They wanted him at the deadline and he was willing to go. They couldn't make the salary work. It's definitely a place he would go back to, especially since they are winning and if they offer more money than Toronto.

Not sure where you’re getting any of that. They didn’t want him back at all. There is no place in the lineup for him and they didn’t want him back in the room.

if I were less mature, Id make a Mitch trying to hijack the convo joke

but its too soon

If I were him I’d buy a Ford F-150.

Ya but now the he is a Leaf would his Nonna let him go? That's the big question here!

I mean I do think Toronto is well in the running for his services if they want him back.

Since they won they have had 4 first round exits in the playoffs. #DynastyofLosing

Clutterbuck and Martin are the closer guys. Maybe Pageau but I don't know enough of all the players. That team just has that "hard working, bit dirty" play in them.

That's what all the reports were at the deadline. That Calgary wanted him back but due to the expansion draft rules no team could retain salary.

Took me two seconds to google it.

In recent history, Vegas moved on from McPhee as the GM and they have made moves to make moves and have only gotten worse in the process.
- Aaron_85

McPhee got bumped up and McCrimmon became GM. They didn’t miss this year because of being worse they missed because of a multitude of key injuries all year. They’ll still be a force next year.

You don’t make any arguments that hold water…ever.

it jack leaves, his RC will be back to $3 instead of $100

Sell low.

No there was speculation from some talking heads in national media but here in Calgary it was never an option. They didn’t want him back.

I am pretty sure you told me Vegas had a game in hand and only 1 pt out of third place in their division so they were a shoe-in to get in the playoffs. So far you haven't had a take actually work out with your absolutely statements.

Also proved you wrong on the gio to flames thing too. How about you come with facts instead of blowing hot air?

Considering someone just proved one of your arguments to be wrong I think you need to check yourself and hold off on the insults about the posts of others.

First line of the article.

“According to LeBrun, the Flames weren’t close on reacquiring Giordano”

He didn’t prove anything. Check the story. First line in the article is how close were they to acquiring him. According to LeBrun not close at all.

First line of the article.

“According to LeBrun, the Flames weren’t close on reacquiring Giordano”
- TurdFergeson

"The hockey world was abuzz on Sunday afternoon as the Toronto Maple Leafs acquired former Calgary Flames captain Mark Giordano from the Seattle Kraken. According to TSN’s Pierre LeBrun on Insider Trading, the Flames were interested in getting Giordano back but an expansion draft and CBA rules quirk prevented them from doing so."

Context is a wonderful thing. The first paragraph is here and just as I stated. It was due to the expansion draft and not being able to retain salary. You said they had no interest in him coming back and I proved you wrong in that. Don't move the goal posts to fit our narrative.

you said they didnt want him back, but that article sounds like they did want him, just couldnt make the cap work

Again your argument is they didn't want him back at all. That is what the article discusses. #movinggoalpostsbecauseIcan'targuewithfacts

Well that section in the CBA is talking about traded players not ones picked up in the expansion draft. So I not sure they know what they are talking about.

It’s a flames nation blogger. So not exactly a great source.

That doesn't change the point Calgary wanted him.

Let me know your sources in your point...go ahead. I'll wait.

is this real life?

On what? A blog from flames nation that specifically says they were not close to bringing him back at all??
