La [numbers](https://flamesnation.ca/news/dennis-gilbert-is-the-flames-best-depth-option-on-the-blueline) ne mentent certainement pas dans ce cas – Mackey a été horrible au niveau suivant parmi les Flames supplémentaires D. Ayant regardé des matchs à Stockton l’an dernier, je sais qu’il était au mieux incohérent dans la AHL aussi. Doit-il être renoncé et rétrogradé, ou libéré complètement. Je ne suis pas sûr des options de cap hit.

I miss Valimaki. ‘Maki > Mackey.
Mackey seems to play like shit every time I watch him play on the flames.
Gilbert has been decent like he’s just competent moving the puck nothing special but Mackey couldn’t even do the basic stuff at the nhl level very good
It is true that Mackey has been bad this year. However, he didn’t look out of place in the games that he played last year from what I remember. I think he even scored a few times. I’d rather have him sitting in the box than one of our prospects that needs to play
So when does Jeremie Poirier enter the conversation? I’m not sure of contract obligations etc. I’m guessing that’s what’s keeping him down on the farm (waiver concerns etc).
Mackey has been hot garbage all year. You can tell Gilbert has spent most of his career in the Always Hungry League because he shows it. He plays every shift like it’s his last. He knows how much this call up means and he’s put absolutely everything out on the ice every game. Stone should be coming back soon but I’d have no problem continuing to ice Gilbert if Stone needs some extra time to ensure he’s perfectly healthy. In the event Kylington comes back I’d have no problem running Stone/Gilbert as our 7/8 D respectively.
Needs to rebuild some confidence in practice. He’ll eat popcorn till then.
The most concerning part is someone in the organization thought Mackey is better than Valimaki
