Very interesting thoughts on the Dmen..

Hopefully Klingburg gets it together and Verbeek can maximize his return.

Thanks! Klingberg is getting a haul. This year’s NHL Entry Draft is going to be fun for Ducks fans. Six picks in the top 100 already.🤦‍♂️


Updated the lines. Tanev plays on a pairing with Dennis Gilbert.

Weegar's not bringing back anything near what you're suggesting, especially if he doesn't figure his game out. He hasn't been awful this year, but he definitely doesn't look like a top pairing 6 million dollar defenseman. Ekblad definitely gave him a boost. Nobody's going to want to give away multiple first-round picks and still be on the hook for the entire 50 million he's due. Maybe someone would off that for Andersson.

The Flames won't be trading a defenceman at the deadline if there's any chance they're a playoff team anyway.

Has anyone heard a thing on Kylington since Tre asked for his privacy to be respected at training camp? The longer we keep hearing nothing about a possible return the more I think we wont see him this year at all. When someones privacy is respected this much its usually for good reason!

They’re certainly getting more chances. Just missing some finish.

Watching the game in Los Moches, home to Sayulita tomorrow.

Flames getting chances just no finish around the net. Fuk Markstrom can’t be the momentum killer after Lindholm gets them within 1.

Four high danger chances for the Flames. Brutal.

On the bright side, Dennis Gilbert had a great game. 21 shot attempts for, zero against. 100% CF. Not that it means much, but he’s earned another game.

Dennis the Menace is a Sutter type player. Look what he did for Gudbranson.

Have you watched any Flames games this year? He leads the team in giveaways, he hasn't done anything offensively, is out of position way too often, and is only alright defensively. Valimaki's having a better season so far.

What more should he be doing? Playing like he did in Florida to earn the contract would be a good start.

Huh? Vladar has been playing great. Markstrom has been fine & amazing at times. You going to carry 3 goalies? We dont have the cap space to have that luxury. Wolf is fine playing with the Wranglers. If we get an injury to one of our goalies then I have no problem seeing Wolf play a few games.

I was curious about Marky's performance YTD so I did some analysis with Moneypuck's data and it is definitely worse than last year but HDSV% is actually better than last year's. The issue is that as a percentage of shots on net, the Flames D is giving up the 3rd highest amount of high danger scoring chances in the league!

Markstrom's Stats:
season HDSV% MDSV% LDSV%
2022 71.7% 82.4% 97.5%
2021 69.9% 89.4% 97.3%
2020 62.0% 86.1% 97.3%

Shots on net are slightly down, but we're mostly limiting low danger shots on net and giving up more high danger chances.

Worst 5
team season HDSV% HD/Shot
OTT 2022 68.8% 12.6%
MTL 2022 77.5% 12.6%
CGY 2022 70.9% 12.6%
TOR 2022 66.0% 11.5%
DAL 2022 83.6% 11.3%

Best 5
team season HDSV% HD/Shot
VGK 2022 67.6% 6.9%
DET 2022 71.1% 7.0%
NSH 2022 66.7% 7.1%
NJD 2022 62.1% 7.4%
LAK 2022 62.8% 7.7%

Good analysis, I'm not sure Markstrom has a injury? But its pretty pathetic to look at the standings and see LA and Seattle above the Oilers and Flames? You have to wonder if the players are turning against Sutter and not buying in.

It’s what 17 games into a new team new system and you think he should be playing like he did with the team he spent years with ? That says a lot about you and you knowledge of the game and it’s players, you will eat those words his comtract is and will be a steal for its entirety, there’s not a team in the league that wouldn’t take him and his contract

You're aware he'll bascially be 30 when the contract starts and then goes for eight more years, right? They had to overpay to make sure he wasn't tempted to go to free agency. It's definitely not a steal even if he gets back to what he was.

Is he too soon to say Florida won that trade? Chucky is also gone to new team but is dominating. I am watching the video of noodles and o-dog discussing Hubby and they say Chucky is absolutely dominating every aspect of the game. They got a prime forward just about to hit his maximum and will be for years. While Flames, well you know.
