I am rooting for Red Wings, Devils, Ducks, Sens, and Sabres.... actually not Sabres... I think they have locked down the first place like couple months ago

Flames need a very strategic retool or full-on rebuild... I think treliving will do big moves prob after the season than at the trade deadline.

We were just missing a top 4 guy so bad. Wideman was spiralling and had filled that role prior to the incident.

Are you KelownaMan on Reddit? I think I just replied to you if so.

Not me.
I made reddit a couple years back, friend sent me the picture. I’m a builder in Kelowna and every project I do I paint a flaming c on the gable end along with ya baby. Get lots o comments, people remember the company. Had Dube’s aunt stop by on her bicycle ride to take a picture, I think she’s the one that put it on Reddit.

Has more to do with the assets than acquiring the player at all in my view. The cost was just too high for what he ended up being as a Flame. Hurts because Dobson was drafted with our pick, but had Hamonic been what we'd expected, I would have paid that price anyways. He was still young enough at the time and was well thought of.

We gave up the same to get Dougie and no one batted an eyelash when he came in and started to produce right away.

Hamilton was a steal from Boston
Hamonic totally different player definitely filled a need at the time, but the price was steep and it was probably too soon to sending more 1st round picks away.

Treliving can’t fall asleep at wheel here. He needs to move any ufa’s for picks before we get nothing. This isn’t rocket science, next few days should determine his fate as GM next year.

I can't believe that Hunkelese is actually gone for the remainder of the hockey season after he lost his bet. I miss his arguments

Such a weird year.

There are problems in the room. Would love to learn what happened. I think we are going to be underwhelmed by the TDL and the offseason. But we will see what Tre can do.

Hoping they fix the room first, no chance of winning anything unless they do.

Have we traded anyone yet?

Gotta be some deals in the works. Sounds like Bennett is campaigning to stay now, so wonder if it's just going to be Derek Ryan/Michael Stone etc that might go for 3rds and 4ths come Monday

It took Palmieri and Zajac to get a late 1st, so we’re not getting anything great for our guys.

Just barbs with other teams fans, and we can't even do that with any pride, well besides to Canuck fans.

Umm, we haven't played in 2 weeks and you're still behind us in the standings.

Agreed.... I think the Nemeth trade tonight is indicative of what a Ryan trade will look like.
Nemeth with 1.5 million retained gets you a late 2022 4th.

You do realize being behind in the standings is a good thing right now?

I'll take the draft pick...especially this year when we don't have to suffer through games in person

Not sure how Brodie played for the Flames.....but he has been a massive upgrade for the Leafs....kids (mathews) are also getting better...but Brodie is the biggest single reason they are so good with the lead and have hit another level.

....this may have been a huge mistake letting Brodie go, he's actually better then Gio, and made Gio better then he is...

can the Kraken offer the Flames one of their draft picks, so they don't have to pick a Flame in the ED?

The good news is that there are a bunch of UFAs that Calgary will not miss and some insignificant RFAs. The bad news is the balance of the roster, a highly questionable GM and a grumpy old coach. However there is a ray of light....you don't have Skinner's contract or Taylor Hall in your dressing room.

The very first bit of heavy lifting this organization needs to do is to show Brad Treliving the exit and then take it from there. If Treliving stays nothing will improve for this team. In fact it will only get worse.

If I am GM of any other team, who o the Flames roster am I interested in? Definitely not Johnny, Monny, Gio, and above all not Turtle. $6m goalie? No thanks. Lindholm would be the only Flame that I would answer the phone on, as a 2nd or 3rd line center.

There are some places that you are better off not spending any time. One of them is Tisdale Saskatchewan. Another is Sportsnet comment boards.

You know you’re using your time well when you’re copy pasting sportsnet comments. Brodie is great until his D partner gets injured. Then he turns into a turnover machine.
