Friedman on HNIC says Treliving has his hands in a lot of things in terms of buying at the deadline. Says he is one of the more active GMs right now.

He is going to **** something up.

Solid 9th place buying.

 

[YourAverageFan*]

Treliving is a super smart GM (aside from the Brouwer signing). If he makes a move, it's going to be a move that helps us now AND in the future.

He's gone on record saying he's not giving up assets for rentals.

 

[Toby Flenderson]

Fleury?

 

[JackFr]

Fleury.

 

[Zippy316]

Cammalleri @ ??% retention for a cap dump + prospect that's become redundant + 2nd/3rd round pick depending on the previous two pieces?

 

[M2Beezy]

Hansen for 2018 1st and 2017 5th and C prospect

You'd think a super smart GM could find a competent goaltender.

 

[Langdon Alger]

He wants Andrew Hammond.

 

[Breakers]

Who are Calgary's owners? I thought they had like 9 different people who owned them.


This sounds like Owner making this call to be buying.

JvR?

Who you got on D that we might like?

The one, the only


Dennis Wideman.

It's the Burke influence. He's just goalie repellent. I remember telling Flames fans to hope they had enough good goalies in their system when he was hired as something for their team. Guess they didn't.

 

[McMozesmadness]

Please do, please, please do.

Te Flames loading up and missing will be amazing.

 

[lanceuppercut75]

Hoping he overpays for Bishop and then loses him on July 1st for nothing to Dallas / Carolina / etc.

 

[Snakepit]

Treliving never struck me as the short sighted type so I wouldn't expect any rentals. Likely trying to take advantage of some trigger happy GM and/or the expansion draft

 

[tempest2i]

Hold on, a GM without a contract for next season and his team currently on the playoff bubble, is prepared to go out and buy at the deadline?

That sounds like a man trying to save his job. I wonder how much auntonomy he really has to make decisions.

 

[Nucker101]

I hope they buy

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

I could see us trading Kulak for a UFA defencemen. We can't protect him and no one else has really any value in expansion. Might as well get something for him.

Like B. Smith or Kulikov

For

Kulak

IMO they only have defensemen they won't want to give up (Giordano Brodie Hamilton) or defensemen worth much less than JVR (Kulak Jokipakka and AHL prospects).

Flames fans could maybe see Kylington or Andersson as a starting point for JVR, but I'd really rather pursue a bigger fish elsewhere.

Exactly what I was thinking. I mean, he's on an expiring contract, so adding assets for next season doesn't really serve his purpose, if he might not be there.

[MOD]

Everyone praised the Flames when he traded for Elliott. He obviously didn't turn out as expected but he's been fantastic lately. Johnson was an excellent signing despite being a bit inconsistent but he was brought in to be a great backup, which he has been.

When you have Wideman, Engelland and Jokipakka occupying your #4-#6 D spots, you are screwed

 

[TML1967]

If it's the Leafs, I want to get CGY first.
Have them miss the playoffs and win thr lottery.
Brian Burke finally pays us back for thr Kessel deal!

In all seriousness what they need/familiarity could be a JVR or Komarov or Bozak.
Any (at 50%) should be a solid return!
Also have room to take short term salary back.

 

[Paralyzer]

Well, when his job is on the line, he has to do something to keep it.
