Who else screamed "NOOOO!" Or out loud when Benning said "Vancouver selects, from the London Knights,...". And then became extremely happy once you realized he then said "Olli Jule I" ?

They do say that the worst bet is against a streak to end.

I mean trade proposals.... I recall them being pretty ridiculous...and now we get Tkachuk for free lol
funny how the draft works...moving up a few spots almost never makes sense at the top....you would think the Canucks could have traded down a few spots for Juolevi too....

remember when some guy said trade Hamilton to the Oilers for the 4th overall so we could grab Tkachuck?

Granted, but those were also with the idea of having 4th to grab Tkachuk, and also still having 6th to grab a guy like Juolevi or Sergachyev.

And more said from the stand point of "if they are going to do it", not from actually wanting them to do it.

What's the take on Ortio.....keep or not? What if BT was to deal for Neuvirth whose hit is 1.65M. That, I believe, would give the Flames a great tandem at just over 4M. Plenty of $$ to grab a top 6 RW.

Great day for Calgary, congrats!
I may have to get the NHL Package this year to watch more Flames games....I wanted The Sabres to move up for Tachuck...and wanted Monohan to fall to them a couple years ago. Flames may be my 2nd favorite team!

Sabres are putting together a very nice team as well. Very exciting time for Flames and Sabre fans.

Anyone think it would be a good idea to trade for Okposo's rights?

Or Lucic's. I read a tweet (can't remember from who) that said the Flames were front-runners for Lucic. With the money saved with Elliot's amazing contract and if they could move Widemans contract, I think Lucic could work here.

With that said, I'd be fine with Okposo instead of Lucic.

This weekend would be a huge success if we could now move some contracts out!

Morning Franks,

Has anyone done their homework on who should be drafted with the 2nd's today?

I would not mind going in on Okposo.

I love what Lucic was, but not sure what he will be in 5 years.

St Louis took Myrou with our pick. He was definitely a guy I wanted at #35.

Dube and Parsons are interesting projects. If one works out, I'd be happy. You can't go wrong with a goalie here.

I was against trading Dougie...but imagine if we would've made that trade for the 4th. We could've grabbed Pulju and Tkachuk (or sergachev but why bother we have fat Rass afterall )
