I like it.

Gets the Flames 6 years younger - and keeps them competitive with a player who has shown in flashes that there is some real upside there. Feels like a gamble but not an uneducated one.

We got bigger, younger, and faster today.

I don't know how good Sharangovich will be but he's produced at times and still is young. So they reset the asset clock which is positive. Could they have gotten a late 1st or something? Beats me.

Happy that they are making moves that at least has some eye on the future.

Those thinking that the Flames were actually going to do a full re-build are going to continue to be upset and bash their heads against a wall. As one does.

Sharangovich isn't gonna be a core piece but he's a good player. He probably has the best shot of anyone in the entire organization. Really curious to see what he can do.

We all know what Tyler Toffoli is, and he's not a 75 point guy. This year was clearly the outlier and other teams know that

Sharangovich put up nearly identical numbers to Toffoli in his first 2 NHL seasons, and is a comparable player in that he's big and has an elite shot

Yegor though offers a lot more speed/agility and he uses his size more than Toffoli. He's not a powerforward but he gets involved a lot more than Toffoli who is exclusively a perimeter shooter

Sharangovich is fast, has a wicked shot. Tangible traits we have been crying for. Speed!
He will fit in a fast tempo structure.
The 3rd is nice to have back.

Comparing the trade in which we got Toffoli is stupid. Different GM, different situations.

Ppl saying Conroy got fleeced are crazy.

He’ll be a fan favourite by Christmas

Most hated that trade, but they got 12 years of Lindholm and Hanifin for 2 years of Hamilton and 1 year of Ferland.

We’ll get multiple years out of Shar for 1 year of Toffoli.

Calgary needed to get younger and cheaper, and they accomplished that.

They were never in the short term going to get younger, cheaper and better.

No one was willing to give up a first round pick for Toffoli.

Taylor Hall was given away for free. Should Toffoli actually have been worth so much more?

People saying we should have waited until the trade deadline underestimate the potential for Tofoli to have a bad year and really diminish his marketability.

I personally know nothing about the guy we got in return other than a quick google search and what others have said about him. This isn't a homerun trade for Conroy but people are being overly critical of the deal. The expectation of getting a first round pick or a huge haul just aren't feasible when being dealt this deck of cards. If a player wants out and requests a trade you are negotiating from a position of weakness. Other teams know this.

Patience is key and I think fans will be pleasantly surprised with what we got back.

I'm really not hating this deal.
