Hey guys!
Been watching this board for years, and finally decided to make an account! Im a flames fan that lives in Edmonton *puke* but please dont hold that against me.
So fist off just wanted to introduce myself, and secondly... God damn. Who hurt all of you? This is the most negative fan boards on this site I think. Doesn't matter what this team does, doesn't make anyone here happy. Its quite sad to see actually.
I agree that its not what I was hoping, but some of the moves you can't really hate too much. Tre has his ups and downs, but don't think he did a terrible job today. Here are some of my thoughts..
Coleman - I personally have liked this guy since his time in Tampa, and really think that he will work well in Calgary. Considering it was rumored that he wanted 6M+ a season, I can't really hate the 4.9M price tag. Also helps out the right side.
Zadorov - Dude is an animal on the back end. Gives this team a whole heck of alot of bite, and makes us harder to play against, which we haven't really had on the back end since Reggie left. Should also keep some people honest out there, and take some of the pressure off Lucic to fight.
Lewis - Another dude who has played for Sutter, who is a heavy guy, and hopefully adds to that fourth line and eats some minutes.
And last but not least...
Eichel - Dude is a stud, but a couple of things scare me about him. #1 is his injury. How bad exactly is it? Even if we aquire him, I think it would be a miracle to see him play before Christmas, and do you honestly think given the aquisition cost that this team will be in contention when he rejoins it? And thats the other thing, is the aquisition cost... I would hate to give up Chucky for him, and I highly doubt that a package centered around Monahan would get it done, if it was the Monahan then its gonna be alot of the guys I personally am excited about to see come into a flames uniform in the next few years.
Anyways guys, nice to meet you all, and hopefully I can contribute to the conversation in the future!
Cheers,
