Trade deadline: Buyers or sellers?

[Mobiandi]

Please fire Treliving. What's the point of keeping him around

 

[crazyfisherman]

Dryden hunt huh.....

 

[MM917]

Alright a move for the sake of making a move!

I guess it allows the apologists to say we did something.

 

[JurassicTunga]

Flames traded Zohorna for Hunt...

just why...

 

[DCDM]

The crowd goes mild.

 

[Bert Mckrakken]

Who did we trade for bigger Z again?

 

[Kranix]

An undrafted 27 year old from Western Canada?? Totally off-script

 

[DomBarr]

Who did we trade for bigger Z again?

does it make it better to remember that bigger Z was a waiver pick up?

this really seems like a sutter trade...we need a good western canadian boy...

 

[crazyfisherman]

Helps the wranglers after we gut their team and non of our prospects will be eligible for the playoffs

 

[23Monahan]

Western boy? Sutter probably needs some extra help on the farm this summer. Great pickup lolll

 

[JurassicTunga]

Flames acquired Troy Stetcher.
Just couldn't resist that depth d-man add. FFS.

 

[Body Checker]

Oskar Sundavist was a guy I was interested in for Flames but was scared he’d go for a 2nd. Went for a 4th. Niederreiter for a 2024 2nd and Gostisbehere for a 2025 3rd. All guys that would address some needs - top 9 forward, PP QB and upgrade on 4th line.

Is this organization really trying to win now as they state so that’s why they don’t rebuild or is the mgmt that incompetent?????

 

[Fig]

Flames are gonna miss the playoffs, finish in the bottom 9 and win the Bedard lottery. I mean they are gonna have the first overall eventually, so why not this year?

Please hockey gods, we've tried to do things honorably. Top 3 plz.

 

[MM917]

Stetcher!!!

There is the depth defenseman we didn’t need.

Screw this organization. If this is it I am fine if Treliving is fired this afternoon

 

[super6646]

Hate on Lucic however much you want but I don’t think the guy has an ego… now you’re just making shit up cause you don’t like him

As soon as he stops taking minute long shifts I’ll take back everything I said

 

[Kranix]

I hope Brad gets really mad and defiant when he's swarmed with questions about doing nothing today

 

[DomBarr]

and just like that the Flames go from a N/A rating this deadline to a loser rating for acquiring a depth forward and depth dman

 

[Kahvi]

Please hockey gods, we've tried to do things honorably. Top 3 plz.

It is due, trust me

 

[Kahvi]

Essentially Tre did nothing, which is good. At least if you compare it to the expectations that he's gonna trade 1st and 2nd 2023 for some depth.

Ownership might be ok with Flames finishing low this year and hoping to draft high, at least there wasnt a desparate trade trying to improve playoff chances

 

[Bert Mckrakken]

Did anyone else’s buttholes pucker when you saw a TOR/CGY trade?

 

[Bert Mckrakken]

Ritchie and Stetcher for Ritchie and Mackey

 

[DomBarr]

Ritchie and Stetcher for Ritchie and Mackey

welcome to Sutter GM era part 2

 

[Volica]

Props to the Flames for at least not being dumb enough to actually spend draft capital here. Shame on them for not taking advantage of what was clearly a buyer's market.

 

[MM917]

I guess yay that we didn't waste picks.

But how bad is it that we have to be happy that our management didn't waste picks as a positive? The team is not improved, the teams isn't in a better position now or the future. This is a team that needs massive changes and the team has shown no indication they will do it.

That is my biggest concern, I know they can't move everyone out now but it would have been nice to see at least some sign that they realize we need changes and instead we get nothing. I have zero trust that this team will make the right moves in the summer and this deadline just reinforces that.

At best a C grade and that is probably being too kind.

 

[Bert Mckrakken]

Klingberg for a 5th next year? Looooooooool
