Tre's annual LA depth d-man

Garbage trade is garbage for the Flames. Idiotic, stupid, braindead, ridiculous, dumb, incompetent, useless move.

bit of an over-reaction to acquiring a physical depth d-man, no?

[Bounces R Way]

Thanks I hate it

 

[Little Psycho]

Thank goodness he's gone. Doughty babysat him for too long.

 

[FameFlame069]

Oh oh...
I hope it wasn't that much

 

[Sol]

Dudes turrible

 

[Pandaman11]

The only good move by Blake during his tenure

 

[kilowatt]

No. Might as well just keep the 4th rounder and draft an NBA player with it. Complete waste of a pick.

 

[FameFlame069]

So a 4th rounder next year? Can't really complain here

Kings prospect pool says otherwise.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Big slow and not Tarasenko.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

Any one know the conditions of the 4th can it be a 3rd or what is it

 

[Scottypewpew]

Nothing really lost here and some decent conditions for that 3rd(albeit some delayed gratification).

Per capfriendly:
Conditions: The 2021 4th round pick upgrades to a 2022 3rd round pick if Calgary reaches the 2020 Conference Finals and Forbort plays 50% of the games or if Forbort re-signs with Calgary.

2021 conditional 4th round pick* (CGY)

*Conditions: The 2021 4th round pick upgrades to a 2022 3rd round pick if Calgary reaches the 2020 Conference Finals and Forbort plays 50% of the games or if Forbort re-signs with Calgary.

 

[LokiDog]

Giordano, Hanifin, Andersson, Kylington, Brodie, Hamonic, Valimaki, Gustafsson, Forbort, Stone.

Is Calgary’s GM okay?

 

[Reaper45]

So a 4th.

 

[Osprey]

As Fifth Marauder said, thank goodness. LA coddled him for far too long, determined to make their former 1st-round pick pan out and in denial over how much of a bust he was. It's still amazing to me that, no sooner did Doughty win the Norris while paired with McNabb, they split that pairing up and forced Drew to babysit Forbort, then protected Forbort over McNabb in the expansion draft, which I was against. They prioritized Forbort's development and salvaging a 2010 1st rounder over what might've been best for their #1 defenseman.

Even though he's a bust for where he was drafted, he's still an NHLer and decent for depth. Hopefully, for Calgary's sake, they just use him on their 3rd pairing or as their #7, rather than in their top 4 (or even top 2) as LA did.

 

[Little Psycho]

Basically a 4th. Cool cool.

I am pretty sure none of those conditions will be met.
