I have been the one drumming up the optimism this off-season.. but I just can't think of anything positive to say about this move.

Treliving and his consistent need to add horrible depth defensemen strikes again. Now Valimaki is going to have to carry this bum, and Mackey rides the bench.

What a brutal signing.

Ah yes, the great ice hockey skills of being big and mean.

Big and mean is a skill, and it still has a place in the game

 

[Nanuuk]

Works for me. I thought he might be on the Flames radar.

 

[InfinityIggy]

I feel it is not possible for me to understate just how much I hate this signing.

Tre, if you're just gonna sign guys Sutter wants you ought to resign and just let him run things. Total joke.

 

[Breakers]

Guddy has been in the league for what 10 years?
Maybe longer?
The Flames could have the greatest NHL coach in history.

He refuses to learn and still doesn’t know you have to gain center ice before shooting the puck in.

it is so funny watching him literally feet from center ice with nobody pressuring him just hammer the puck down the ice for an icing.

Hahahahaha!!!! What a f***ing awful offseason

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Fills the void when Valimaki is traded to Buffalo as part of the Eichel package.



I, for one, look forward to deployment of Zadorov - Gudbranson on a regular basis.

 

[DCDM]

Plot twist: we're trading him to Buffalo for Eichel..................... right?

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

We need new management

You might (definitely do not) like it, but this is what a $5.7M defensive pairing looks like.

 

[super6646]

The more I see our moves under sutter the more I feel my initial thoughts were all the more vindicated. I’m praying he completely bamboozles me and makes me look like an idiot.

I will be entertained. For all of the wrong reasons. But I will be entertained nonetheless.

Ottawa whipped us

he played for Ottawa, he must be good

Forget that they benched him

Treliving’s mental gymnastics
