Rumor: Pat Maroon to Flames gaining momentum

[randomrob7]

Maroon is slow, but physical and exceptional along the boards/in front of the net. He is an excellent middle-6 guy.

Disagree. He's terrible in front of the net. The amount of grade A looks he got during his time in Edmonton was insane, and he couldn't bury them. Would literally miss wide open nets regularly.

Kinda hoping the reason he hasn't signed yet is because the Leafs are in on him after signing Tavares.

The leafs badly need a top 9 player with some Size and grit. Would be a decent JVR Replacement. IDk if we have the $$ to do so

 

[randomrob7]

Just for fun i'll guess he signs a 2 year deal at 3.25 aav

 

[ManofSteel55]

No. No. No. No.

As an Oilers fan I hope you sign Maroon. He's slow, too slow.

We’re not signing him for speed lol

If it was that cheap wouldn't Oilers have just extended him instead of trading him at deadline?

His speed is more of a detriment than his physicality is a positive.

We already have Lucic, the only way Maroon was coming back is if Looch was traded. They play too similar of a game.

Okay, we’ll its a good thing that he’ll probably only be a bottom 6 player for us, right?

Sure? Better than playing him in the top 6 lol

Considering just how slow EDM was as a team, it would make sense why you think thats the case.

Maroon is a better fit for teams who has speed from top to bottom, and are in dire need of a physical presense

 

[Skobel24]

I'd be fine with this.

Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Bennett - Backlund - Tkachuk
Maroon - Jankowski - Frolik

 

[Ruok]

Maroon is a cool dude so the thought of him in a flames Jersey is gross.

 

[howkie]

I hope he sends 50 of whatever he earns to McDavid =)

I mean him playing in Edmonton on a relatively slow team definitely magnified the problem. I still wouldn't want him on my team after watching him in Edmonton, though. He's just the type of player that's getting phased out of the league every year. Same as Lucic but with less offense.

 

[Del Preston]

If the Oilers can dump Lucic I'd like to see Maroon back. Can't have both on the team at the same time again though because they are too similar.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

I really want to re-sign him, but if someone offers a 4th year, he's probably a goner.

 

[flamesforcup]

Uhh not a fan unless its very short term

 

[Dertell]

Maroon isn't Brouwer. he's significantly better

this doesn't mean we should actually try to get him. not on July 1st

 

[CarlWising]

Please not Calgary Patty!

 

[Yarbles02]

Please no.

 

[Volica]

Sure. Why not.
Couldn't hurt Calgary.

 

[voxel]

Shades of Glencross. Don’t do it Patty! Don’t make me hate you.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

The Big Rig in a Flames jersey? Not cool.

Would be a good veteran add for Calgary, will be interesting to see if it happens.
