It'll help for sure. I also think the Panthers are far better than their record dictates. A 9.3% team shooting rate will do some ugly things to your win-loss totals. I'd look for a breakout here from Mackie Samoskevich in particular. He's got the fifth-most shots per game on the team but only two goals to show for it. Second question – Lundell is miles ahead of Bennett right now. I wouldn't be surprised to see him flirt with 70 points.

Most surprising coach who could be fired?

Craig Berube, for sure. I know regular-season expectations for Toronto were tempered, but they're hurtling toward lottery territory right now. Their defensive structure has collapsed. That might be a product of an aging D-corps, sure, but something has to give.

I know that Murray Edwards and Flames management seem to "like the core of the team," but this can't go on for much longer. At what point, or how many points out of the playoffs do you think they'll finally recognize that it's time to punt? Or will they try to go for a Chinakov or some band-aid solution to revive a nonexistent playoff hope?

I don't think one precludes the other. They can pursue offloading Kadri, Coleman, Andersson, etc. while still being involved in change-of-scenery pickups. In fact, I think that best describes what Craig Conroy has done over the past few years. I don't think the plan will change.

Alright folks, that's the hour. Thanks for the great questions today!
