Confirmed with Link: David Jones to the Wild for Niklas Backstrom and a 6th round pick

[Ace Rimmer]

Have to believe that Jones had more value then a 6th.. But nothing really lost

Not really, no. Pirri got as much, and is probably worth more than Jones.

The contract really hampered moving Jones I think.

Trying to Russell some feathers, I see.

Quit Jyriking around.

How long have you been Jonesing to make that joke?

Great success!

The tank is real

I heard Treliving on the Fan while I was driving home just now. He said Ortio will get the bulk of the starts because they still want to evaluate him, Hiller will get some, and Backstrom will get some as he's a consummate pro.

3 Headed Goalie Monster -2.0

Version: Tank

 

[TkachuksMouthguard]

3 Finnish goalies in the system. Some kind of record?

 

[Ace Rimmer]

So what's the deal with Backstrom anyways?

Is he a viable option going forward, or just filler?

Apparently he is hoping to play next season, so we may be giving him a chance to show that he still play at an nhl level

 

[Dertell]

Good to know he had any value.

Bizarre ownership seem to be against retaining on any contract, UFA or not, yet doesn't mind taking on bad contracts.

Well that's nice of them. I wonder if they're going to give Hiller the same chance for next season as well.

They did, he doesn't

 

[Bouma Fett*]

Uh...yeah! Let Backstrom play... so he get's another game in before he's, ahem, done. He's been such a great guy in this league, we should let him play the whole rest of the season! You know, cause it'd be nice to him...

I just think it would be nice to see him get one last game at least. Not like we're going to light the world on fire with our other goalies

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Could you imagine if Backstrom starts for us next year?

Tre did lots of shovelling today, good work!

 

[Snazu]

So how do the Flames get away with justifying having Ortio on Emergency call up now that they have 3 active goalies? Does anyone know how that rule works? Can he only play a certain amount of games for them before he has to pass through waivers?

Ortio was never on emergency recall, and I'm pretty sure he'd need to clear waivers to be assigned to the AHL, which he will. If he's assigned and recalled post-deadline it counts against a specific number.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but emergency recall only applies to players called up from Junior or post deadline recalls.

Ah, okay. I was just going off what this website says about him and it said that he was on emergency loan. https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/flames Probably not right then because a couple other of the cap sites don't have him listed like that.

 

[DCDM]

The tank is real

If there is any justice in the world, the next goalie the Flames put on waivers will be Hiller.

 

[Devilspuppet666]

David Jones looked really happy to leave... wish him well overall tho, and was really a big fan of Backstrom for a while but hes soooo done be nice to see him play a game tho...

 

[Kranix]

Good return, great trade. Jones is off the roster and they got actual hockey pieces for him.

 

[DFF]

The tank is real

I am scared. He is probably the best of the three

 

[Bounces R Way]

This would give me great pleasure.

I almost sh** my pants when I saw "Backstrom to the Flames".

Then I saw the k in his name...

They actually both have a k in their names. It's the fact that he doesn't have a 'c' that sets him apart. Nicklas Backstrom the forward and Niklas Backstrom the goalie.

At las, I've made sense of it. Back to sanity, and in the nick of time too, I've got a test tomorrow.

Thanks, Anglesmith

totally reached for that lmao
