Keep hearing the flames have been doing a lot of scouting on teams. What do you think they’re looking for Todd? What’s the price of a capable backup these days? |

Tough lose for sure Smith played extremely well and deserved the win ... What a pass by Brodie in overtime on the winner though!
On the bright side Sam Bennett's pointless streak is back up to 4 games, what are the chances he hits double digits again? |

Meh, GG has got his homework cut out for him.
Time to get this team playing up to their potential. Even in games where we have dominated the scoreboard the defense has looked questionable. Last on the PK is also not acceptable. |

Can't see the guy getting picked up. Maybe Vegas as they seem to go through Tenders like whipper goes through bottles of crown. |

I think they pulled some voodoo to trade places with the oil in the standings. Just need to keep sacrificing goalies.

Can we please hire a shooting coach. Half our team can't hit the (frank)ing net if they tried for Christ sakes.. |

Its uncanny how well they're doing. I'm actually starting to root for them, Oil playoff hopes be damned. |

Flames waived Lack - Flamesfan_34
Now we have something to be thankful for
Lack seems like a pretty decent hombre, but we have enough character in that dressing room. I think Gilles & Riitch should have been sharing the backup right from the get go & Parsons holding the fort in Stockton. If Niemi gets picked off waivers twice it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility Lack gets plucked.

I would say Lack will clear waivers and Calgary starts the Rittich experiment. If that happens I would guess he would get at least 5+ starts between here and the end of December which has 18 games with a couple back to backs. This would be a good test to see if he has the potential for more than an AHL goalie.

We’ve been dying for a stable starting tendy for years and what do we do when we get one? Choke defensively |

IDK, said last thread that Harmonic seems to give way to much room to defenders in the neutral zone and Brodie seems the get easily flustered when under pressure in the D zone.
Makes for a pretty crappy mix. |

Hamonic will be fine. Brodie better get his head in the game. Just been awful. |

Gaudreau is getting screwed. Not even getting an honourable mention for the Hart in any of the quarter of the season polls. They even discussed it during the intermission of a Flames game and no one brought him up.
If they actually went with the description of the award, it's not even close. There's no argument that Gaudreau hasn't been the player most valuable to his team this year. |

--Buffalo needs Defense badly. Buffalo is shopping Kane.
--Flames need to recoup a first and/or second in 2018 to get back what they lost in acquiring Hamonic. Brodie has been having a bad year (but is still a top 4 puck moving defenceman). Rasmus Anderson did not look out of place when with the Flames recently - step into Brodie's spot maybe??
BT has been scouting the Sabres a lot.
How about Brodie for Kane and a 1st (lottery protected at Buffalo's insisting). I am not a fan of getting rid of Brodie at all, I'm just trying to guess at what might be do-able if BT is serious about something happening with the Sabres.
Thoughts?? |

We’ll take Brodie off your hands. Give you Russell, a 2nd and a 1st for him. I know it’s an overpayment, but when I look at your avi I just can’t help myself. |

If Kane was a RW I could see interest. Has he ever played on his off side?
Have not seen enough of Not-so-fat-Rass to think he could slide in and take Brodie's minutes.
Also Kane is going to want north of 7 mill and is a Douchecanoe so can't see it happening.

I'm starting to wonder if we don't give Gio enough credit for how much better he makes his partner?
Outside of a few solid stretches, Brodie has not really looked very good since we split him and Gio up... |

In my world of Make belief I like to think that GG has challenged Brodie to hold onto the puck more and try and become more of an elite possession style D. Brodie is just figuring it all out.
That's gotta be it........right? |
