Looks like Hartley isn't afraid to mix things up he has coached Tanguay before so it could be interesting.

As long as he doesn't put a Kostopolous type of player on the 2nd line.

I am fine with TKO on the second line as long as the second line is
Jackman-Jones-TKO and they never see the ice

Thats probably true, stop depressing me

Similar to most of your lineups.

Tangs-Cammy-Iginla
Glenny-Cerevenka-Hudler
Baertschi-Backlund-Stempniak
Jackman-Stajan-Comeau

Bouwmeester-Wideman
Giordano-Sarich
Butler-Brodie

Kipper
Irving

I think they'll slot Cerevenka as the #2C and see how he does and adapts to the NHL, if he does well I can see him and Cammy switching.

If he does play well, I could see Hartley sending down Tanguay to centre the 2nd line, while sending Cammy to the left wing.

[Tim Erixons Dad]

Cammy-Tangs-Iginla
Glencross-Backlund-Hudler
Baertschi-Cervenka-Stempniak
Jackman-Stajan/Jones-Comeau

I like Backlund with Glencross and Hudler, I think that could be good.

I don't like Backlund with Baertschi, too much inexperience on one line considering such a veteran lineup.

Swapping Hudler and Stempniak would work too, if you wanted to stick the Czechs together.

That's contrary to the latest I've heard. Care to share said findings?

Tanguay said on 960 he's been asked to move to centre.

Trade Request pending.

This will be good to use tangs at center. Not because he is a face off specialist or anything but because he see's the ice better than anyone on our team. He has the legs and endurance. His biggest obstacle like he said will be timing. Same problem Cammy had when they moved him over.

He is more than capable of playing that role and I don't think he needs to overhaul his style of play. Just timing and obviously his positional play. If he gets good, can't be any worse than our current line up down the middle and it does sort of solve a log jam on LW.

And to add to that we have a coach who will dress forwards playing offense. Not 17 defensemen, 1 goalie and 1 Iggy.

He really likes playing for Hartley I am sure he will give it a shot at least.

Forgot the

[TheHudlinator]

Does anyone know if Steve Bégin and Steve Mcarthy are still invited to camp?

I knew you were kidding but I was just pointing out he would most likely be willing to try what ever Hartley wants since he has wanted to play for him for a while.

I would like to interrupt this discussion and say:

F#CK Yea we got Flames Hockey back!

It will be certainly be a nice change of pace.

Also, I wouldn't be opposed a Backlund-Baertschi combo. Could be a kid line of sorts, especially if they stick Horak or Nemisz on the other wing.

I would kinda like to see them play with a goal scorer like Hudler to give them a target for play making as they are both pass first players.

I was more interested in the Cervenka being ready for camp (medically cleared to fly) news.

That's not a bad idea either. Maybe stick Cammalleri there for a time too, if the first line isn't clicking.

I think we are all forgetting what Stajan proved he could do when put on a line with talent. He is a solid #2/#3. I think he will do just fine with wingers like Hudler and Baertschi.

Sven sure can finish himself though

Typically he isn't a goal scorer which is why I would like to have him with a legit finisher.
