So if these predictions hold true, you're saying Battle of Alberta returns for round one!
Bring it on losers!
Then after the 1st round you guys can start talking about who looks good with the 17th pick!
Cue the discussions!

Far too early for you to start talking poop. Anything before the last season ( tne one where we had more playoff success, more regular season success and swept you head to head in the regular season) is ancient history.
We did our part for the BOA but you guys couldnt win a (frank)ing game, let alone the 1st round series to get there. You dropped the (frank)ing ball.

Now, your improved defence isnt enough to contain Draisaitl or McDavid, and after they slip past them, They can basically just pick their corners on Mike Smith. Your forwards arent really concerning, and if they surprise, Lucic, Maroon and Kassian will just beat the sh!t out of them.

So, yeah. Bring it on.

It's August! Not to early at all! Like how all the previous Flames success is now ancient history! Your as bad as the bloggers the way you twist the facts to support your cause.
Not worried about our offence. As I said before we have a more balanced top 9 you have Jesus! Draisaitle hasn't signed yet either has Bennett so that's a wash! Only way Fat Lu catches anyone is after the whistle!

WAsh? WHEn you compare Bennett to the great Draisaitl, equal parts to their respective teams, it sure makes the Flames sound pathetic.....or youre seriously downgrading Draisaitl....or waaaaaaay over valuing Bennett. One of those things. Who knows with you Tards?

Excellent response.
I bet the loser that came in here chirping is going to whine about it though.

I'd say way over valuing Bennett

There is no shame in turning out like Tucker. He was a good player for a lot of hes just no Doug Gilmour like many of you expected.

He's sure no Draisaitl either

Darcy Tucker low bridges far more than Sam Bennett. Although that does seem like something Bennett could start doing and be good at it.



Vegas has 11 NHL ready defensemen on it's roster. Why isn't Chia getting one of them? Nate Schmidt for a 3rd or 4th is a no brainer.

Now, I'm not sure if those Flamers realise this, but that Sammy B fella will be wearing the defending cup champs uniform this season!!

while a lot of their guys are somewhat NHL proven, their actual impact is debateable.
If I was McPhee, schmidt would be one of the guys I'd strongly hold on to. At least for the next couple years

But if he was available, agreed that pc should be all over that. At the very least we wouldn't be penciling gryba into a full time spot while sekera is gone. The two could battle for a spot and platoon depending on opponent etc.

Not slagging Bennett, I think there's a better than 50/50 shot he breaks out soon. A ton of promise to be really effin good.
But regardless, he does not deserve to be compared to draisaitl at this point in other capacity than where they were drafted.

Ones a top ten scorer and was maybe the best player on a squad with the best player in the world through 2 rounds of playoffs.

The other guy is barely a top 6 nhl'er at this point

I really liked Sam Bennett during his draft year because I felt that his gritty / skilled play would be valuable to the Oilers. Now I'm starting to wonder if he isn't more one dimensional than I realised.

He's no Draisaitle for sure! just a statement to get Larson talking. Sometimes the simplest statements bring out the simpleton"s coments.
But if Bennett played on Jesus"s line things could look different.

Draisaitl has shown he can drive his own line, I'm sure McDavid helped inflate his totals a little.

He's no Draisaitle for sure!

What's a "Draisaitle"?
