PureQuickness Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) This trade has really meandered into bad. Our key acquisition is not producing on a high powered offensive team. They at least have Hunter and a 1st round pick to go with this, even if we were to not include Kuzmenko. Lindholm is a very expensive faceoff specialist as it stands right now. They definitely sold high. A 1st round pick for Miller was a good trade. Lindholm... we won't have the cap to sign him and I don't think we will.

If the team is comfortable trading Mik, and most likely Garland. It means Myers will need to make a big time cut or they just won't renew him at all. It can be done. Not everyone gels right away. We will see in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland is actually doing well, even if it's not scoring. At least he's a playdriver. Mik also had a decent game last night. But Pettersson? Just invisible. I think he showed up in the bubble under Green. Myers for sure will take a paycut. I'm guessing he'll take 3.5 or 4 for a one or two year contract. I think he'll take the hometown discount because he lives here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integra250 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Kid hasn’t even played one NHL game. He’d have no place on this team with Hughes here long term. Look at Byram. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Midget and Kakphuk basically made them go into full sell mode, I doubt management decided that by themselves. Best part is that horrendous Huberdeau contract that Treliving left them as a parting gift lol...as you can see I have zero interest in seeing their club be successful in any way. As for Bustwit, he was never going to be a part of this club long-term imo with Huggy here. It reminded me of Col getting rid of Byram for help down the middle since they already have Makar.

Sell.the.team Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) As much as I dislike the Flames and think they have not done a great job on some of their trades, I respect the tear down philosophy. I also wish nothing but the best to Kuz and Hunter B. 2022-23 was a miserable season for the most part, but I was lucky to be at a few games Kuz took over, and he had an uncanny ability to absolutely electrify the building. It is too bad his season went down the way it did, he will be missed! Edited March 14 by Sell.the.team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No room for another offensive defenseman on this team for the next decade. Hughes has that position locked in. I'm happy we sold high and got Lindholm - he fulfils a positional need - a right handed centerman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duke Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 5 hours ago, Canuck You said: Calgary's actually doing the right thing..Working towards a proper rebuild...Guess they learned from us who took for ever and made Linden leave. We are literally a top team, heading to the playoffs led by Miller, whose acquisition was the opposite of a “true rebuild.” Calgary was loaded with top talent, sucked, and still has miles to go before they reach the level we’ve hit this year. Even if we gripe about the OEL buyout, that will be nothing compared the Kadri, Huberdeau, Coleman and Weegar contracts as they only get older. Not saying they’re doomed, and good for Conroy trying to make some lemonade… but selling some pieces for picks and prospects guarantees nothing at all. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were an older group and lacking some scoring pop, but I really liked their composition going into the year. I’d wager the blowing it up / “rebuild” stuff we saw this year was more because most of those players indicated they didn’t want to re-sign. Remember, Zadorov asked for a trade. Hanifin was unlikely to resign. I’ll be interested to see if Lindholm comes anywhere close to his reported “ask” out of Calgary, which might have been an “in order to stay” bar. Not a surprise the team has had a late season bounce back with some of those guys moved along. Seemed like a lot of key players wanted out in a hurry. But yeah, they still have a lot of “win now” money locked up for…. Later. A lot later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duke Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Final bop on the topic: so much for Brzustewitz holding out from signing. Considering Hronek and Willander are our only long term considerations at RD, I doubt it was for opportunity. I think management just looked at their projections and rolled the dice. Who knows how it’ll turn out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows how it’ll turn out. He would have been in Abbotsford for years until he learned how to play D. Cahlgary will likely have to rush him with the exodus of all their players who actually belong in the NHL. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, giving players stupid names says way more about you than it does about them. Not creative, not even funny. Just kind of juvenile. Is it so hard for you to refer to players by their names? Do you think you are clever for coming up with demeaning names? So, yes and yes? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
