This is the right answer, hopefully we can get away from this discussion in the future.

I know a grown ass man who still goes by Mikey. Like wtf?

Just like Mikey, Dougie is unacceptable.
Would you be ok with Marky Giordano?

Well, I can't see this hurting D. Hamilton's offense. 16 points this year... on pace for 33 when the bar has been 50+. Maybe it'll be a wake up call.

And their mom's name is Fred, so it will too always be Freddie.

Curiously enough, his family calls him John.

I believe the Coyotes paid the Flames a cool $26,250 USD to claim Freddie off waivers (waiver fee).

Can't believe people are happy Stockton just lost their (likely) #1C for nothing. Still young and low cap hit. Could have been part of a trade.
Hate losing assets. Had much rather seen Stajan on waivers.

Is Maloney calling in a favour from Chayka to take Freddie off our hands?

I did not see him being claimed. I to have to wonder if this was part Arizona just claiming him or agreeing to take him if waived. I.E. did not want to give an asset up for him.

Trade for what? He has a career 6 NHL points in 67 games at the age of 26. Just because Mr Analytics and video game GM in Phoenix claims hims does not make him a trade-able asset with any value. The main value is he has a brother...

On a side note. Stajan has 1 point in 29 games, yikes.. Even Bollig gave us more.

Full tank mode?

Coyotes announce they have sent down Mario Kempe who has 2g + 2a in 18 games to make room for 1a in 8 games Freddie.

Is it perhaps the first time ever where the Flames finally got the good brother?

Niedermayer, Bure, Primeau?

Dougie Hamilton not talking about his brother Freddie being claimed. “I’m just here to talk about the game.” #Flames
