Good riddance.

I could see him being a decent #5, but I think his top 4 potential is dead.

 

[FLAMES666]

The more I think about Frolik and hear what he is asking for the Flames need to stay as far away as possible. Seeking money close to 5 million a year??? Are you kidding me. That would be an awful signing. If I am Bouma and I see the Flames give a contract out like that I am asking for 3+ million easily and not even listening to anything else.

 

[Lunatik]

I'm with 666 here.

 

[MC Ride]

Remember that one time we almost gave up Monahan to sign Ryan O' Reilly?

 

[Calculon]

Good times.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Remember that one time we almost gave up Monahan to sign Ryan O' Reilly?

And the other time where we almost gave up Giordano.

Good to see he's doing well. I'm happy for him.







Just kidding I hope he stubs his toe today.

 

[Volica]

Good times.

Have to wonder how much the Avs are looking for, for ROR. I think his value on HF is completely off. I don't think he's getting anywhere near what Avs fans think he'll get, for sure.

Once ROR's agent told the Avs the $ they wanted, I think his value dropped significantly.

 

[Calculon]

I'd say the straight up value for Ryan O'PayMe is likely somewhere around a mid to late first, a prospect and a roster player, e.g. 2015 first, Shore/Wotherspoon, and Backlund/Colborne.

But there's also the possibility the Avs use him to move up in the draft, e.g. Ryan O'Money+10th OA for 3rd OA+. The Coyotes do need to reach the cap floor and the only significant RFA they have to sign is Boedker.

I would do 2015 1st, Wotherspoon/Colborne in a heartbeat

I'd need to discuss an extension with him beforehand.

 

[Calculon]

Seems other GM's want to kick some tires too.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

And the other time where we almost gave up Giordano.

And that other other time we almost got Joe Thornton...

 

[FLAMES666]

And that other other time we almost got Joe Thornton...

Or Brad Richards. But we could get him now

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I would do 2015 1st, Wotherspoon/Colborne in a heartbeat

Yeah I'd have to think long and hard about that one.

 

[Calculon]

Flames still in on Talbot apparently

 

[GAMO1992]

You gotta think Buffalo or Edmonton would be Talbots 2 destinations where he would prefer to go to get the best chance to start.

Edm: Scrivens/Fasth...yeah not the greatest tandem...
Buf: Lindback/Johnson....even worse.....

those 2 teams need goaltending badly.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

Friedman speculating if SJ can't get Dubynk they might go after Hiller. Sounds good to me.

 

[InfinityIggy]

So Hiller is available then?

 

[Anglesmith]

So Hiller is available then?

We should totally sign him. I'd do 4x7.

 

[GAMO1992]

We should totally sign him. I'd do 4x7.

$4M for 7 years....seems a little too long for a player his age
yes that was sarcasm
