There's really no chance that Honzek makes the team. He still has a bunch of stuff to work on. As long as he has the right attitude, some time in the AHL would do him some good. If he's lighting it up, take the same path as Zary or Stankoven did last year.

It would be idiotic to try and send Pelletier down. They're not supposed to be contending, so there's really no reason not to push him hard for two-three months to see if he's actually a bust. With all the complaining the fanbase has done about asset management, how is trying to send him down even a option?

There's been a lot of overreacting to the preseason as usual. We see young players look like stars all the time, and more often than not, they wilt once veterans start caring about games. Kobasew was a preseason star, Jankowski was one of the the best preseason players in the league the one year, even last year, Coronato was routinely the best player on the ice during the preseason. Preseason games are meaningless.

Thanks Trevor. Honzek gets a game or 2 just as a reward and motivation. He’s going to play for the Wranglers most of the year and may be an injury call up later.
Let’s see how Morton gells with Lomberg and Klapka. Nice interview with RL, him giving AK praise for the way he’s playing and how he likes playing with him.
D is going to be a tough decision, would we rather lose Hanley or Solovyov to waivers?
Huska needs to make some tough decisions on the group, would hate to see someone sent back based on waiver eligibility, not a good message to give.
Is this game on SN? Or Flames TV?

Pelletier needs to get his head out of his a$$ and start playing hockey. Maybe we can get a 3rd for him if he keeps playing Mr Invisible.

I have a Kobasew signed jersey, kid played for the Rockets and is from.my hometown of Osoyoos. I wish Pelts could become 1/2 as good as him.

Pelts is really fighting it. I still think they need to just run a French Connection line. Try and have some fun out there.

I still remember being so excited for Ales Kotalik to bring his preseason momentum into the regular season. 🪦

Can we get some Kuzmenkoappreciation for that OT goal on Monday night? He pretty much faked out every Krackin player on the ice then just slides the puck over to Kadri.
