Mediocre deadline at best for a mediocre team. BT and co continue to neglect our biggest need up front, and just go after more ufa depth defensemen. More dumpster diving.
We now have a bunch of UFA dmen who we will likely lose for nothing.
Typical.

Bizarre deadline; would have actually preferred Treliving doing nothing. Adding Gustaffson makes sense on some level but giving up a fourth for Forbort? Baffling to put it mildly.
Given none of the defencemen on the roster were traded, it might mean Hamonic and Valimaki are done for the season. Or something involving one or more of Kylington, Brodie and Hanifin fell through. But even then, the Forbort add makes no sense.
With the assumptions above, the defence will most likely be:
Giordano-Brodie
Hanifin-Andersson
Gustaffson-Stone/Forbort
Forbort/Stone
With Kylington, Davidson and Yelesin as black aces or sent down.
But that third pairing is going to struggle defensively. And Kylington should ask for a trade, or at least go public with one; pretty clear the organization isn't interested in developing him.

The board is dying.
Meh, gus was a low key solid add. Considering he would be the points leader on our backend rn I think it’s fair to chance a third on that. If we end up losing Brodie for nothing though I’m done with brad.
Forbert seems like a waste though.

its like BT can't help himself..I guess Gustafson can help the PP but Forbert is not better than Davidson, Kylington, Yeleson, Stone
they were completely unnessary.

Forbort is a pointless trade. Not much to be discussed there.
Acquiring Gustafsson is an indictment on Kylington. This guy is solely a PPQB who, according to many Hawks fans, is disastrous defensively. As much as our fans like to play up Kylington's issues, there's at least room for him to grow there given that he's 6 years younger. But Treliving just doesn't like the guy for whatever reason.
Whatever.
I'm not too attached to this season because this team looks like a mess. This summer's going to be the real show for us

I guess Brad has faith in the forward group. Or doesn't have any and these were all just treading water moves. Goose another Swedish offensive D.. maybe he can give the PP a boost.
Really wanted a RHS winger that could shoot, maybe Phillips, Gawdin, or Czarnik can come in for Jankowski and do something.
At least we didn't move the 1st round pick.

Love the Gus addition. A 3rd for a guy who can run our PP I will take all day. Chicago's D was a disaster in general so we will see how he does here away from the puck.
Forbort trade is another terrible waste of an asset.
Not improving our forwards when it is our most glaring need is vintage Flames as well.
Also, RIP Oliver Kylington's career.
Sidebar, cap implications suggest that Hamonic could be going on LTIR.

Well, my 2 cents. This was Brad's last kick at the can.
If Brodie and Hamonic walk, which they probably will that makes our offseason a big challenge.
If we don't see the playoffs or make it past the first round our offseason will be that much bigger.
This is Brad's group, if it ends in another year of failure I believe he'll be gone.

Not upgrading the forwards for me was the big thing.
Can't believe we have guys like Rinaldo and Lucic and Reider. Useless.
Well Flames, it's all up to you now. Step up or fail again. All I can do is cheer you on.
Good luck Brad, this is your team.

Eh, the price for the useful rentals was generally too high. And the bulk of remaining forwards that were moved today were left shot left wingers. It'd just be throwing away assets for bad fits.
I'm not sure what people were expecting; you don't make core changing deals at the deadline.

I would much rather have went for a right shot guy like Manson rather than force Gustafsson on the right side. This was a poor deadline by Treliving.
Squandered a 3rd and cond 4th when he should've just stood pat tbh
The lack of smoke on Brodie looks promising for an extension. Or, so the dreamer in me hopes

Not sure what to think. Wonder if re-sign both Brodie and Hamonic and trade Hanifin in the offseason

Stoke me a clipper.
I feel like at least one of the guys we got today will be extended. Does Gus play the right side?
