Still 50 minutes to go, I am sure they are working the phones.

Who knows if anything will occur

Hey, I think he may actually have got this one right. The Flames are open for business. There are people in the office and everything!

By way of contrast, here is a complete list of NHL franchises that are not open for business today:

What are the chances if the Flames leave Gio unprotected that the Kraken don't take him? I could see them taking any of Kylington, Lucic or Ryan instead of Gio.

Funnily enough, the Flames’ office used to close for Stampede week, so it would usually be closed today… 😉

Yeah, that occurred to me. I just find it amusing that the one time every single NHL GM is guaranteed to be hard at work on a Saturday in July, and every fan knows it, Garrioch thinks he can sell it as news.

Slim to none. They can’t get at least a 2nd plus b prospect for Gio at trade deadline. Can’t say the same for the other 3.

Why this constant assumption that the Kraken are only interested in acquiring players so they can trade them for futures? It's public knowledge that Ron Francis has a mandate to spend to the cap and build a contender as fast as he can.

Here is the other post Garrioch had: Flames closed for business, roster completely set, and no teams should call.

So he went with the more likely.
