The retros are coming full time to make way for the return horsehead 3rds. This is just the first domino to fall.
But for real, the Flames are a team that does very little to acknowledge their past unlike the guys up north who overdo it, yearly. There's pretty much no trace of the Flames years between 1992-2003 on the internet and it just feels the organization is trying to act like nothing outside of the 80s, 2004, and the Twitter era of sports has happened.
It would be pretty cool if they did a couple one-off nights with the horseheads or pedestals this year and shined some more light on their respective eras even if they were filled with the Flames taking fat Ls and almost relocating. There were quite a few cult heroes to come out from there that no one talks about except for the fans

I think you are right until the horsehead part, I think the 3rd could end up being the '04 home

When Gaudreau's contract expires he'll be 29 years old. I think fans need to get the family thing (his mom and dad) out of their head about him leaving for free agency to play for Philly to be closer to his parents. He'll be a grown ass man. This isn't a slight against you crackdown, just a generalization with all Flames fans as I think this is a stupid argument for a guy who will be near 30. He'll hopefully be starting his own family by then. I get him wanting to play for his hometown team, but I don't think he pulls a Tavares if the Flames can A) be competitive and B) pay him his damn money.
But I like Tre's strategy to keep players happy, bring their brothers to the organization. Like Matt Gaudreau sucks to be honest, but put some $ in his pocket and you know that'll satisfy Johnny.

I honestly wouldn’t even be shocked to see some kind of Blasty alternate at some point.
Flames have yet to find a popular new ‘alternate’ the last handful of seasons.

Lol @ the thought of Gaudreau ever leaving. How is he going to replace his deck chairs and cornhole set
What’s he supposed to do, get them repainted? Money doesn’t grow on trees
Here’s a link to the full tour of his New Jersey summer home

Setting up the play?
I feel like he should have probably gone for the retro theme on the cornhole set. Those are going to look hideous in retrospect after the club switches to retros full time.
He's going to end up wanting to repaint anyway, and at that point, he might feel like he might as well just switch clubs. :/

He's also going to have to remove the Flaming C from those Adirondack chairs when he realizes they were only there for a season and used the Atlanta logo

Oh man. That's a troll article if there ever was one. Love it, though, especially because it's outside my jurisdiction.

Bill Peters discusses the upcoming season - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community
“Looch will get some time with Monny & Johnny... More or less inferring that if someone goes after Johnny, they will have someone on 1RW to deter this behavior.”
Whenever I think this organization won’t shoot itself in the foot, they do stuff like this...
I hope to god it’s just banter on the radio, as this would just be a perfect metaphor of our shitty off-season.

I hardly think this means that Lucic will get a look with them to like, produce
The way he’s speaking here seems to mean that in a game where we’re up a couple goals or the game is out of reach he’ll put Lucic out with Johny to make sure no one takes any liberties. I don’t see a problem with that
Didn’t watch the podcast (don’t think it’s up yet), but I’d hope that is the case. Just have a hard time giving benefit of the doubt for this organization at times, but we’ll see how this plays out in October.

I love Lucic. Seriously this deal is up with the Iginla and Kipper trades.

Stoke me a clipper.
It may also be that he plays with them on the PP.Bill Peters discusses the upcoming season - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

I’d hope that isn’t the case either... we had one of the best #1 units last year, don’t see that a smart choice. Probably shouldn’t be on the second unit either tbh.

As far as I can tell when it came to power plays Peters mentioned how Lucic could get some looks on the second unit as a net front guy.
Separate from all that, he mentioned how he would want Lucic with a right handed centre and a lefty on their off-wing... sounds like a prime recipe for a Lucic - Ryan - Mangiapane fourth line.
Probably the one thing I agree with is the idea of a lucic-Ryan-mangiapane line. Makes more sense than a lucic-jankowski-bennett line to me imo.
