Confirmed with Link: Flames Acquire Galiardi

[Zirakzigil]

Love this move. 4th in 2015 is nothing. He is big, fast and a pest. Feaster is doing exactly what he said, hes bringing in younger, bigger and faster players.

 

[Beats By CoRD]

Now is he going to be used on the 3rd line? Because he played well as the physical grinder on San Jose's top line. Maybe Glen-Camm-Galiardi...swap Barts and Glen if you like

He will def be given a shot at the top 6 ala David Moss. I mean **** we had him as the top-line center for a couple games. *shudder*

 

[StreakingRed]

Well done, Feaster. Great deal.

 

[Kipper933]

I've always liked Galiardi, he'll add some grit and a bit of a pest element to our lineup. Hopefully he can re-find his offensive game he showed in his rookie season.


If we could pick up the (recently unqualified) Halischuk as well, and stick the two of them on the wings of Horak, I think that would be very effective.

 

[herashak]

we will probably be able to trade him away for more at the deadline if it doesnt work out

you missed the other 2?

Hahah I remember that, good god.

I try not to.

 

[Flames7676]

This is great for us and it was only a 4th.

 

[Hand of Gaudreau]

What about this?

Baer - Backlund - Jones
Glen - Monahan - Hudler
Cammo - Knight - Galiardi
Reinhart - Stajan - Stempniak
Granlund - Horak - Hanowski
McGrattan


Brodie - Gio
Wideman - Butler
Cundari - Breen
O'Brien

Ramo
MacDonald

Potentially Granlund comes in and impresses which would put Mona back to the O, same with Aliu... We still have a glut of forwards that take up the same roster spots...

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

I think it is a great trade for you guys!

 

[MarkGio]

A pretty good deal!

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

You guys fleeced us.

 

[BRobMint]

Feaster might just be the best GM in Western Canada...

 

[Anglesmith]

You guys fleeced us.

I don't think it's fleecing when you trade away a guy you were going to let walk in free agency. Wilson could have Koala-fied him, and chose not to, so getting anything for him is a bonus.

Not exactly a grand achievent these days but it's still an achievement!

 

[KiwiFlamesFan]

Absolutely stoked with this trade. Loved watching the guy play during the playoffs this past season. Welcome home TJ!

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Feaster might just be the best GM in Western Canada...

Wait. That's actually true.

 

[DCDM]

Feaster might just be the best GM in Western Canada...

Well now I just feel bad for Edmo...

Nope, can't do it.

 

[InfinityIggy]

I think im the only person not really that excited about this.

Good value no doubt but can't see him being much more than a 3rd line guy. Not bad for a 4th I guess.

He seems really excited to be here though, I think he will fit in well. Good job Feaster.

T.J. Galiardi called the signing a "no brainer," and said he's wanted to play for the @NHLFlames his entire life. #NHL

More Galiardi: "It's kind of a dream come true that it's finally going to happen."

Kristen Odland‏@KristenOdland
More Galiardi (who, in case it wasn't obvious, was pumped): "When they said Calgary, I didn't really need to hear the other teams." #NHL

Free Agents don't want to sign in Calgary, we are a rebuilding team with no future. #HFBOARDS

To add on to that he was tweeting about the response from Calgary to the flood before the draft so he isn't kidding when he says this.

WELCOME HOME TJ! Great to have you!
