How is this possible? He has a full NTC. Doubt he would waive

Well this seems completely reputable and not at all unverified.

Nonetheless I hope this happens.

 

[Mr Snrub]

I'm pretty sure it's a modified NTC, he submits 15 teams he can't be traded to.

That kicks in next year I believe

 

[DCDM]

Be still my heart.

 

[FerklundCGY]

The only team I could think of possibly wanting him is St. Louis, who seemed to love him. But they're super tight against the cap

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Vegas with a prospect would be my guess

f***

There's always Vegas, but I doubt he wants to play for an expansion team.

Took the words right out of my mouth. I don't know who this guy is, though, so I'm a little curious as to the legitimacy of such a rumour. I'm hopeful, but until I hear something from someone Calgary based or a legitimate analyst/insider, I'm not holding my breath.

There's a club statement.

Then there's an insider confirmation.

Then there's an insider giving a rumour.

Then there's an insider speculating.

Then there's this.

So I'm not getting too excited.

Pretty much. I would imagine there isn't a lot to this.

There's no need for your logic on these boards.

I feel like this is someone that's heard Brouwer is being shopped and interpreted that as Brouwer trade is imminent.

Wideman was "being shopped" for almost two seasons; we saw how that turned out.

 

[Dack]

Despite his Twitter account looking like a nobody Dhaliwal is actually pretty damn good. He's called a lot of things in the past I'm getting excited.

 

[Calculon]

Dhaliwal has legit connections with the Canucks. So, please please please please please please

Actually though, getting rid of Brouwer likely entails giving up a good prospect to get it done. Kind of torn on that.

Wouldn't actually be all that surprised if Benning inquired about Brouwer, and Treliving turned him down. Despite his reputation on this board Flames management seems to really like Brouwer.

Can you link to any of these things he's called? This is the first time I've heard of the guy, so I'm curious about what he has actually called.

Probably just looking for follows from people searching Twitter for Flames-related stuff in the wake of the Jagr signing.

There are much easier ways for him to do that if that is all he is after.

I think as mentioned above the most likely scenario is Brad trying to move him with Jagr on board and it is more of a shopping situation then an actual deal being close.

Cant link cause on my phone but I remember him calling the kulak signing earlier in the day that it happened, also called Bouma signing with Chicago. He has connection within the Vancouver organization so I'm not too sure how he would know much about brouwer though.

That'd make me pretty angry. Regardless of whether you like him or not, with the Jagr signing he's now our 4RW. Being given an opportunity to escape from a 4.5 million dollar contract for a fourth liner is a no-brainer even given Brouwer's leadership.

I don't disagree but you could make similar arguments about Stajan and I think most people would agree management moving him is unlikely for similar reasons.

Sure, but Stajan isn't nearly as overpaid and is in the last year of his deal. Brouwer's contract is likely one of the worst league-wide (if he plays like last year), Stajan's really is not awful in the grand scheme of things. One would be nice to get rid of, one you more or less have to as a GM.

Besides, it's a moot point because we're trading Stajan to Columbus for Anderson

I don't know how to imbed tweets but off the top of my head he's gotten:

Franson PTO
Bouma to Chicago
Vanek signing
MDZ signing
Glass PTO
Horvat contact (might've broken first but he confirmed it early)


He's very connected with Vancouver and players born there. At the very least I don't think he's an Eklund type to just throw stuff at a wall and see if it sticks.
