<p>Friends, it&#8217;s finally Deadline Day! The trade deadline is mere hours away!</p>
<p>As we refresh Twitter awaiting trades, let&#8217;s dive into the mailbag!</p>
<p></p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Not sure of rules around the August world Juniors have been clarified. Are countries able to invite new players and have a camp? If so I&#39;m guessing kerins has played himself into a pretty good shot at team Canada.</p>

<p>The national junior teams will have new camps and can bring new teams, but everybody who was eligible in the December/January tournament will still be eligible in August.</p>
<p>Depending on whether or not some original Team Canada players are available – their NHL teams may want them to rest up for training camp rather than play in this tournament, or the players may have that preference – Rory Kerins will definitely be on the World Junior radar. He&#8217;s been excellent for the Soo Greyhounds.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">If any offer comes up for Monahan, should we just take it? Assuming he&#39;ll waive his NTC?</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>The big question is this: what would the Flames be trying to accomplish with a Sean Monahan trade? He&#8217;s a really well-respected player in the organization and in the locker room – he&#8217;s worn an alternate captain&#8217;s A for most of his time here – and it&#8217;s not about jettisoning him for his cap space necessarily, it&#8217;s probably also about finding a good spot for him to rebuild his game.</p>
<p>They won&#8217;t be trying to sell him for magic beans, is what I&#8217;m saying. It&#8217;s got to be to the right place at the right price.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">&#8211; % on Monahan getting traded? I think it’s very unlikely but I have this bad feeling we’re in for a shocker tomorrow <br />&#8211; Who will the Flames pick up for depth on D?<br />&#8211; Stick with the new line combos for now or go back to the original?<br />&#8211; Thoughts on Jarnkrok in his first two games?</p>

<p>Rapid fire answers:</p>
<ol>
<li>Before the deadline? I give it 25% chance of happening. His cap hit is a lot to take on mid-season, but I could see the Flames making something happen at the draft.</li>
<li>I would guess somebody like Dean Kukan or Mark Pysyk or Brett Kulak. (Guessing.)</li>
<li>I think Darryl Sutter will roll out the new lines against San Jose, but I also think he&#8217;s going to keep shuffling up their lines to see what works and to see what different dynamics can emerge. The whole point is to prepare the team for a (long) playoff run, and you&#8217;ll need a bunch of different styles of game and line combinations to win playoff series.</li>
<li>You can see that Calle Jarnkrok is still figuring out the nuances of the Flames style and system so far, but he hasn&#8217;t looked out of place at all. In a week or two, he&#8217;ll really start finding his groove I&#8217;d imagine.</li>
