With Johnny Gaudreau, Josh Jooris, and Jykri Jokipakka out with injuries this week it lead to Derek Grant, Hunter Shinkaruk, Emile Poirier, and Brett Kulak being recalled from Stockton on an emergency basis. We’ll recap how all four kids looked in their first game of this recall and Dan and Matt disagree over who we might see back in Calgary next season, and in what role.

Former 2012 1st round draft pick Mark Jankowski and the Flames are expected to seal a deal this week, and the Flames are a front runner for European UFA Daniel Pribyl. We debate the merits of burning the first year of a contract, and if it’s worth going after European free agents with the Flames track record recently with European UFAs.

We look ahead to the next week and predict if the Flames can finally break the ‘Honda Center Curse’ or if they’ll end up in the history books for the wrong reasons.
