There is not a single Flames fan that would want that deal to happen and for good reason. Would have no problem having Ekholm but he is nowhere near the value of Backlund. Have people actually watched him play this year? It sure doesn't seem so with these proposals.
Contrary to what you may think, young players struggle sometimes. I know it's shocking to hear. This team is not struggling to turn the corner. Watch some hockey and look at the standings. This team is clearly on the way up in their rebuild. Such an ignorant comment but I'm not surprised given the source. You never have a single good thing to say about the Flames and you're supposedly a Flames fan.
I swear most of these posters don't bother to actually watch the Flames. Chiasson is not an impact guy, was never supposed to be but he is been just fine. He has been as expected. Maybe lower your expectations of what you expect from 4th line players. As for the goaltending, it hasn't been great, but not terrible. It's been pretty average. Sure it needs to be better but I believe in the tandem that is there.
[mod] Any shot high glove has been an auto goal against the flames for the last two weeks, and it hasn't been a secret. Trocheck took the exact same shot from the same place two times in a row and scored on both.
Also- you call out the "fan" intentions of other posters entirely too often. Fans are allowed to be critical of the team, we're the ones who have to suffer through their growing pains year after year. We're the ones that have to deal with the intolerable gloating of oiler fans (who are actually right for once). Grow a set and stop punching with the gloves on- the flames have been a bitter disappointment this season.
