Neal - returning to form (anticipated)
Valimaki
Dube
There's some solid "deadline" pick ups...…………...point being is we have lots of depth
I saw (heard?) a rumour somewhere that it was Frolik going the other way and he used his NTC to nix the deal, any truth to that or is it pure bs?I have to say, I wonder what Brad will be doing come draft day.
I'm curious to see how he approaches the draft this year. In the past 5 years, we've made 3 first round picks; and we've traded the other two for top 4 D that we could either cost control or who had term left on their deal.
I kind of wonder if the Zucker trade materializes during the offseason when there's more negotiation and wiggle room.

Edit: mainboards.
I do not understand all this talk about peasants like Dube and Valimaki when we have known playoff superstar Alan Quine waiting in the weeds
Not for this season but I fully expect to see him up here for the playoffs and then you never know.Dube's a good prospect, but do you seriously expect him to be a factor this season?
I hope we use
as the goal song for all 20 of his playoff goals
A la la la long,
a la la la lan Quine
Lots of people on the main boards now saying we are 5th or 6th contender in the West.. even though we are first. Crazy the bias of TDL deals, especially considering we did a complete overhaul of our roster in the summer.
It's pretty amazing. None of those teams have even played a game yet with their new additions. It's not as though making a trade at the deadline magically fixes all those teams' issues. And it's not as though the Flames are going to see those trades and proceed to lose every game. They still control their own destiny. They're still in first, with games in hand on other teams.Lots of people on the main boards now saying we are 5th or 6th contender in the West.. even though we are first.

I say this as a huge fan of Zucker. Frolik + 1st for him (as reported) would've been a ****ing disaster.
