It was already borderline lost when we went on that 6 game-losing streak and fell to 2-7-1. They needed to start well given all the uncertainty and they fell out flat. Once Hanifin and Lindholm decided they were on their way out, the season was always toast.Alright.
Well.
This team is 11-14-3.
5th in their division. 6th last in the NHL on P%.
This season is f***ing lost man.
There's no horses in the stable here to go on a 100+ point pace the rest of the way out. Like, the talent isn't there.
Just lose guys. Just lose, and be bad. Be stinky. Trade those UFA's to restart. Hell, let the Kraken make some noise and pass you; see if you can get some luck and move from 5 to 1 or 2 in the draft. We need something different here in a bad way.

Lindholm and Hanifin are pretty much gonzo already. Once those two are traded this is a bottom 5 team easy.I'm not hoping them to lose, but I expect that is what will happen. What I hope is they trade Tanev, Lindholm, and Hanifin for future pieces. And get lucky in the lottery
Trading him now will mean retaining max salary and accepting a shitty return from a non-desperate team that will likely have conditions attached. Like Tanev @ 50% for a 3rd and a conditional pick that might turn into another pick in the 2025 draft.Thank god it isn’t too serious being day to day.
Seriously, sign him or trade him. The team is playing with fire keeping him without doing either.
Exactly, there is a reason teams don't sell early, even when they're bottom feedersTrading him now will mean retaining max salary and accepting a shitty return from a non-desperate team that will likely have conditions attached. Like Tanev @ 50% for a 3rd and a conditional pick that might turn into another pick in the 2025 draft.
Not interested.
Just curious, what’s the return we would be expecting at the deadline to begin with? If it’s a first round pick, I think it’s fair to hold onto the player and take a risk. But if it’s a 2nd and a 7th, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to take a slightly smaller return now in guatentee for something. And I have to wager, given what tanev is at this point (ideally playing 17-18 mins a night) I don’t think a first round pick is on the table.Trading him now will mean retaining max salary and accepting a shitty return from a non-desperate team that will likely have conditions attached.

Could see this one going really bad. Top 4 Dennis the Menace is certainly something.
Not really at the point where I'm cheering for losses but also not going to be too upset with that outcome either.
Painfully obvious the team needs more top end talent to be anything other than an also ran.
Hope Wolf and Zary play well

We have no horses in the stable for anyone to go on a 50 point pace let alone 100.This season is f***ing lost man.

I was team Treliving when the trade happened. Felt like a job well done considering Chucky wasn't re-signing. Boy oh boy has he been a catastrophic disappointment. The effort and desire seems to be there many nights, but his hands have turned to stone. His A1 elite level passing is below average now. It's truly shocking. I am very optimistic that Pelletier completely revitalizes his game; however. I may be delusional, but I see a dramatic turnaround much like Kadri once paired with Zary & Pospisil (and now can play well with anyone it seems). It'll be funny to watch him go on a 40 pts in 30 games run after UFAs are gone and pelts and him are flyin us into that #9 west seedAnother tough game, will take a Herculean effort by the Flames. I'm sure they'll battle, but not sure they'll win. I'll always cheer the Flames every game, but yeah like the majority said it's better for the future if we don't win so much. I can't cheer for losses. I'd like Lindholm and Huberdeau to show up once in awhile. Huberdeau had 0 shots on goal last night. I still can't understand how he just isn't good. It's been 110 games or so and I can't remember once saying he was the best player on the ice for us. It's still mindboggling.
