Getting Hot Dog Phil at this point would just be a bonus.

You mean the guy who had a wide open net against us and shot it 10 feet wide?

Just a bit outside!!!!

Teams have traded a first for worse ufas let alone players with good value contracts and are willing to play in Canada

[FlatLandFlamesFan]

Time for a trip to the show GFG!

[Bunk]

All the pieces seem to be there.

I would bump Dube down to the 4 line and bring up Pelletier

Gaudreau-Lindholm-Tkachuk
Mangiapane-Backlund-Coleman
Lucic-Monahan-Toffoli
Dube-Ruzicka-Pelletier

4th line full of that youthful piss and vinegar.

So which flame is out of the line up with Toffoli in?

No
It means they are both out.

Great article. Really good insight on the player, a little insight on Sutter too.

Excited!

"I look back on those good teams we had, and I think that what made me really love being a King was the attitude we had in the room. Like here: I’ll tell a quick story about Coach Sutter that sort of sums up our group.

I think it was early 2016–17. We were having an up-and-down start to our season, but we had just reeled off five straight wins, and the boys are in the room after a game and everyone’s feeling good, cracking jokes and stuff. And Coach comes in and just starts ripping into us.

“That third period wasn’t f****** good enough! The effort wasn’t there at all. What are you guys even doing?”

He was livid, just givin’ it to us. But he was doing that because our third period probably had been a little weak, and you can’t play like that and expect to win many games.

So our season goes on and it’s not perfect but we’re grinding, trying to make the playoffs. And we run into a tough stretch in January where we lose four straight, and the fourth one is a pretty tough pill to swallow. So I’m sitting in the locker room after that game, expecting some harsh words from the coach. I’ve braced my mind for it.

But he comes in, big smile on his face: “Boys?? Boys!! Why the long faces here? We’re doing the right things out there, the bounces are going to go our way. Don’t worry. Just keep going here, boys!”

That was Sutts.

He always kept us going in the right direction and made sure we all knew that the end-goal was to be playing good hockey come springtime. Winning wasn’t a style of hockey, or an effort level — it was an attitude. And every player had that in our room. That’s what made it so tough to leave L.A. last year."

Ritchie (IMO)

[btimbit]

When asked if he'll be in the lineup next game, Treliving says "That's Darryls call"

Nice contrast to the ####show up north

[NewFan]

Very excited!

How about Mangi-Monahan-Toffoli line. Good for D zone and can score in Rush. Monahan can regain some offence.
And Dube-Backlund-Coleman - Shut down line. Aldo I hope Backlund helps Dube to get some offence.

They would have to retain salary to make the cap work anyway, so that’s pretty much assumed.

Lol because they added under 3M in salary

[taxbuster]

Great news!! Just had brekkie and came down to the PC...and this was the first thing I saw....excellent!!

[Jacks]

At first glance I like it but I don't know how the hell we are going to fit everyone under the cap next year.

[Bleeding Red]

How about we give him a couple of days to acclimate and not screw with a 6 game win streak.

[Tbull8]

Now go get Pearson from Vancouver.

Pearson Monahan Toffoli

Nah, he'll be no worse than Richie out there.

[Lanny_McDonald]

Got the player many of us have been wanting for a few years. Nice job, but a heavy cost. Four assets is a bit steep. Would like to have seen more coming back, but will take it. Flames should now have the scoring depth to take a good run.

Who cares about next year?

Enjoy the run we are on! This happens almost never.

I haven't been this excited about this team since the 2005-06 season.

Congratulations to Monahan and his new linemates, Richardson and Lewis.
