Time to stop moving picks. Time to look at buy low opportunities. Flames have been linked to Armia previously and wouldn’t be surprised if that’s who they were scouting in Arizona. Adds size to the lineup and plays a 2 way game. Here’s an old article linking him to us.

Time to move on from 88 and 29 and maybe those are pieces we can dangle (not necessarily in an Armia trade). Small streaky wingers with defensive deficiencies. Markstrom would have a better save percentage if he had players in front of him who play a 200 foot game. Treliving way overpaid for 88, not earning his keep right now. Paid top dollar for a player who had an outlier 35 goal season. |
If you can get your hands on a big winger who makes 3.4 million this year and next year and had 14 points last year and 14 points the year before you pull the trigger. He would be huge for the tank.
Armia was available on waivers for free 24 days ago but the price was too low to pick him up at that point. Now is the time for Conroy to pull the trigger and give up an asset for him.
Armia is the type of worthless asset that a contending team would throw in a 2nd round pick with him in a trade where they got back 50 bucks just to get out from under his contract.
