Damn, your team is looking good you guys. I will always applaud good management.

I feel a slight breeze. Did someone open a .... window?

#Flames defenceman Dougie Hamilton & GM Brad Treliving will speak to the media shortly - we will live-tweet!

Congrats to the Flames and Hamilton, this is a pretty special time for the organization and it's fans.

I do feel bad for the Bruin's fans, imagine if that was us.

The Phaneuf trade, followed immediately by Kotalik for Prust and Jokinen was close enough.

Thank God those days are over!

Treliving: “part of this process was creating an internal salary structure”
Has Monahan and Gaudreau up for deals after next season.

It's pretty neat that we live in an age where at the drop of a hat, seemingly all of Calgary's Flames beat writers can be assembled for a press conference with the biggest signing of the summer.

Would be a lot more neat if they could a) broadcast it on the radio or b) stream it on flames.nhl.com...

 

[Calculon]

Underrated but really important aspect of why it's absolutely necessary to keep Giordano around. Something the team up North has yet to figure out (thankfully).

Will be interested into watch Hall and co. act as mentors for McDavid.

Its odd to because they have been Periscoping of late.

Sounds like it was a contentious split.

Yeah, he wanted out. Good on Treliving for taking advantage of that.

 

[CraigsList]

It's been a great week.

 

[bWo*]

I'm so ****in pumped for next season

that sounded awkward as hell

 

[tmurfin]

It's a great day to be a Flames fan indeed.

Honestly I feel for Dougie he didn't receive much help from the other Boston Blue liners (aside from Chara who is aging and was injured) and it doesn't look like there were many people he could relate to on Boston's lineup due to age difference, thankfully he shouldn't have that problem here.

 

[Lunatik]

I wonder if the Coyotes would flip Gordon. Send Stajan to Arizona for him?

 

[Bouma Fett*]

I know its just past the point so its technically Treliving's second year on the job, but its hard to resist the urge to go to Bruins fans all like"ananana our rookie GM us better than YOUR rookie GM !"

 

[Tofveve]

Wow. Colour me shocked at the terms. Just wow!

 

[Bouma Fett*]

The look on the face of a coworker whose a Bruins fan today was literally priceless

 

[Rick M]

We made it past the first round without Giordano and Hamilton... Think about that.

And we made it to the first round without Bennett.

 

[Rangediddy]

And we made it to the first round without Bennett.

And Kessel

 

[GAMO1992]

Hartley didn't do anything

Neither does Burke but most of the mainboards credit him anyways.
