Confirmed Trade: [CGY/ARI] Troy Stecher and Nick Ritchie for Brett Ritchie and Connor Mackey

[beakerboy]

Doing a favour to Stecher. Phoenix only plays Anaheim once more. Calgary plays them three more times. 3 times the chances to take a run at Zegras.

Very convienent, their parents don't need to learn new addresses.

It's so awesome being a fan of a team that never manages assets. It was great losing, Iginla, Kipprusoff, JBow, Phaneuf, Giordano and Gaudreau for nothing. Then watching Brad swing a homerun trade that enabled the team to finally rebuild this year and next. Then watching ownership decide to move a 1st to dump Monahan so we could replace him with a boat anchor for 7 year. Then watching ownership force Brad to extend to 30 year olds to monster retirement contracts.

I don’t kno why but this trade feels kinda cruel lol

and teams don't have to buy new jerseys

Are Nick and Brett brothers? If so how many times have brothers have been traded for each other?

 

[Jive Pawnbroker]

"We just traded for your brother!"
"Sweet! Who's leaving?"
"You."

It's the cherry on top of a spectacular week of trading.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Wouldn't surprise me if Ritchie is given a shot in the Flames top 6. Sutter LLLLLLOVES his big grizzled vets that pass his height requirement.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

I hope they take on each other's jersey numbers and want to wait to see how long it takes the common fan to notice there's something off.

Treliving is just a puppet in the Flames office. 100% Flames ownership makes all the calls.

Yup. I don't blame Treliving. We all have bosses. I think he's a smart guy. Norman Edwards the British taxpayer is a stain on this city and province.

They are and I was wondering the same thing

 

[Bounces R Way]

Tre just pushing his peas and carrots around on his plate to make it seem like he ate something

 

[namttebih]

Can someone from either team explain this to an outside observer?

[Flukeshot]

I hope they both choose to keep their brother's number so that they can keep the Jerseys exactly the same.

Arizona was probably like, sure we'll take Brett but you have to take Nick because we're not going to pay for the extra B. and N. letters.

Coyotes get a younger defenseman with some potential, Flames get a slight upgrade in a couple positions hoping they can catch Seattle as for the last 40 games or so they've played at the same level as one another.

 

[Djp]

If they use the same numbers the team store doesn’t need to discount.

 

[PuckG]

I don’t kno why but this trade feels kinda cruel lol

Watching all this happen is even more cruel.

 

[Fig]

We traded for Ritichie and grabbed a depth defenseman??? I am so ready to be angry!

*Checks trade details*

 

[InTheBox]

Calgary has to be the favorites for the Cup now

 

[Zirakzigil]

Pretty solid trade for both. Flames get better and by loving a prospect that wasn’t working out there.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

NHL to nix this deal as it has determined that Arizona illegally made a hockey trade

This was just a cash saving measure. They won't have to get new jerseys made up.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

This would’ve been a move I’d be more happy about if the flames were good this year. Just looks to entrench Calgary in that beautiful 9th place spot

Huh? We literally upgraded our roster for free. Odds are Mackey wasn't getting qualified anyways and N. Ritchie is an upgrade on Lucic
