Draft ain't over yet, insane couple of hours to come I imagine.

[Aarongavey]

I doubt it is over, the Flames now have 5 dmen that can play legitimate PP minutes, I think one of Wideman or possibly Gio could be moved today

[Roof-Daddy]

This is nuts.

Perfect timing to add a 22 (soon to be 23) year old BIG right handed PMD to the young core.




Gaudreau (22) - Monahan (21) -
KKKKKKKKKKK - Bennett (19) -

Brodie (24) - Hamilton (23)




Five key pieces in place now, with a pretty decent stable of prospects coming, and a decent group of vets still around.

He turned 22 on June 17th. He won't be 23 until a year from now.

Gio is not getting traded what is wrong with you people

[Roof-Daddy]

Yeah Gio isn't getting traded.

I could see Wideman getting traded now though.

[the2bears]

Wow, just wow. I was at lunch and got the alert on the phone.

Stunned, but very frickin' excited. Can training camp start next week?

[Aarongavey]

Not to derail this, but I imagine Treliving has everything on the table right now. He is building a team for 2016 as well as 2023, I could see him having almost anyone above 30 on the table today.

[Street Pharmacist]

I'd prefer Russell moved over Wideman, but I'm sure I'm in the minority on that one

Everyone was complaining we don't have enough depth on defense after the top 4 : Giordano, Brodie, Wideman and Russell. Now that the Flames acquired another top defenseman, you wanted to get rid of the other one of Wideman or Giordano? That's just silly. Noone from D are going to move this off-season.

[Badgers Nose]

Maybe Jones and picks plus back to Calgary for Gio?
