It sounds like there is a large amount of enmity toward Treliving in Calgary and a reluctance to deal with him.

Ownership seems very upset with how he left the organization.

VanJack could legitimately be AI.

I've thought this for a while.

there were four buyers rumoured for tanev. two of them are division rivals, and one employs their old gm. if calgary doesn't really want to deal with any of them then they have only one buyer unless the other guys offer a premium. so you give it some time for that toe happen, make a last call, then strike a deal with dallas. don't forget the hamhuis lesson of what can happen if you spend too much time and effort trying to squeeze the last dollar out of dallas for an aging top 4 dman at the tdl.

that's all fine and fair, but it isn't March yet and i highly doubt there weren't other teams sniffing around. off the top of my head jersey, tampa, boston, vegas, st.louis..

if gms are this skittish i find it pretty sad, my personal opinion. lots of teams within striking distance

Ownership seems very upset with how he left the organization.

- cost them sutter buyout?
- cost them long term contracts?

i mean letting a guy do these things with no contract for the following year is kinda their own doing but meh.. enjoy it weiners

I think they are upset that they offered him a contract extension and instead of taking it he chose to leave the mess he created.

Oh absolutely, wieners

If he gave in on this one to 'focus' on the other two woof

Either overwhelmed or impatient

I doubt that is true, but if it is, then that is very Benning-like. Too focus on one task then "ran out of time" dealing with others. I'm not sure what kind of GM Conroy is yet, but I'll give him (or any new GM for that matter) the benefit of the doubt.

Oh maybe .. i would hope these guys can handle more than one thing at a time

I have a feeling that Treliving is going to go all out for Hanifin.

Seravalli is saying that Hanifin is kind of holding the Flames hostage. Said the teams he's heard that Hanifin would be willing to re-sign with are the Panthers, Lightning, Kings, Golden Knights, and Bruins. Only a couple of teams are willing to acquire him as a rental.

holding hostage is kind of a poor choice of words to describe that scenario. any return the flames get on a pending ufa beyond rental value is a bonus not an expectation. they can't expect hanafin to agree to give up his free agency rights and sign for a team he does not want to sign for just so the flames can get more assets for him. they just have to hope his wishes line up with a trading opportunity.

surprised they could not beat the dallas offer if that is the case. seems like confirmation there was a treliving premium.

I remember Hanifin is a LHD???

The Leafs only need to trade for a cheap stay-at-home RHD to guard the center of the ice when Rielly is "roaming" the offensive zone.

It takes almost 4 years for him to find out JT/ Nylander does not work, give him some more time.

Oilers & Knights:
-Oilers and Knights could end up in a bidding war for a forward
-Mark Stone out of the regular season and questionable for the playoffs
-both teams looking at Tofoli, Buchnevich, and Eberle

Tanev:
-Oilers, Canucks, Avalanche, and Maple Leafs were the four other finalists
-Maple Leafs not willing to move a 1st in a Tanev deal
-Flames like Grushnikov
-one of the trade offers had a 1st round pick but was attached to a player with term going with it

Other UFA Defenceman:
-Flyers and Coyotes weren't thrilled at the Tanev return
-Tanev move has set the market
-Coyotes committed to moving Dumba

Maple Leafs:
-Dumba makes a lot of sense for them
-Lybushkin has garnered some interest but Ducks aren't fully committed to moving on from him

Hanifin:
-as of Thursday, nothing close on the trade front
-Bruins and Lightning really covet him
-may go right to the deadline

 

[StreetHawk]

Hanifin, per the main boards, massive difference if he's moved as a rental or somewhere that can sign him to an 8 year deal immediately. So, see how that works out.

i would f***en hope so

haha i’m imagining conroy’s playbook is just a piece of scrap paper that has "do the opposite of what benning would do” written on it

How did Treviling leave the Flames?

 

[VanillaCoke]

Marner playing defense for the leafs 5v5, and they scored lol



Also F blackouts

 

[Tables of Stats]

How did Treviling leave the Flames?

He put one foot in front of the other, then got into a car, and eventually got on a plane. Any other questions?

 

[LemonSauceD]

Stankoven is going to be Brayden Point 2.0. 3 goals now in 4 career games.

 

[wonton15]

Call up Klimovich and put him beside Miller right now
