What an incredible trade. I swear I heard Frost's name being tossed around during the summer and sure enough it must have been Dissentowner's post that brought it up. Where's that poster who was crapping on him about throwing darts at a board? Crow time.
I fail to see how this trade is anything but a win. Kuzmenko was always going to be a trade 'n' dump. He knew it, the org knew it, the fans knew it. But to go to a Torts team? Thank you Briere for seeing whatever you saw in him, but will be interesting to follow the Flyers this season and see if he's in the doghouse by Valentine's day.
Really going to miss Pelts. Honestly saw him being here long-term. His energy and attitude was infectious and seems like he brought swagger to the team since the day he arrived. His effect on Huberdeau can't be understated either. Really going to miss him and hope he reaches his potential wherever he plays.
Conroy very clearly an EA NHL gamer, as the classic 7th rounder a few years out is a move literally ever NHL gamer has made at some point and succeeded with. I burst out lolling when I saw it was a '28 pick. Nothing against Flyer fans, but hilarious seeing their reaction to that pick.
Still blows my mind that with the tear down that has happened over the past year, the team is in a wildcard spot, Wolf is playing at an elite level, the team shows up pretty much every night AND they trade for 2 young players with room to grow. Unreal. Both coach and GM looking like geniuses right now. Hard to justify being on team-tank (which I was for most of the season) when we get a fun season and solid GM'ing like this right now. Going to simply sit back and enjoy the ride for the next few months. Conroy continuing to show why he's deserving to be on the list of most influential Calgarians!
