Hey I had a question, I have not seen many Flames games this past year. why did you not offer Joe Colborne a QO? 26 YO big forward with 44 points last year.... seems odd to me. is there something going on with him?

His ask is higher than the Flames want to give. Plus he has arbitration rights and the worry he could be rewarded $3.5 + which management doesn't want to pay. I think they may still try to get him under $3 mil.

Just the fact at arb he would get more $ because how he finished the season. So the Flames didn't qualify him and hope to sign him to a friendlier contract.

That would just be the best. *sigh* the best.

ok thanks. like I said something seemed weird that a young guy of his size was not locked up. wouldn't be surprised in another team tried to sign him up.

What's his connection to Calgary? Calgary is a fine place to live but it seems a little weird to pick it as the place for your summer and retirement home when you have the means to live anywhere on the planet.

I dont like JC. He is ok, but not worth 3.5mm. He is like Shean Donovan with slightly better hands.

Haha Hall for Larsson and RNH for Barrie just seems absolute bass akwards!

No way Chiapet is dumb enough to make that Hall trade then steals away Barrie for RNH.
