The zoom call at 2:15 is that available to everyone? Link?

Debatable..but most likely would have pushed the Oilers over the hump..

I like Calgary's overall structure more than Edmonton. Oilers have the best two pieces of those teams and a few good players (Kassian, Nurse, and Yamamoto) but not much else. Calgary has good players throughout their lineup and less work to do to fill the holes.

I'm glad he chose Calgary. I had a real fear that if he brought Vezina level goaltending to a team with McDavid and Draisatl that they could do some damage. I'm not as worried with Calgary.

The other thing is, if you're a FA goalie, do you want to play in front of the Calgary D or the Edmonton D?

I don't care how good McJesus is, he's not going to keep the opposition from lighting up Marky.

I mean Talbot was honestly pretty good last year. Calgarys problem is that their star offense is depressingly mediocre in the playoffs.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Full NMC for Markstrom, too.

Time to see how greens strategy from the last 3 Vegas games works over a full season

This. That being said, Talbot and Rittich both let in some real softies in the playoffs. Those are deflating.

Unless Jimbo doesn’t want to add anymore player
There’s no way we can afford Barrie

To be fair, so did Marky.

The dreaded Koskinen/Forsberg combo.

dreaded is right

 

[Svencouver]

Also Calgary is gonna take a step back on their D with Giordano retiring soonish and potentially losing one of Hamonic or Brodie. They have existential problems with their core that extend way beyond goaltending

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Hate the idea of Markstrom in Calgary, but 6x6 with an NMC? Yikes. Wouldn't touch that, especially this year.

 

[Scorvat]

He also saved like 15 sure fire goals so I think it evens out

 

[Svencouver]

Barrie is really in no position to have a huge ask lol

Go with literally anyone else. Put Rafferty on the right side for all I care. There is a non insignificant chance that he could be straight up better

 

[Nucker101]

To be fair, so did Marky.

He let in a few bad angle shots but those are easier to forgive when he makes 3-5 point blank saves. Neither Flames goalie can do that consistently

That's our only hope

God Barrie sucks
