Talbot can't be the only thing.

Unless there is a trade, they simply dont have the money to do anything else.

Unless they let Tkachuk go via offer sheet.... (I hope they don't, but that would force them to spend elsewhere)

Friedman said a couple days ago that the Flames were not among the teams in discussions with Pat Maroon.

The only UFA signing I'm jealous of so far is Duchene for $8 million.

Thank christ it looks like Tre is staying out of this debacle of a day.

The most I'd expect is a Frolik trade and some depth signings like Quine, Robinson ang Graovac last year.

I’m ok if Talbot is the only move that happens today. Would much rather tweak the team through trades as Treiving’s UFA record speaks for itself.

Seems like its going to be real quiet in Calgary today. Boring, but probably a good thing.

keenan87 · 07-01-2019, 10:19 AM

As much as I am okay with the Flames not being stupid today.. its been a lacklustre few months.

1. Playing average hockey after the all star break
2. Making no major moves at the trade deadline
3. Getting crushed in the playoffs
4. Nothing at the deadline
5. Nothing major so far in Free Agency

I guess I was used to being excited and spoiled with a big trade last off-season.

Been quiet for weeks at this point.

Some tepid rumours about Brodie/hamonic that have gone away.

Treliving has no real choice but to stay out of the bidding, as Calgary has no cap space.

Which I am currently thankful for.

Frolik, Lindholm , Neal. Hathaway is gonzo

Dont know who you could pull from the farm for that spot. Unless you shift Dube or Mangipane there if they stand pat.

One they can afford to lose more than the other (yes its been beaten to death).

Really confused by this if true.

It would be ballsy but now that the draft is over, I think the value of Brodie or Hamonic could be higher at the trade deadline than it is now. Of course you run the risk of injury and if the Flames are having a great season, could you imagine trading a top four D? But the pieces acquired could be flipped for forward help.

Can't trade defenders at the deadline if you're gearing up for the playoffs.

Thanks all. Foo gone too, who I imagine may have been the next guy up on the right. I'm not overly concerned, it's not like the team are unaware.
