GDT: Calgary Flames (31-25-6) @ DETROIT RED WINGS (15-44-4) 5 pm MST

[Bounces R Way]

Bare minimum win from a bare minimum team.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

I don't want to trade Johnny just yet. Mony only for the right price, maybe in a package. He's still got good trade value.

But I do love Mangi.

Ih I don't want to trade Gaudreau at all. But it's inevitable since he gets all the blame for that line's embarassing 200 foot play

 

[Volica]

Gotta love I check in on a game we won thread and it’s a bitch session. Never change kiddies, never change.

 

[Calculon]

Now it all makes sense. They're don't want home ice in the playoffs.

 

[Khrox]

Seriously, why isn't Kylington-Brodie a thing?

Normally I'd agree. But if we did it right now while Gio AND Hammer are out, that would imply a Yelesin-Stone, Yelesin-Davidson, or a Davidson-Stone pairing (assuming they keep Hanifin-Anderson together).

- having a strong top 4 is way more important than a decent 3rd pair. You can pick and choose icetime for the 3rd pair. The improvement a Kylington-Brodie pair would bring is greater.
- Davidson-Yelesin actually sounds like a good pairing.
- I'd be fine with Davidson-Stone too.

 

[Anglesmith]

I wonder if I'm in the strong minority here, but physicality aside, I have felt like Yelesin has not been an NHL-calibre defenceman in his stint here so far. It seems like every time he makes a play on the puck, the Flames lose ground to the opposition.

FWIW, this guy called some trades before anyone else in past years:

It's actually mind boggling how good the Flames have been on the road, because you wouldn't really think that given we're losing ground in the WC race and our middling record. We've been a complete dumpster fire at home, Rittich's numbers are a complete joke, the team can't score, no one shows up, it's stupid.

I’ve wanted Palmieri all year

Thread on the main TD Page (per LeBrun) says Canadiens are not looking to trade Tatar ...
I would prefer Palmieri over Tatar anyways...

 

[InfinityIggy]

Tatar would be such a redundant addition, I hope we stay away unless it’s cheap.

 

[2023FriendshipTour]

We're going to lose Brodie or Hamonic for nothing, which is sad. The worst part is we will probably sign Hamonic.

The game last night was pretty blah. Looking back the last even like 3 weeks.. we've lost to a few bottom feeders and now that's probably going to bite us in the ass.. typical Flames.

 

[Corpus X]

Call him. At worst he'll say no. Good luck!

 

[Basko34]

Guess he answered with yes and he is on the way. hah! :-D
Let’s see if it’s happening...
