Friedman: Calgary looking for a winger with "a bit of edge"; possibly a goalie

[caley]

per Friedman's 30 Thoughts

11. I would be very surprised if Stone was Brad Treliving’s only move. He’s looking at wingers, preferably someone with a bit of edge. And, even though he won’t discuss it, it’s hard to believe he’s not looking for a goalie.

Who's out there that fits the description?

Craig Conroy (AGM) said during a Flames game a while back that they are looking for age appropriate players, and aren't looking for a rental.

Komarov. We need D.

 

[Gaunce4gm]

Burrows

 

[AZviaNJ]

Ryan White for 2018 3rd.

 

[JCRO]

Matt Beleskey for your teams washing machine.

Sounds like Drew Stafford, but I think Iginla fits the bill 100% here. Most likely isn't winning a Stanley Cup, should retire where it matters.

I think Bishop should be their guy when it comes to goaltending. Flames haven't had good Karma for goaltending, all they've had for goalies are Mike Vernon, Roman Turek and Miikka Kiprusoff (last amazing goalie the Flames ever had).

 

[Foppberg]

Landeskog? (Not that I want that, but would fit the bill)

 

[dellzor]

Burrows to the Flames

 

[caley]

I would think with Tkachuk, Bouma, Ferland, Brouwer, and Chiasson, and Hathaway, Bollig, Carroll and Smith in the AHL that the Flames have already cornered the market on "wingers with an edge", and then I remember that their team President is still Brian Burke and everything makes sense again.

I wonder if Ryan White might be a fit there.

Iggy does sound like a match here. He'll come as a cheap asset. Would be pretty much an equivalent Chiasson without the needless spears and infinite more toughness/character.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

any interest in Kyle Clifford or Dwight King?

 

[1989]

Komarov. We need D.

Calgary has a small surplus of depth on defence. More importantly it's rumoured that Toronto is interested in Wideman.

Would a Komarov-Wideman swap work somehow as a basis?

Something around Chiasson + Wideman (50% retained) for Komarov? That's just to balance cap hits, but obviously pieces can chang, such as swapping Chiasson for Wotherspoon or Jokipakka to start.

Kunitz & Fleury

Kunitz & Fleury

This is certainly a possible fit for the Flames....depends on asking price......Halak could be another option and come cheaper.

 

[Johnny Canuck]

if they want a goalie, miller is a good option. he knows the coach there, so maybe he will waive.

 

[SI90]

Iggy would be awesome to see him return to CGY

Iginla blows. He shouldn't even be in the NHL anymore.

Don't get me wrong, i'd love to see him have a one more run at it with his old team and then retire, but don't expect anything from him.

Calgary has been looking for these all season.


Mantha and Mrazek for 1st round pick, 2nd round pick in 2018, Wideman( or whatever he can get), Émile Poirier, Jyrki Jokipakka, and Bouma.

 

[Mobiandi]

I'd take Iginla back to play on the 4th line and on the PP with Gaudreau and Monahan just so I wouldn't have to see Versteeg there anymore.

The team is in great need of a legitimate RW on the top line, but there's no one realistically available for us right now except for rentals, of which I would only consider taking Vrbata or Sharp.

As for goalies, no one entices me and I actually think we have a good thing going with Elliott and Johnson and really hope we stick with them

 

[InfinityIggy]

Part of me wants Iginla to come home, a bigger part of me wants him to go to a team that can win the Cup. Maybe WSH or MIN.

You can have Shaw or Gallagher.

 

[MagicalRazor]

Widemans rumored to Toronto? Calgary looking for a winger ? JVR's on the block

JVR

For

Wideman as the dump what else would work here?

 

[CanadianPensFan1]

The thought would run around maf and Kunitz for elliot or Johnson and Wideman. I believe that's the general idea.

What do you want for Gallagher?
