Thats not chump change for a back-up who won't play that much. Bishop is probably going to play 60-65 games. Not to mention they will get their back-up back from injury in Decmeber, who they are high on. Then what do they do?

once the season starts and Ohlund goes to LTIR, they'd have the cap space to do it. Poulin is a decent enough backup and all things considered a much better option though - when Vasilevski comes back, you just waive him or even flip him for a pick if he's playing well. Certainly a better option than an expensive Hiller/Ramo.

Remember how many of us were pissed over not getting Luke Adam from Buffalo in the Regehr deal? Went ufa this year and on waivers this am. Not many of us would have predicted Byron would have turned out to be the better pro but that's the case.

[Heavy Jack]

Iogged in to say just that. Insane how mad people were back then only to see Byron at this point being a lot more serviceable at the NHL level in comparison to Adam.

[Heavy Jack]

Wow that's Joey Mullen's kid there. Definitely doesn't have those same hands haha!

[Heavy Jack]

Brian Gibbons looks to be another one of the many tiny small skilled wingers that have come out of Boston College but plays with more edge to his game and less skill than the Gadreau's and Gionta's. Would be an interesting flyer to take, he wasn't invisible with Pittsburgh a couple of years ago. I think someone will grab him.

[IgiTang]

Alot of former flames being waived. An I dicator as to how weak our farm system and to a lesser extent our bottom 6 really was a few years back?

[MissTeeks]

Both Glencross and Setoguchi were released by the Leafs:

@markhmasters: Leafs release Curtis Glencross and Devin Setoguchi from PTOs

[calumniate]

Pierre luc letourneau Leblond!

[pgsieve]

Sad to hear about McGrattan. Hope he takes my make believe offer to work in the front office with the Flames

He was placed on waivers last year as well.

In our defense though that was the year after he won AHL rookie of the year, putting up 62 points in 57 games.

also had a decent NHL season afterwards, although he obviously benefitted from centering a line with Vanek and Pominville. Also thought he'd be good enough to be an NHL regular, but he obviously failed to take the next step. Who knows what would have happened if he was included in the trade instead of Byron ...

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Saw a couple tweets that mentioned there's a good chance Tinordi will not make the Habs out of camp and will have to clear waivers. I imagine he'd be picked up.

[Poe969]

Wow. I thought Tinordi was supposed to be really good. I don't know what would happen if he was traded, would he still have to go through waivers unless he makes the team or could a team trade for him then demote him? From what I remember, he was big, mean and not terrible at offense. I think he might just be a late bloomer.

He could be complete garbage though, I'm just going from what I remember.

I don't think he had any expectation of not being put on waivers. Especially on a team like that. I remember reading an article saying he was looking forward to spending his winters in San Diego (or wherever the Ducks farm team is) and playing hockey.

[Calgary4LIfe]

I think this is the first year in countless years where I am not hovering over the waiver wire waiting for some great player to fall through the cracks and get picked up by the Flames. So this is what it means to cheer for a team that has an abundance of young talent forcing their way onto the team!

Yup, the talent balance has shifted for sure. No need to look for the next Comeau, that is for sure.

More excited about the next few preseason games, where actual lines might start to take form. Now regretting giving those tickets away (especially if that means we are stuck with streaming!)

I think the emergence of Bealieau (sp?) pushed him down the depth chart. I always thought the flames might target him as a sort of reclamation.
