shouldnt be a problem we got pearson, sutter, edler, benn, spooner and baertschi off the books next year = $ 20 million
What I'm reading is that next year's UFA period, Calgary will be signing pearson, sutter, edler, benn, and baertschi.

Markstrom was a great signing by Calgary
losing Brodie for Tanev was awful though

balances out

Bad take, but this is one of those situations that could go either way for both players.
Giving goalies term well into their 30s is never a great idea, regardless of the goalie. I think Markstrom will continue his elite play for 2-3 season and then regress, but hopefully for Flames fans, he can still be at least an average goalie for the latter half of his contract.
I haven't watched Brodie much, but Tanev is still a very solid top 4 shutdown dman who is an absolute warrior in shot blocks. Whatever offence is lost from Brodie, he likely makes up for in defensive play.

you know what's funny, the point of us not signing Stetcher actually was to free up room to sign at least 2 of Toffoli, Tanev Marky.

what a joke of a GM. Jim Benning's gotta be so embarrassed right now.

If it’s cheap I’d be okay with this. Our D depth still isn’t great.

Gio-Tanev
Hanifin-Andersson
Valimaki-Stecher
Kylington

looks a lot better than
Gio-Tanev
Hanifin-Andersson
Valimaki-Kylington
Petrovic

And since Calgary is collecting former Canucks, want Eriksson, Sutter and Baertschi back too?

We'll cut you a great rate.

Somebody tell Brad that teams are interested in James Neal or Kris Russell. he will probably start going after them too. Just habit.

At least you still have Sutter and Demko instead of a top pairing D!
