Hopefully its the announcement of Cammy + Stemps + Butler + SOB for awesomeness haha.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Burke probably naming himself GM

Probably just going to say 'blah blah blah, team no good, trade players, get stuff back for them'.

 

[Taranis]

I expect as much, yet I'm so starved for this trade business to get started I'm going to watch anyway.

 

[Rockmorton]

I'm more excited than a teenage girl, minutes before a One Direction concert. Lol

 

[Taranis]

..well that was something.

 

[MarkGio]

He's saying Burke is having trouble trading Cammy. He wants a player that helps us get better today

 

[Igy]

You Calgary fans should get ready for a Blockbuster ****ing trade.

 

[MarkGio]

I'm more excited than a teenage girl, minutes before a One Direction concert. Lol

I know that feeling. That was me a few years back when we I found out when The New Kids on the Block became reunited.

 

[Short Shift]

Is Eric Francis ever not a d-bag?

Edit: big letdown by Burkie. Hopefully something happens later, or tomorrow.

 

[MarkGio]

He said if the value is not there, then its better to keep the players you got and try to sign them

 

[MarkGio]

Burke talking about draft picks "Anytime you have a pick, you have a chance to add a player to your team". He listed 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th round picks as important

Burke is prepared to play some call-ups for the rest of the season

 

[InfinityIggy]

Burke Confirms he was offered a bad contract for picks/prospects...interesting.

 

[MarkGio]

Burke saying the Flames can act like a bank and take on salary this deadline for teams that need it

 

[MarkGio]

Burke speaking highly of Baertschi??

 

[MarkGio]

That's it. Short and sweet presser

 

[MuffinMerc]

Burke speaking highly of Baertschi??

That probably means he's going to be traded.

 

[InfinityIggy]

That probably means he's going to be traded.

Yeeeeep.

 

[Turning Mangiapanese]

Why call a press conference if you have nothing to say?

Hair was OK tho.

 

[Calculon]

Conference was scheduled a while ago I believe.

 

[Sean Monahan]

surprised they asked him to do a presser TODAY with nothing going on (on the surface) for us (EDIT: answered above lol)

And apparently we can only have four AHL callups without emergency callups. Right now we have Byron and Granlund, expecting Max and one of the Dman called up if Butler is traded.

 

[SmellOfVictory]

Conference was scheduled a while ago I believe.

That explains him having his hair under control.

 

[MarkGio]

That explains him having his hair under control.

Breaking News: Flames just TRADED HAIR STYLISTS!!!

 

[InfinityIggy]

Breaking News: Flames just TRADED HAIR STYLISTS!!!

His hair looked good so it probably wasn't Anglesmith who styled it.

 

[MarkGio]

I just realized that Burke didn't mention goaltending as one of the holes in the line-up
