I know I say this a lot.Holy Overpay. Please, everyone keep handing out these huge contracts to bottom 6ers. Next one for Calgary is 6x6 for Maroon. Get er done.
Seemed like a bad signing at the time... Haven't you been wrong about something? Or are you just a f***ing genius all the time?I know I say this a lot.
But how the hell are Oilers fans still so brave to post **** like this LOL.

He did play a lot with top 6 quality wingers in Carolina. Guys like Skinner that he wouldn't have in Calgary.Did it though? I mean in his two seasons with Carolina he scored at 15 goal 37 point pace which is pretty solid value for a guy making 3.125m. Some comparables are Riley Nash, Matt Calvert, Michael Raffl and Jay Beagle and Ryan ended up outproducing all of them,

True, though 3.125m is kind of 3rd/4th line tweener money (especially for a centre) with the cap it is where it is.

Edmonton would kill for this player. They don't have much for good contracts on that team. Klefbom is ok, Chiasson but that will go up and doesn't count. The rest are on par or way too much (Koskinen, Lucic)I know I say this a lot.

Treliving was on the radio (FAN960) yesterday talking very openly, especially for Treliving. He talked about the price (asking) for top players at the deadline, he talked that for over two years he was trying to land Lindholm and Ryan. 55 minutes of great Flames and hockey conversation.
On a side note, there was a lot of rumours over the year that this wasn't the trade that most flames insiders thought. Apparently there was a trade, allegedly with St. Louis that fell apart last minute and the Flames pulled the Carolina trade off instead. Does anyone have details about it? The guys on FAN960 were talking about it at the trade deadline but couldn't talk about the pieces involved because it was all of the record.
I think a lot of people (myself included) are still really struggling to come to terms with the new salary levels overall.
Derek Ryan is being underrated here . He will be a great add for Flames just wait and see.
Can a Flames fan post their lineup please

To be fair, I didn't love this signing at the time either and loved the Czarnik signing. Just shows how easy it is to get it wrong.
He's not overly strong and isn't a great skater (he's not a bad skater, just not overly good either), but if he gets some time and space, he can make plays.
I think he's a strong skater. Many of his points this season have come from nice edgework or fancy puck rushing. His insane shot suppression ability is also thanks to his ability to cover the defensive zone with his skating and still recover.
No, he's not going to be talked about the way guys like Byron, MacKinnon, Point, Larkin, or McDavid are, but he's a very good skater.
