It’s March! The Calgary Flames are back from a long road trip and remain in a playoff spot. Let’s dive into the bag of mail.
Let’s just put this out there: because Rasmus Andersson got a big raise it means the Flames will need to adjust their 2020-21 somewhere – the cap probably isn’t going up by a ton.
It’s pretty simple to presume that Andersson’s expanded role/pay grade means that one (or both) of TJ Brodie or Travis Hamonic are on their way out. But that’s only if you presume their primary motivations are cashing in and making bank. But unless one or both of Brodie and Hamonic are willing to take a pay cut, it seems likely that they’re headed elsewhere.
Erik Gustafsson is an interesting case. He shares the same agent as Elias Lindholm. He could be a Plan B in the event that Brodie or Hamonic head elsewhere.
The Rittich/Talbot debate depends on where you think Rittich is in his development. Talbot is what he is right now and even though he’s playing great this season, his age suggests that his numbers will erode at some point. Rittich is 27 and will probably keep improving. If you want to retain Talbot, he’ll probably need a raise over his current $2.75 million cap hit. Can they find somebody more cost-effective, or is Talbot their guy? Based on his age, that’s unclear.
This is a less consistent team than last season’s group. That said, they’ll need to play a playoff style of hockey to get into the post-season so they may be better set up stylistically for a playoff run than they were a year ago.
Yes.
From Wikipedia:
A multi-neck guitar is a guitar that has multiple fingerboard necks. They exist in both electric and acoustic versions. Although multi-neck guitars are quite common today, they are not a modern invention. Examples of multi-neck guitars and lutes go back at least to the Renaissance.
Today, the most common type of multi-neck guitar is the double neck guitar, of which the most common version is an electric guitar with twelve strings on the upper neck, while the lower neck has the normal six. Combination six-string and bass guitar are also used, as well as a fretless guitar with a regular fretted guitar, or any other combination of guitar neck and pickup styles. There are also acoustic versions. Two necks allows the guitarist to switch quickly and easily between guitar sounds without taking the time to change guitars.
