GDT: Preseason #2 | Flames vs Canucks in Abbotsford, BC 8pm MT

[Deen]

Vladar looks promising at least.

 

[CraigsList]

Vladar looks promising at least.

Agreed. I won’t be twitching every time a shot comes his way. We’ve a serviceable backup.

 

[CraigsList]

Dube at C… I’m in heaven

he struggled the first few shifts but he could be a great player if we utilize him properly… it’s clear as day

We’ve seen this movie before

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Hot take: Oliver is the most talented dman on the Flames.

Is it that hot though?

 

[Darth Vladar]

Is it that hot though?

Oliver Kylington. So hot right now.

 

[Volica]

I'm excited for this trend to continue and Calgary be forced into a rebuild after their horrible tooling in the offseason did nothing.

 

[DomBarr]

Hot take: Oliver is the most talented dman on the Flames.

Cold Take: Too bad the Flames and Sutter do not value skilled dmen.

Did you forget the last Sutter years? We will sign over priced aging free agents to patch the cracks on this foundation and spend 6+ years in unbearable mediocrity and will only rebuild when the talented players walk or retire.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

I’m already outraged for the future moment we put Kylington on waivers. Joke franchise

 

[Darth Vladar]

If Kylington can put it all together, I think he has the potential to be a 3/4. The guy is only 24 ffs

 

[Iggys Dome]

The question is: Will the Flames give him the opportunity to do it here?

 

[Darth Vladar]

The question is: Will the Flames give him the opportunity to do it here?

It could end up coming back to bite them if they don't.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Kylington re-signing here instead of pushing for a trade or just signing in Europe makes me think he's already given up.

 

[Mobiandi]

This pre-season is letting me feel really good about selling the entire farm for Jack the Saviour

 

[Deen]

Everybody chill. We got Coleman on the way.

 

[Darth Vladar]

Kylington re-signing here instead of pushing for a trade or just signing in Europe makes me think he's already given up.

Or that he is committed to the team, which is the type of guy you want playing for you.

 

[Kranix]

Or that he is committed to the team, which is the type of guy you want playing for you.

Committed to sticking in the NHL. The only people loyal to a team logo are fans. It's not a bad thing. The NHL is the company.

Well you won't stick around in the NHL (or at least shouldn't) if you don't play well and if you don't win, both of which require a certain degree of player loyalty to a team. Then again, the way teams are handing out $10M+ contracts to point-per-game players, I guess there is less incentive to be committed to a team that to one's own personal interests. Probably a correlation there as to why the highest paid players never seem to win anything.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I would be over the moon if we got Jack Eichel

 

[Darth Vladar]

I would moon Jack Eichel

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I like the cut of your jib, giving him the full moon.
