Yeah...Hughes Makar and Heiskanen.

Crazy good.

Outside of that division from a senile old trade maker perspective Vegas and Tampa as well.

Is that John Garrett on the Flames broadcast?

I know UW disagrees but Sherwood for Mav Bourque.

If not he then Emil Henning.
Dallas looks like they might be after Coleman. Also, an insider on Calpuck, claims that the Sharks have made an offer for Andersson. Hopefully the Flames can move out a couple of vets so that they don't go on a winning streak.
You saw what just happened in Vancouver right?
Not really the same. Canucks are a better team at the moment - plus they got a couple of decent players back. By trading any of the Flames key vets, including Kadri, Coleman, Andersson, they will be a much weaker team. The best part of any return they get for these guys, are going to be prospects or draft picks - so no immediate positive impact. That's my theory anyway and I'm sticking to it :look:

Looks like Brzustewicz is getting a pretty good look from the Flames. So far, he has played well. Will be getting a chance on the power play according Huska.

Yep, he seems to be doing the odd Flames and Jets game these past couple of years.

Poor business choice.

The club could use the positivity....

Yeah I thought was he was retiring when he left, not sure if that was legit and he likes to do the odd game to stay involved? Or if someone else retired him from the Canucks broadcast team and he’s just taking what he can get.

Not one player in our lineup close to that level - although we used to have one... ;)

Yeah God forbid we give a 28/29 year old 6x5 mill to keep that in the lineup.

Yeah, and that guy we used to have could play a little too.

So, we then gave up a 1st to downgrade the position and corner the market on a namesake.

You don't have to wonder how we went from an open drive-thru window and straight into the shitter literally within half a season. Bet on the wrong horse and traded in working equipment for cheaper, non-functional replacements that ends up having to pull the horse instead of the other way around.

Who wouldn't quit after getting a glimpse into that dystopian future?

I like how you gave this post the JPP-trigger filter by not naming names. :lol:

Easy now Mëds.

JPP took the high road yesterday.

No need to taunt or tempt fate.

It's all still a little fresh

That's the second one today, I let the first one go unfiltered.

Back it up a bit please....
