Not sure that's the imagery I would have gone with.

I think it's normal. Most normal people don't go to P Diddy and Epstein parties.
Oh, so it's normal to be the guy in teh corner at an orgy....


Wooo Beanie Baby!

The Flames have had Basha out on their #1 PP both shifts. He just had a great chance 5v5 too.

A poster on CP mentioned at the draft that one of the jerseys with name bars that they brought on day 1 was Basha. Clearly he was one of the guys on their radar at 28. He also was the only 2024 day two pick not in the first round of cuts. I think they think pretty highly of him, easy to see why, he looks great for his age and draft position.

It's weird being in a corner with everyone watching unless you're trying to do a move off the turnbuckle in WWE.

Knocked Soucy over with a nice reverse hit a little earlier. Not sure who he reminds me of yet as far as a player comparable.

I'm pretty sure some teams bring jerseys with velcro nameplates and have nameplates made for the top however many guys on their list

Yeah the was funny. I'm not sure either and to be clear he's not NHL ready nor is he having a great game but he's impressed in Penticton and preseason so far.

Yeah could be. I've only known them to bring a fairly small handful of nameplated jerseys. I just remember the guy saying in the draft day thread that he saw a name he liked on one of the Flames jerseys and followed up saying it was Basha. I think they viewed him as a first rounder.

very possible, he may have been the guy they expected, but didn't think Gridin would be there. Regardless I'm quite happy with our draft

Certain parts of Basha's offensive game certainly reminds me of someone who played for the Flames recently but I can't quite put my finger on who.

I almost want to say some of his highlights reminds me of Kylington or an offensive dman, but I dunno why. Maybe Mangiapane or Coleman? I'm not sure.

Edit: a comparable that popped up was Toffoli. I'll have to watch more to see if the comparison makes sense.

There is no room for Pelletier. It’s just not there
Bull. Shit. At worst he'll be the 13th forward.

We'll likely run 13 forwards.
  1. Kadri
  2. Sharangovich
  3. Kuzmenko
  4. Huberdeau
  5. Pospisil
  6. Mantha
  7. Zary
  8. Backlund
  9. Coleman
  10. Coronato
  11. Lomberg

That still leaves 2 more spots... and you don't think Pelletier will be there before 2 of Rooney, Duehr, Schwindt, Hunt, Kirkland, Bishop and Frk?

This also assumes Coronato makes the team despite not having a place in teh top 9 right now and we run 8 defensemen

Coronato should absolutely have a spot.

Pelletier hasn’t come close to nailing down a spot. Rooney/Hunt/Duehr all have more established NHL track record and will more easily slide into a 4th line role

Kuzmenko-Kadri-Sharangovich
Huberdeau-Zary-Mantha
Coleman-Backlund-Coronato
Pelletier-Pospisil-Lomberg
Rooney/Hunt

Weegar-Miromanov
Bahl-Andersson
Solovyov-Bean
Pachal

They can definitely fit all of Pelletier/Coronato/Solovyov into the lineup. The only question is will they? Like, if they sign Barrie, there isn't really room for both Solovyov & Pachal assuming Bahl is healthy. One of them would have to be waived on top of Hanley & Tinordi.

And up front, everyone knows Huska really likes both Rooney and Hunt and wants them in the lineup; so it wouldn't be all that surprising if they waive Pelletier and hope he sneaks through so he can get regular playing time.
