Pelts is a gem. He's gonna be a core piece of this team down the line I bet. He was the best player on that line tonight

This team is not far away from getting a shot at a top pick, just sell some and go for a top pick.

IIRC it was he that said in his interview something along the lines of, "Because I will win the Stanley Cup."
Love that attitude. Not money, but accolades. The attitude even feels a little old school.
Jakob Pelletier drafted 26th overall in the 2019 NHL Draft
The first round of the 2019 National Hockey League Entry Draft was held June 21st, 2019 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia. A little after 7:49 PM local time, Calgary Flames general manger Brad Treliving stepped up to the podium for the 26th overall pick and spoke the words Jakob...

A few days ago I said these next 6 games were hell, and what have we done? Lose, lose, lose.
It's seriously time to sell and stock up on picks and prospects.
Lindholm, Backlund, Hanifin, Tanev, Zadorov, Toffoli. Go chase your Stanley Cup, you're not winning one here anytime soon. Can't even get into the playoffs when the West is at its worse.
Trade all 5 and that could be 5 first round picks coming back.
I'm fine with that.
Regroup in the summer with some new blood.

I think we were supposed to be watching 7 games to see if we buy or sell?
The more 1sts the merrier as far as I'm concerned.
Wouldn't everyone want to just watch young kids develop and not worry about the standings knowing we're on the right track in doing so? That's what I want.

No, no, no. Once we stop calling them must win games, we'll win them all. It is the Flames way.

Stoke me a clipper.
At this point try anything different. Shuffling the lines could be a good start.

Me too. We haven't had a proper rebuilding in a long time. Our last core is all gone Brodie, Gio, Monahan, Gaudreau, Tkachuk.
This group was supposed to be our next core. We have expiring contracts next year. Why f***ing wait, move them out, it's just not working. It's been 60 games of zero chemistry and frustrating hockey. Maybe our fortunes are better if our goalies could make saves, but we can't get a huge goal and if we do manage one, we give one right back up on the next shot like we did in Boston. 3-2 lead, next shot goes in, goes to overtime wow what a surprise another L.

If Huberdeau wants to appease Sutter and be defensively responsible, swap him and Zadorov. Play Huby on D. Z on LW.
I dunno.

Anyways gang it's been a slice, I've said my piece. I'm heading to bed. It's midnight EST, I'm going to wake up at 8 am for the trade deadline show and see if Treliving has a set of balls, or just tucks tail and does nothing.
Goodnight everyone.
Goodnight everyone.

That’s because his line mates already got paid
They picked Treliving’s pockets. High way robbery. Stole the money without earning it

I would not be opposed to trying to brute force my way towards a top pick.
Weegar has been an absolute beast lately, he needs to take hanifins spot on the pp
Sutter having 3rd pair and 4th line out against the marner line with first change…
f***ing piece of shit. Trash.

Wish I had a bunch of cultists that would endlessly praise me for being a lazy old dinosaur.
"Oh he's just rolling the lines to keep everyone fresh and ready for the playoffs"
Such a joke
Seriously, if matching lines is too complicated or hard for you then you don't belong in this league. And Dutter's been burned so, so many times already by any coach that works to put their top players against the Flames' fourth line/bottom pairing and still, this organization learns nothing.
