Confirmed Signing with Link: [CGY] Josh Leivo signs with the Flames (1 year, $875K)

[Canuck86]

up next...Oscar Fantenberg

Would have liked Leivo back at that price, but we don't have a GM capable of making S M R T moves. Keeping all the dead weight till injuries happen during the year or their contracts run out.

Canucks got 2 years to gain more experience then I am going to have high expectations, hopefully the GM and Coach will be gone by then.

hire Gallant now as an Associate coach to help/push Green.

best of luck to Leivo

rumors have it that Mark Donnelly and Fin might get Signed by the Flames.

Good signing Calgary, your sloppy seconds are going to pay off lol. I'm being serious, I love what you're doing. Markstrom, Tanev, Leivo, and Domingue. Some solid Canuck core there, and it's going to be hard to root against you. Add in Tkachuk and there's a lot of would of, should of, but I'm rooting for you guys. I'm rooting for any Canadian team now. It's been too long now, Canada needs to win the cup.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

He has yet to hit 20 points let alone 20 goals

Did I dream about 2018-19 ?

I have an extra pacifier that my niece doesn't really use if you want it

Funny (really).

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

up next...Oscar Fantenberg

Fantenberg was a Flame prior to signing in Vancouver, actually.

 

[Leafs87]

Extremely underrated guy. Don’t understand why leafs ever gave up on him. I think he can def hit 20-20 under the right team

 

[ijuka]

Josh Leivo's interesting. Sorta similarly to someone like Tyler Ennis, I've always thought he's really good value for what he brings, but no NHL GMs or coaches seem to like him a whole lot.

 

[Kranix]

Extremely underrated guy. Don’t understand why leafs ever gave up on him. I think he can def hit 20-20 under the right team

Didn't score, hit, fight, block shots, PK, win board battles.

He did nothing here outside of 1 13 game stretch where he showed some promise and then NOTHING

NOTHING

[skuzzycuzz]

Good signing! I wish we could have kept him! If he stays healthy he is a very useful player. Great shot and great along the boards.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

40 goals for this guy next year.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

I still like Leivo. I feel like I've been saying it for too many years that he'll be a 20 goal scorer.

 

[Mobiandi]

At his absolute best, I think this guy could fill in what Ferland did for us minus the physicality.

I love this signing

 

[notsocommonsense]

This Canucks-Flames crossover episode is getting ridiculous.

There’s an unrepeatable Sean Avery quote that comes to mind

 

[Del Preston]

Nice, that's mine. I've got another one for their next Canucks signing.

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

 

[Kranix]

Nice, that's mine. I've got another one for their next Canucks signing.

This is an abomination

 

[Del Preston]

This is an abomination

I'll make more if the Flames sign another former Canuck.

 

[Khrox]

I like how we basically just scout the hell out of one pro team and get a bunch of their players

18-19, it was Carolina. 19-20 it was Edmonton, 20-21 it's Vancouver. Next year lets just take all of Florida's players (Come on Barkov)

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Somebody tell Treliving he can target former players on all teams, not just Vancouver or players rumoured to Edmonton.

that's 2022, same year as Johnny

 

[Cogburn]

Just remember, if you do well, it's because of our guys, and if you do terribly, it's because of our guys.

 

[orcatown]

God I wish Calgary would take Benning

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

man shut up. benning gets zero credit for anything good hes done. soon as some scrub slips through the cracks people like you come out the woodwork to cry. imagine caring that a gm let stetcher and leivo walk

Because the amount of bad far outweighs the good. Why would he get credit for Schmidt when it's fact Vegas called Vancouver? This isn't something fans just made up. And imagine be daft enough to assume the criticism towards Benning is due to Stetcher and Leivo walking. It can't have anything to do with our bottom six costing us 17M and comprising of nearly all fourth liners or healthy scratch candidates. Or that we have Myers at 6x6 to play on our third defense pairing.

That had absolutely nothing to do with Tanev, Markstrom and Toffoli all walking away for nothing. Speaking of Toffoli, we also can't criticism Benning for giving up our third best prospect and a second for a guy who played ten games for us and then signed a gift contract with the Habs.

Nope. It's all because Leivo and Stetcher walked.
