Might be the end of the 3M line since we need more scoring, and also since we have better top 6 RW options than Frolik now.Interesting. I thought Backlund-Frolik would be tied together.

He doesn't speak for most of us. Smith was fantastic up until his injury, then returned too soon when the youngsters couldn't handle the starters workload.Riiiight. He was their MVP up until he got hurt.
What is it with Flames fans and hating on their goalies? You’d think you’d learn to appreciate one who had an excellent season after blaming all your team failures on goalies for the last decade.
I have my suspicions that we will see a lineup like this and roll 4 lines with the 3rd and 4th lines being equal in ice-time:Interesting. I thought Backlund-Frolik would be tied together.
I have my suspicions that we will see a lineup like this and roll 4 lines with the 3rd and 4th lines being equal in ice-time:
Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Tkachuk - Backlund - Neal
Bennett - Jankowski - Czarnik
Frolik - Ryan - Brouwer
You mean not playing on a line with a top 5 centre in the world might make Neal's numbers go down after he leaves? What a deep well of hindsight you possess.Ever since he left Pittsburgh, he's never been the same, production wise. He's on a slow decline and I think this deal will look bad as early as 2019-20 season
I'd say five years is about the right amount of time to rebuild. The Flames had a horrible prospect pool to work with at the beginning of their rebuild.5 years is too long but the Flames top 9 is legit now
Gaudreau - Monahan - Neal
Tkachuk - Backlund - Lindholm
Bennett - Jankowski - Ryan
Good stuff or Calgary. Gonna be though to beat them this year with the upgrade on the forwards.
Side note of Johny and Leon
They are both stars. Both are good at hockey .
That's what everyone thought of Marian Hossa too.Also, maybe the 5x5 offer from Vegas wasn’t true? Would be surprised if just .75 over 5 was the deal breaker considering Vegas is a contender and he already has friends on the team.
Tkachuk-Backlund-Neal seems like a line that will draw a crap ton of penalties and be wretched to play against. I think this is the year the league recognize Matthew Tkachuk is a superstar.

Vegas tax = 8,25 %Bit surprised he turned down 5x5 from Vegas and now settles for 5x5.75 with CGY...
This isn’t Calgary puck. Fans of other teams are allowed to comment.
Vegas tax = 8,25 %
Calgary tax = 10 %
Cost of living seems to be basically identical too:
Cost of Living Comparison between Las Vegas, Nevada and Calgary.
Strange. Maybe he has some connection to Alberta, beyond being Canadian? He can kiss Stanley Cup goodbye in Calgary though, so the reason must be personal. Otherwise the change does not make any sense.
You really think Vegas will be going back to the finals next year?
.
Ya. But it shows how sad thr Oilers offseason has been when all you talk about is Calgary.
So Oiler fans aren’t allowed to comment on the mains unless it’s an Oilers transaction?
Shows how sad it is that all you do is make up stuff about fans of other teams and don’t even discuss hockey on a NHL forum.
How much?Willing to bet Flames finish ahead of the Knights next season anyways.
We didn’t say that, we just think it’s hilarious that when a player is rumored to be traded or is unsigned, you guys are head over heels for that player to be acquired/signed. But, when the Flames trade or sign the player the player becomes the worst player on the planet? Think I’m lying? Go look up:
Hamonic discussions pre and post trade - You guys were all over acquiring him and once Calgary got him, “Bad trade, Hamonic isn’t even good.”
D. Hamilton - “is carried by Giordano, Isn’t that good of a player and only is good at offense, never uses his big body. ” (Traded to Carolina): “Hamilton is a great 5 on 5 player, it’s a shame we didn’t get him, he’s a PP specialist, a top pairing defenseman.”
Need I go on? Sure, Czarnik being called a potential top 6 player to now a meh RW player that won’t amount to anything now that Calgary has him, or how Hanifin doesn’t look like he could become more valuable and a better player than Hamilton now that he is gone, or even Spence Foo getting signed by us rather than you guys. And now, the Neal signing is pretty dang hilarious to read about.
You guys just can’t get away from the Flames’ signings, why is that? You care way too much about your rival. I know this is a discussion board and can do whatever the hell you want, but damn I love getting signings/trades, just to but you guys and to see the salty tears. I’ve never seen a fan base stand by their comments, they always change when they don’t get the player they want.
