Huggy Bear Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 2 hours ago, RWJC said: Calgary won two of its first four games before hitting its current skid and now sits sixth in the Pacific Division at 2-5-1. Its sputtering offense ranks 27th league-wide with 2.43 goals per game. Sounds like they need some scoring help. Pelletier (small scoring winger) is out indefinitely with a shoulder injury. Kylington (LD) is out as well, with no timetable. When Andersson is back from his 4 game suspension, they have Tanev (2024 UFA) on the 3rd pair at $4.5M, and just under $500k cap space with a 23 man roster. Garland (no retention) + Irwin for Tanev.

DownUndaCanuck Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 The easy route out is re-sign either Myers or Cole to a 1-2 year, 2M deal and plant them on the bottom pairing. Then sign Zadorov to a health Soucy-like 3 year, 4M deal and play him with Hughes or in our top-4 as a shutdown pairing. We don't need too many roster moves this off-season but we'll have to shift our defence as they get a lot older and slower. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know what our situation's going to be like by the end of the season. I'm hopeful based on our start that we have a good season, but we really shouldn't get ahead of ourselves here.

Jester13 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Something around Myers, McWard, and Garland for Tanev and Zodorov Granted, we could wait until the offseason to try and sign T&Z, but getting them now for the price of McWard means more. Of course, this sort of thing is not my forte, so take it with a grain of salt. I'm just spitballin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-signing Myers is not an option. 2 good games in a row doesn’t erase 5 years of mediocrity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
