Flames STH Meeting: Lunch Session
Haven't edited this yet but you should get the gist of the conversation:
Ken King
- recaps Calgary Next /Unlikely to happen
- Recaps Victoria park
- Continuing to meet recently as last week
- Flames submitted their plan to the city, the City will recommend to council their plan with city adjustments and will go from there, could be as early as today. Council can adjust city's recommendation and then will present to Flames. Urgency is big.
- 95% STH renewal
Brian Burke:
- Recaps last season
- Recaps Stockton
Brad Treliving
- Internal meetings done in may
- Protection list submitted this Saturday
- We will be a 7-3-1 protection team
- Figures we will take the 16th pick in Draft
- Vegas gets a 3 day head start to talk to players before FA
- We will have goaltenders for opening night, we bought the gear and it should be used.
Answers to Questions:
- Will always draft a goalie every other year in the top two rounds
- Mark Jank will push hard for a spot this year.
- Ticket prices rising due to keeping pace. Not to increase revenue move.
- Brad trying to answer why we're protecting a goaltender and do we have our #4 d in the system. "Good luck trying to pry that out of me" and he feels the #4D isn't under contract at this point. There was some talk about Stone cause he filled the role nicely and helped Brodie but not a lock and he's on a expiring.
- Are we doing anything to address the Anaheim streak? Brad: "Oh man, We're going to sacrifice a chicken to try to get a win there". Brian Burke" i have to say this, I hate them, I hate that building, I hate their players, I won a cup with their coach and I really hate him"
- Design of new building is "controversial fantastic". Plans Will not be released until nec.
- Shinkerik: had a great latter half of the year. should push for a spot
- Klimchuk: was sensational, but got injured. Might be tough to push someone out
- Poirier: went to treatment centre for substance abuse, came out completely different and is doing fantastic. Will support him all the way and are excited to see what he brings.
- So how does a rumour like OV get generated? "Fake news is the best way for that to be classified"
- Hathaway: skills are limited but he's big, mean and smart. We will qualify him and he's in the mix out of camp.
- On fifth ledge for draft pick
- King constantly jabbing Burke about not getting in trouble about what they say.
And that's about it.
