Confirmed with Link: Zadorov to VAN for a 2024 5th and 2026 3rd

why did he stop hitting?

He hasn't, he's just gotten smarter and isn't chasing hits like he used to.

I'm predicting a Zadorov goal Saturday. Canucks been on a slump, I hope he doesn't help them get out of it.

He'll give it away and will give us a goal.

Aim higher if you hope he gets a goal. See if he goes for a Gordie Howe hattrick. Good guys still win.

He will be a catalyst for a good solid kumbaya session with the gloves off and fists in full motion. Both teams will exercise their demons from that point on!

*wishful thinking*

Cap space is extremely valuable, this is true. However, are we actually in a position to weaponize that cap space? I remain unconvinced of that.

When we trade Lindholm, Tanev and Hanifin we can now take back salary to improve the return rather than just retain. Lindholm and Hanifin basiically at $5mil, Tanev at $4.5 mil.

Like I said, the entire league is at or over the cap minus 4 teams, we can't just trade guys for picks, no one can take the cap hits without retention. This affords us the opportunity to get better picks/better return because we can now take a contract back.

As a Nuck fan, loved the Reinhart trade...man was he fun to watch controlling the blue line.

Really curious to see how Z responds to the trade. He could focus, stick to his more simple game or go full on double chaos giraffe mode...and...well, you know

I do like Pat Steinberg BUT his recent podcast related to Zadorov's trade and his infantile defence of Conroy that he expressed whilst being challenged by the callers??? Get the f*** out of here! Toffoli trade- horse shit, Zadorov trade- horse shit. Just get real, those fat GM cats have been manipulating you, squared you in the corner till you shut your pants Craig. Enough of this defending with no legs by the media, the 2 trades Conroy has done are simply poor- 3/10 if you like. Absolute garbage and it has been a few days till I allowed to adjust my mind with this nonsense but I can't. Make me your advisor Conny, I have a ridiculous fantasy record, just give me a chance to show you how you make these top end trades to be on the winning side. You have lost them both and your biggest issue is- you are too emotionally distracted and you can't manage the time. Howgh!

Treliving’s trades and signings always looked great at first but some turned to shit later

Conroy’s trades looked like shit at first, but turned out ????

 

[deleted user]

That's fair actually. We don't know how it will all pan out. I do get the frustration. Z's agent screwed the situation.. I think it was a priority to say the "right thing" (about it being on our schedule when he's moved) but that locker room couldn't have been happy about Z..

So I'm giving Conroy a bit of a pass here. Hoping it will be good. Posters have said we looked fine on D last game without the Z man. I hope that continues and that Solo sticks full time for us!

chill bro

Flames don't need to win trades, they need to add young assets while becoming worse on the ice so that we actually get a few top 3 picks and add our own Pettersson/Hughes or MacKinnon/Makar type top tier studs while our elite amateur scouting continues to fill rosters out through the rest of the draft with excellent NHLers like Zary, Eatbread and Kylington.

It'd be nice to get more value for guys but it's more about opening up spots for guys like Pellettier, Coronato, Poirier, etc. We should even be looking to move good soldiers like Coleman etc

You can do your suggested moves in a more astute way- don't be a fool.

Mangiapane hasn't been excellent. That's odd to say. Unless it's facetious.

it's not. OKG has.... let's say odd takes. He claimed Nakladal was a top 4 defenseman, claimed Bennett was better than Monahan, claimed Monahan only scored "winger goals"... he even claimed Gaudreau was better than McDavid on the main boards

Ahh.. I see. Okay. That's cleared up hehe.

 

[Rubi]

I have to say that I'm disappointed in the returns for Zadorov and Toffoli but I understand why we got what we did. Like most people who are selling something of value you always want more than what you will usually get. I've watched enough Pawn Stars to understand this.
However, in the end I don't suppose late 1st or 2nd round or 3rd's or anything later will really be the answer to the Flames scoring problems and transform this team from a mediocre one to a legit contender. Multiple years of top 5 draft picks will. We aren't getting those from any trades involving any of our pending UFAs or any other Flames player for that matter. Lets face it... to get good we have to suck bad. Let the hard core sucking begin!

Mangiapane hasn't been excellent. That's odd to say. Unless it's facetious.

He's a second liner being paid like a second liner and playing like a second liner. For a 6th round pick, it's pretty great value.

14 points in 22 games, one point off the team lead in scoring while on pace for around 52 points over 82 games. Don't get the hate.

 

[Mobiandi]

Don't get the hate.

He is one of our most well-rounded players. Above average defensively, offensively, despite being miscast as a RW.

If we had a better C/RW playmaker who could properly set him up (Zary maybe later down the line), he’d be racking up more points. Never understood how people could be disappointed with him, we should have locked him up for 6 years but that’s Brad Treliving RFA signings for you
