Rumor: Eklund: Couturier to Flames

[TheHudlinator]

or they made a pitch and Ballard chose a playoff team. which is more likely IMO

Isn't Ballard from Minny?

Isn't Ballard from Minny?

Yeah he is. Just another reason to choose the Wild over the Flames. I'm not sure why some people think that just because a UFA is available that they will choose Calgary.

Feaster said they weren't planning on doing much in FA as our problems are going to be solved from Clowes, Clarkson, Vinny etc.

NHL - Flames continued talks with Flyers for Couturier, source - Flyers require Meszaros be part of any deal, + Flames 2014 1st + prospect

NHL - Source - Flyers Meszaros expected to be medically cleared soon, at that point he can and will be traded.

What do you think ?

Meszaros + Couturier <---> 1st 2014 + prospect ?

Please stop.

Rich Smith isn't legit, if this was coming directly from Eklund it would be fine.

But since he cites Rich Smith ; it's not. Guy is bat**** insane and not credible.

I would move Gio, JG for Couturier and Mez. I may even add a 2nd, but that's it.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaa.

No.

I wouldn't even do that.

 

[Stryker Island]

Maybe (ideally):

To Flames (12.375M in salary):
Meszaros, Coburn, Couturier

To Flyers (7M in salary):
Cammalleri, Giordano, 2014 2nd

This actually seems pretty feasible, as long as Calgary retains 50% of Cammalleri's salary next season.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I wouldn't even do that.

If Janko pans out we really don't need him either. He's very similar to Monahan and its good to have diversity so opposing coaches have harder times making game plans. I do have a huge man crush on Couts though.

I love Couts, but I think Monahan and Knight make him a bit redundant. We more need a high offense guy now.

I agree, I wouldn't hate if we landed him but someone like Seguin would of made sense at the right price. I hope Janko has a huge year, then I'll get very excited.

100% agreed

 

[Zirakzigil]

Wouldn't move the 2014 1st for him. Chances are that's a top 5 pick and like others have said he's not leaps and bounds over some of the other centers we have now.

There is a thread at Calgarypuck Couturier to Flames for 1st + prospect that thefanblogger retweeted or something. Do you guys see this happening? It would put my faith back into Feaster if he could pull it off.

'thefanblogger' has less credibility than Rich Smith, so no, I doubt it happens.

In any case, the Flames first rounder will likely be a top five pick, without or without Couturier. The organization would be much better off keeping it and seeing what happens.

why do you keep bringing up thefanblogger?

 

[Lunatik]

why do you keep bringing up thefanblogger?

Because it's thefanblogger.

 

[MarkGio]

When did this fanblogger get attention of a sudden? I think people see how much attention Eklund got from making stuff up so a few extra guys decided to follow suite

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Because he's thefanblogger.

Fixed.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Guys?

It is the Fanblogger. This is serious business.




Guys?

 

[Lunatik]

Fixed.

Sadly, you actually did fix it, that was what I meant to put

Your blog/twitter aside, that would make me dislike Feaster more, not less.

Wow I'm surprised you would want that trade, I think what we could have in a top 5 pick next year would be much better than couturier. This would make me dislike feaster a lot more if it happened.
