Im not sure how that trade can really be a win for us in any way.
Byron is pretty much a bust (I know some people are going to disagree with me.)
So its really Butler for Regehr + 2nd + Kotalik.
Pretty bad.
Confirmed with Link: Flames Sign Danny Taylor

Maybe, but those are Flames property players, the Flames have no affiliation to, and/or potentially no interest in Brust. They never drafted or signed him. The Heats GM signed him. The only affiliations we have to him is that our farm team plays him on their team. We could just as easily go sign someone else's AHL goalie if we needed to.
BTW Brust is so far down the depth chart, that he's not even on it. In the event we lose Kipper and Irving, or Taylor, Gillies or Brossoit could be brought in, after that in 1 month or so Ramo would be the very first guy put onto the team. I doubt very very much that Brust is ever even invited to Flames training camp let alone brought onto the team ahead of the 6 guys mentioned.

I doubt it ownership told Feaster to trade Kotalik or play him so we had to dump him and Regher wouldn't waive his no trade for any team but Buffalo after he met the owner. We got the only deal we could get.

Potentially because of the 7 million in salary we dumped in that trade?

If another goaltender goes down, this team has bigger problems than having enough goalies under contract (Brust isn't Flames property).
I doubt any of the prospects you've listed remain under contract with the Flames once their contracts expire.

He's not available until the end of the KHL season - and he's on a good team so wouldn't be available until most of the playoffs were done.
Ortio may be another option. Not sure when his season ends.

Im just stating that it is the worst move he did, it might of been his only option but giving the 2nd pick in return kinda stings a little. I would've been OK with the trade minus the 2nd. I know Sutter left us with a some deadweight to get rid of (Kotalik) but there was other ways to deal with him, Byron seems like hes a bust and well Butler im willing to give him another shot as hes been doing good on the 3rd line. All in all, it was not Feaster's best work but like you said it could've been his only move.

Would you take that player on your blueline right now at 4 mil a season? I wouldn't, he's a lot older and slower than he was when he was effective, coupled with the fact that the game was slower when he was effective. He produces 2 goals a year and as such would only be effective on the PK and I like the defense on our PK just fine.

Yea it is the worst deal he made I agree but he really only had 1 option and it would be pretty hard to trade 7 million in salary for an RFA defensemen and a young player who is doing well in the ahl without giving up a pick when you consider Regher is no longer a top 2 defensemen I wouldn't even call him top 4. Byron only looks like a bust if you didn't see him play for the americans they play a fast pace offensive game (much like Hartley) but on the Heat Ward plays a very defensive system (much like Sutter) and if this year has taught us anything it is that a Sutter system ruins offensive "soft" players. I would not write Byron off yet.

I'm not talking about next year.
If Irving or Taylor goes down in the next few days or weeks, I bet they'll sign Brust (the statistical leader of the AHL in many categories) and play him ahead of junior age goaltenders.
While Feaster got some praise for the way he handled the Taylor/Brust "contract issue", Feaster's contract management hasn't always been exemplary, that's what I was pointing out.
In the end, did Feaster decided not to sign Taylor and Brust because of good management or because he didn't have that luxury due to past mistakes?

Sexsmith had already accepted the contract with Bolzano, Italy and was only going to be available for Wednesday's game against Rochester. Heat are off until Saturday so there's time to get someone else in.
I have never been so excited and disapointed in the span of 24 hours that I have been since Sexsmith signed that contract :'(

Sexsmith has already committed to Italy before signing his PTO with Abbotsford. It was a 1 off situation from the start, he was in the region, was qualified to play if something happened to Brust and bought Abbotsford a little more time to find someone.

That explains a lot. I couldn't wrap my head around why hockey players would want a student price card.
It's not like they ain't got any money!
Student Price Card
Basically, it gets you good deals to a variety of stores, you pay the 9.95.. get the card and discounts everywhere at major retailers. Quite a deal IMO
