Good morning Calgary Flames fans!
Just before bed time yesterday, Flame For Thought re-introduced Johnny Gaudreau. When I first started the “re-introduction” series, Johnny Gaudreau was listed on the Calgary Flames website under “Flames Roster” tab. Earlier this week, Gaudreau was moved into the “Flames In the System” tab. If you take a look at the 14 players listed on Flames Roster tab, who does Johnny Gaudreau supplant to get his playing time?
Flames sign Lance Bouma http://t.co/YZ5BfqsbfM RT for "Woohoo" or Favorite for "meh" #flames #nhl

The response to the above tweet was unanimous: “woohoo”.

Are you into Fantasy Hockey? NHL.com has listed Calgary Flames defenseman TJ Brodie as one of their “sleepers” for the upcoming season. TJ Brodie scored 4 goals last season, while NHL.com may project him to score 6, I will go out on a limb and project him scoring 8 goals this upcoming season. Here’s the TJ Brodie specific piece:
"The defenseman broke out last season with a career-high 31 points and is poised to hit even higher marks in his fourth full NHL season. No one on the Flames played more minutes than Brodie’s 1,949:06 last season, and only captain Mark Giordano faced better quality of competition, proof that Brodie did not have sheltered minutes with his production. Brodie, who has a cannon of a shot, makes a perfect No. 4 defender on a fantasy team.Projection: 6 G, 31 A, plus-4, 26 PIM, 9 PPP, 110 SOG"
Have a great day Flames fans!
