Somebody mentioned Chicago and it would be convenient if they signed him just after Hossa is put on LTI so they can use his salary loss against their cap.

Speaking of Iginla.

Exactly the same thing Flames fans would do.

Interesting to see Treliving actually admit this:

The Flames confirmed they are among those interested in Spencer Foo, the highly rated free-agent right-winger from Union College. “Yes, we have interest in the player,” Treliving said. “We’ll see how it plays out.” …

That is interesting. I can't see him openly admitting it if he didn't think the chances were good for signing him.

I don't think it means anything.

IIRC he admitted wanting to sign Hickey too, then he went back to BU and got traded.

But Hickey was already in the organization, it's pretty rare for Treliving to speak about players not already under team control.

It undoubtedly got awkward when Foo was stuck waiting in line to go to the bathroom.

They must have blindfolded him for the trip to the rink. The rest of that place is an absolute cesspool.

Young Foo is tier two.
At Rogers he yearns to poo?
He too has to queue.

I don't know why anyone would go there with the track record they have destroying young players. The only one they developed themselves of any value is Klefblom. Draisaitl and McDavid were pretty much straight from junior. They destroyed Schultz, Yakupov, Nurse, Pajaarvi and seem well on their way with the finnish kid from last year. Those are just the high profile ones. Their later round draft list from the past decade is one of the sorriest things you'll see, most of the ones who have done anything did so once they escaped.

Kid should find a quality organization and do his time in the AHL whether thats in Calgary or somewhere else. But the Oilers threw him into a luxury box and showed off their rolls royce stadium bought with welfare money so he'll probably go there.

Came for the foo jokes but can't get over the hype this player is generating. This can be a guy who may not get qualified when his contract is up.

Don't be foo'd.
