Wtf was the hindenberg and titanic reference? Lol
No screen once again
Couple more ahl seasons and Wolf will have figured the nhl speed and skill and finally be readyWolf is so much better than Vladar. Like seriously, it isn't close.
Them and the Blues have been my least favourite opponents for a very long time now. The games are either total snoozefests (90% of the time) or we get comprehensively outplayedIt's the frozen yogurt of frozen treats.
They only played on the Bruins at the same time one season with wildly different results don't think they were that close.I’m not happy about giving this goaltending coaching staff the keys to Dustin Wolf. Vladar and Swayman weren’t too different in ability a few years ago but their trajectories have gone wildly different. Bruins fans thought we made out like bandits at the time of the trade.

One or a dozen games during a starters injury isn't giving him the keys though.I’m not happy about giving this goaltending coaching staff the keys to Dustin Wolf.

No game breakers and the UFAs all want out any way. Time to blow it up. Not that I don't think the team could get a wild card, but it's time to reload.A couple games ago, I said could Calgary go 0-5 or 5-0.
Since then, it's 1-2. I think it's probably best for everyone involved if we go 1-4 here now and just start moving people out. This team isn't built to compete.

I am not sure about that. Couple of 1st from a contender is probably all we are going to getLindholm and Hanifin should return an absolute haul for this club. Like, in theory, they should return a rebuild kickstart... big dog prospect and firsts kind of thing.
A could firsts could be huge especially if we bottom out. That gives a chance a couple more Zary's or Andersson's while hopefully getting a game breaker with our own pick.I am not sure about that. Couple of 1st from a contender is probably all we are going to get
Exactly. And those 1sts will be late firsts and chances will be very slim we draft a game breaker in those spots. We just get more of what we already have.... Titantic and deck chairs.I am not sure about that. Couple of 1st from a contender is probably all we are going to get
Any haul the Flames get will very likely not result in the game breaking franchise player this club desperately needs. Just more good depth players.I mean, get into the wildcard on the backs of some of the younger guys and the big ticket players you're paying to be stars; know what I mean?

This club needs to draft in the top 3 at least a couple of times to get a game breaker.
We need to stop pissing around and tank like we mean it.
Yegor Sharangovich: Am I the joke to you?Wish the team got some business done in the summer. One foot in and one foot out was never going to work.
Should've said more business done. The team left too much on the table to start the deal, and the disastrous start pretty much sealed our fate. Should've either doubled down or sold off more pieces sooner imo.Yegor Sharangovich: Am I the joke to you?
But yeah, I think there just wasn't enough certainty before free agency, and teams filled out their rosters shortly after eating all the available cap space. So the next best deals will be at the trade deadline, or in Tanev's case, as soon as a decent offer comes along. (injury risk is higher)
You can't trade for game breaking talent that so rarely happens. But these extra picks can help fill out the team so it isn't just 1 or 2 guys having to do all the work. Elite talent is obviously very important but the depth is just as important.Any haul the Flames get will very likely not result in the game breaking franchise player this club desperately needs.

Poor Robert, Steinberg needs to do a better job- one day, Robbie gets a heart attack. Not joking.Can someone check on Robert and see if he has not had a stroke? Wow he is some mad tonight
Not to mention Calgary already drafted a franchise player at 6 in 2016.I mean, when you move Lindholm, Hanifin and Tanev, I think it opens up a lot of holes in the lineup. This team already has issues defending, removing two of its most consistent defenders would likely cause all kinds of issues.
Right now Calgary sits 23rd in P%, which would be the 8th overall selection. Edmonton, Buffalo and Seattle aren't teams that are actively tanking, so in theory those should surpass Calgary. Then you're drafting 5th if you can't win the lotto. I mean, you can get a franchise guy at 4/5. Look at Vancouver, they're doing it off the backs of a 5 and a 7th overall.
