of a recovery that lasts 4-6 months from shoulder surgery.

This isn't even the worst news for the org in the last 24 hours (Snow). Ugh.
Last time we had a shoulder surgery concern for a prospect, I believe it was Sam Bennett. I was also looking forward to Pelt's enthusiasm as a regular mainstay for the team. This is brutal.

I don’t really blame Studentic. It was a bad decision by Pelletier. I hate seeing players cut and turn towards the boards like that. It’s a high-risk move. Yeah Studentic hit him and technically it’s illegal, but I don’t think there was any ill intent. Just bad timing.

It appears he is healthy, so he could still salvage 35-40 NHL games out of this season.

I was just about to come here and ask if anyone had any updates. Conditioning stint?

He was a bit streaky in the Q but adapted his game really well to the AHL. Hopefully he get can sneak some games in at the NHL-level

Obviously Kuzmenko is the one in this trade garnering much of the attention but can see Pelletier (+10 for the Flames) fitting into the Flyers lineup. A former first round pick, he was overshadowed by Coronato and Zary with Calgary. There should be an opportunity for him with Philadelphia.
