Revamped

Team: 2020-21 Calgary Flames

Initial Creation Date: Oct. 3, 2020

Published: Oct. 4, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Disclaimer 1: I don’t watch the flames often and the lines aren’t necessarily set in stone

Disclaimer 2: This creates quite the cap crunch but I’m confident in Treliving’s ability to manage it in some way that I’m unable to. (Potentially more moves because why not create more chaos)

It doesn’t sound like Treliving is going to move either of Gaudreau or Monahan unless someone offers a kings ransom

I believe that Tyson Barrie is still what he was showed he was in Colorado, and the reason for his decline was that not everyone can play in Toronto, and Babcock wasn’t a good coach for him and wore on him throughout the part of the season that he was there.

Bobby Ryan is able to add a good amount of skill into a already physical lineup, as well as being a good playoff performer in his limited playoff experience.

Talbot and Mangiapane were the only two Flames FA that I feel are necessary to bring back, and although I can see an upgrade in goal being enticing, Talbot looked pretty good from what I saw this playoffs and Rittich still can become a no. 1 goalie (though it’s unlikely)

DeMelo looks like a solid and cheap-ish defensive presence that can help balance out the more offensive minded defensemen or be an anchor for Valimaki as he grows.

Maroon was can be subbed for any depth player, just chose him cause apparently that guarantees a cup.

I know that Andersson deserves 1st pairing minutes but I put Barrie with Gio on the top pair to provide a better defensive presence for Barrie than Hanifin.
