[Lunatik]

But Ramo can play 70 games.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

But Ramo can play 70 games.

Only if it's spread over two seasons.

Noticed Max Reinhart got waived by Nashville. Does that trigger the conditions on the trade and revoke the 4th rounder?

It was speculated that the condition that he agreed to a contract

 

[Skobel24]

We should definitely claim that Max Reinhart guy.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

How would you guys feel about a Granlund for Tinordi swap?
is it enough?

Meh, I'd rather trade a guy like Wotherspoon for Tinordi. We have depth on the back-end all of a sudden. I think we need to keep our young forwards, especially Granlund because he can be sent to the minors without waivers for another season.

 

[Bouma Fett*]

I'd meet Witherspoon over Tinordi

Kind of find it odd he was sent down this quick. He's been good in the preseason for the Preds. I guess that kind of tells a sad story about our prospect system not even 4 years ago. This kid was considered our best forward.

15 goals in 19 playoff games though. The hype was deserved, the moral of the story is a prospects have like an 80% bust rate.

 

[Starix]

Friedman reports that Boston is in the market for a defenseman. BT get on the phone and rob Sweeney again for Engelland.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

Wideman for SJ's 1st and 2 2nds.

 

[Kahvi]

Things I hate to admit as a Flames fan, part 1: I had no idea that Reinhart was traded to Nashville. WTF is wrong with me?

It wasn't much of a loss anyways. I had forgot about him until I heard he was waived.

 

[DFF]

And Glencross was released from the Leafs

Career pretty much over.....

a second and a third is looking pretty good for a player not able to make a deflated Toronto squad less then a year later

Yeah, Glencross's value just disappeared in less than a year.

A year ago, one could argue he's one of the Flames top wingers....lol

 

[Wayne Primeau]

And Glencross was released from the Leafs

Whaat?

 

[Lunatik]

Glencross right now is walking around with dollar signs in his eyes as if he were a Looney Tunes character. He could have just as easily have been cut because they couldn't agree to a contract.

 

[StreakingRed]

No kidding. Well done, Treliving.

 

[DFF]

Whaat?

I heard he can ride bulls or something like that.

In a strange way I don't even blame him, if he can't get a decent contract, no reason for him to spend the time travelling all the time when he could just work full time on his ranch and be with his family, to me that would be worth making less.

Plus he can probably set up other things relating to his ranch here in
Alberta. Won't pay him as much as the NHL, but more than survivable plus the time with family and stuff. He's kind of a unique case in a way. Most players have no idea what to do with their lives once they have to quit hockey, Glencross has had his stuff set up for a while now. So for all the talk about him being dumb to take the hometown discount, he is also one of the few who has their **** in order for when/if hockey is gone. So respect for that at least

Yeah except he was on PTO with the Leafs, how low can you get?
there was some desperation there.

Or he was thinking, look at what they gave Clarkson

 

[Bouma Fett*]

He probably figured with all the players they shipped out, they were his best shot to look like he could play in a top six, and thus maybe get a $2 million or so contract for the year.
