Flames could get one hell of a haul for their core players. Just saying

What are some good right handed forwards that can carry the puck and pot the odd goal?

Like a less talented Filip Forsberg. The Flames could use one of those

Hamilton for Stone. I think it would make us a better team.

Yes it would, but it doesn’t help ottawa so no way they do it

It does if they ship Karlsson or Ceci.

It does if they ship Karlsson or Ceci.

If they do that and signal the rebuild I still think Stone stays, young and cost controlled as an RFA. Don’t think he leaves unless there’s a drastic overpay

Mark Stone turns 26 next year so he's not that young

And Hamilton turns 25

They can but now we get a new fun thread title

Wouldn't be opposed to Hamilton for Stone if the coaches continue to misuse him like they do. No sense having a guy with his talent if you're not going to get the most of it.

Maybe but I'd rather not tempt fate. Don't want to be the one to break the database.

Fair enough

[Flameshomer]

Lindholm would be a great pickup- except there's not a lot we could offer them of value. What are Carolina's needs even? We have d prospects to trade and their d is young and good. I don't see a good match, unfortunately.



In other news: Kane at home in Buffalo, with trade deadline and free agency looming | The Hockey News

but noooo he's a terrible dude and a bad teammate.

Sounds like he is a good fit there.

Hopefully they keep him.

All I want for Xmas, Santa, is an Evander Kane.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

We have 21 year old Samuel L. Bennett, we don't need anyone else.

 

[Skobel24]

Just curious as to what others think, but will Lazar be a part of this teams future? Do you seem him as an eventual regular?

I don't think he gets extended after his contract runs out. Might even get traded in the summer for a low pick

We have a lot of players that could fill his role quite easily

My next question becomes who will be the Flames 4C next year? Because I doubt Dube is ready, and I wouldn't trust Lazar to hold that spot down.

I see him getting waived before March. If he clears, he may get some development. Otherwise bon voyage.

I think Freddie Hamilton could do well there

Definitely a possibility, especially if Calgary acquires Kane or someone else. They won't waive Stajan, and Brouwer has been decent lately. Familton likely sticks around too. Lazar seems to be the odd man out (if/when versteeg is back, I'd imagine he's waived).

 

[Baxterman]

I think he definitely should be, well as much as any bottom 6 player should be part of the team going forward.

He will be a cheap option going forward, brings a lot of energy, above average speed, versatility to play all 3 spots up front, some ability to PK and has some offensive skills (for a bottom 6er). Now if younger guys pass then kick him to the curb but he has shown enough that I think he fits perfectly as the 10-13th forward.

Will he is a complicated question because the team did give up a 2nd for him so they obviously saw something in him but at the same time they constantly sit him for clearly worse players. I think he gets at least one show me deal for a year or maybe two from the team.
