Trevor Neufeld: Final Cuts

Being a better overall player than Zad or Gudbranson is not saying much.

Thanks Trevor. Let's start the season

Thanks Trevor!
As expected, Sutter did not betray his guys even though they are less talented.

Thanks Trevor!

So what is the final lineup looking like?

If these are your final cuts then get ready for the lottery.

What talented player was cut...and the Flames don't start for a week. Why wouldn't they assign the guys who don't need waivers?

Duer can go up and down as they please if that is who you are talking about

Let these young guys play. I think they will be up sooner then later anyways. When the flames are Losing 10-12 in a row I guess coach S will make a change with some young guys. Might be a rough season

You guys see this?

20 games in, we'll have a better idea of how this team performs under Sutter and what Tre's future is.

Thanks Trevor!

CapFriendly have Stone and Kylington and Gawdin listed on Minor deals. Can only have 23 max active and you had 24 so at least 1 has to be moved.

For me the big question is what to do with Vali. Kylington outplayed him. Cannot send Vali down to Stockton without placing him on waivers.

Between Gudbranson and Stone Flames only need one. Pick your poison.

I smell a trade coming.

I missed a lot of the presesaeon but from everything I read Stone was a lot better than the Guds.

Richardson on IR.

$300k of cap space, very tight.

Yes, Mackey & Duehr. It would be surprising if Gudbranson, Lewis & Richardson would be assigned to Stockton, they have been friends of Sutter for several years. Also, we have no more room in Stockton.

Duehr surprised everyone. If they would have expected he could compete they probably do not sign Lewis.

I am guessing they were also not expecting Kylington to have such a strong camp.

Yeah, nice surprises. Richardson is day-to-day and none on the roster is waivers exempt. Maybe sending down Gawdin or Stone. I don't know if we need 8 D. Gudbranson making $1.95M is crazy.

As usual, people are putting way too much stock in the preseason. The games are meaningless and veterans are only focused on making sure they're ready for the start of the season. Wait until at least game ten before saying Duher and Mackey need to be on the team. Getting to work on their game in Stockton is only going to make them better anyway.

If Gudbranson can be physical and not be a total liability, he brings much more to the team than Mackey. One of the biggest problems the Flames had for the past few years was how easy they were to play against. Lucic was the only player you had to keep track of. They probably overcorrected with Zadorov and Gudbranson, but it's worth at least ten games to see how it works. Montreal made the finals with a bunch of big, slow defencemen.

People also act like there will never be an injury over 82 games

who needs 8 D?

every team ever lol
