Joey Mullen is working out with Stockton to get his record back from Pavelski

 

[Mobiandi]

Perhaps a Hanifin trade and/or a Rittich trade. But probably not at this point. The market's messed

Dadanov

 

[Clint Eastwood]

A Stanley Cup

Two RFAs to sign and that brings the roster to 19. A few more forwards to sign after.

Total free cap space: $5.7M

Can’t see them signing any more than a few $1M type forwards.

I definitely see a trade happening. Probably a hockey trade 1 fr 1 addressing both sides needs? But most likely to make room to possibly sign a piece and resign mangi ,dube and kylington

Rebuild?

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Nothing major, maybe Ryan gets moved but that's about it.

Definitely would recommend the Oilers do that bud , you're correct

Yeah I can see a bottom 6 C get moved for cap reasons and see Bennett rewarded with 2C ..but the chemistry with Backlund is maybe why the flames keep him

 

[super6646]

They'll sign a 4th line fwd or two maybe, but that is about it.

Rebuild?

I doubt it. Their goaltending is too good - unlike Edmonton who everyone assumes is going for the lottery pick again.

Getting Mangiapane signed. Signing 2 depth forwards/rebound candidates. Potentially signing a depth D. That’s likely it.

Less likely possibilities are trading Hanifin, or signing another impact player and then making a cap clearing move such as Ryan or Bennett.

What do you think mangi gets signed for ? I guess that determines alot moving forward here for the flames

 

[Bounces R Way]

Maybe a middle 6 RW signing if they come in at a bargain. Probably nothing.

Bet on getting a bit more production and development from Dube, Mangiapane, Bennett, Kylington, Valimaki, and Hanifin. Gaudreau rebounds to his normal self and Tkachuk keeps getting better and I think the offense is fine. Especially if Markstrom can keep his GAA below 3.00

If it goes to arbitration probably something around ~3M. If he signs before then, I suspect something under 3M, perhaps multi year.

Yeah I could see that

We don't have Mike Smith anymore

Threads like this are amusing to a Kings fan.

Every year during free agent week we just pop some brewskis, put on some shades, and watch the parade go by. Maybe give a little wave here and there as our BAC approaches double-digits.

What's next, bro? Pffft. Another brew, that's what's next.

My own analysis...

It’s 9/5/3 at 75.8M

Rittich st $2.75M should be traded for a contract elsewhere making $1M like a F

Sign 2 RFAs at $1M thsts gets you to
11/6/2 at around $76M

3F snd 1D at $1m gets you to $80M.

You could try to trade Hanifin for an ELC Dman and futures or other ELCs which then would open you up to a bigger signing or trade for a p,Ayer from a team looking to unload a player dirt cheap.

1st round exit.

I don't feel they moved forward this offseason. Except in goal, that was huge.

Gio is still aging, Andersen isn't ready to be a 1d yet.

Top 6 is still alright, tons of average. Depth won't bail them out.

They definitely aren't a team that'll scare others. Are they better than Vancouver or Edmonton? I don't feel so.

Need more Canucks haha. Wouldn’t mind a sign and swap RFA’s
Mangiapane for Virtanen
A line of Lucic-Bennett-Virtanen would be exciting to watch, kind of like the “Grind line” of the Red Wings cup runs

Just like Suzuki is going to be taking steps forward for the Habs, Flames have Dube, Mangiapane, Andersson, Hanifin and Tkachuk all will take steps forward this year as well. And just like you have Romanov coming in we have Valimaki who's a PPG over in Liiga right now.
