7th rounder in the AHL draft.

This is bad. There is this vacuum of stupidity coming from the front office and I’m not talking about Stan alone. It’s like they priced themselves out of trades to preserve the team so they can make a last ditch effort to make the playoffs, which they won’t make because they suck.

Now when the season is over, we will have to package sweeteners to dump players to make cap room to sign players we want to retain. So there goes Beaudin and Mitchell and whoever else because numbnuts McDingleberry can make a marketing statement.

Thanks for this factual behind the scenes update. Makes perfect sense

That’s about what he’s worth. Addition by subtraction.

Return is a mid round pick for gus

I’m guessing you’re back reading and haven’t caught up yet...let us know when you’re joining us in the now.

I'm guessing a Conditional 4th that becomes a 3rd if the Flames make the Playoffs and he plays 10 games. Becomes a 2nd if the reach the Conference Finals and he re-signs

"Guessing" being the key word here...

I'm in on that. Just to make Elbows day.

No one wants him. Injuries are our only hope.

You think reacquiring Oduya was a bad move?
- paulr

Yes I do. If you looked at his numbers and play before being required he was clearly on the decline.

Just like bringing Shaw back was a risk that was well known with his history of injuries after he left.

Isn't that what we're all doing? Care to venture your own guess or do you plan to just continue to b*tc# about things?

3 days to get this nothing deal done...WTF...this guy had 60 pts last year...

@EricFrancis, the #Blackhawks have traded Erik Gustafsson to Calgary for conditional picks.

- Taylorst1

You don’t think the fact he won a cup in 2015 with the hawks didn’t make it worth the trade?

It was non existent for some time now. Another blowman fail.

I wonder what they could have landed for Gus last deadline or during the off-season...woof.

60 point defensemen, don't get you very much these days!! Oh my!

- walleyeb1

Tsn.ca/NHL verifies that Flames are working on finalizing Gus, fir what is not yet reported. Just toggle down and see.

Forbert, Kings dman also to Flames for a 5th

T Ennis to Edm.

Hey now if Athanisou plays with McDavid least he can skate with him. But Gus converted to wing would give them a fine passer and shooter. LOL. Just wait Gus will move again

And how did Duclair not get traded?

- RedRevenge

Wrong.

Gus is a world Class PP QB. You thought it was bad before...just wait.

Scoring 60 pts once in a career doesn’t make you a 60pt defenseman, it makes you a fluke.

Ek reporting Patrick Kane is available. 🤣🤣🤣
