Rumored returns are all wins IMO...if they are even close to reality. Plus the cap space.

If the Flames suck then you tear it down at the deadline

He is not a #1 guy but a pretty damn good #2 or 3 on any team

Fun stuff. Can’t wait.

Honestly at that point do it

If I’m 3 more years we can’t get an arena clearly this city and franchise don’t GAF

Even if he isn’t a 100 pt player . You win with elite talent

Spare parts for stars has never made a team better

He said the Hawks and Yotes were getting worried

Also you can be a worse regular season team and a better playoff team.

What are the rumored returns that aren't being made by fans. Only one I have seen from an insider is that Parayko and Kyrou aren't on the table

Who said spare parts? Kyrou is a spare part? 75 points and dominant in the playoffs.

Same posters who constantly complained about the guy are now acting like he is Crosby

I guess we will see, great hands...slowest guy in the league

10.5x8 won't age well IMO

You guys can disagree, I think the Flames are selling high big time

The Blues Athletic writer said Kyrou, Krug, 1st.

Bring in some players to play with Lindholm and Mangiapane.

Plop Monahan on the top line and see if he can bounce back a bit.. and get the Flames a pick.

Sort of missed the boat on these I think. They needed to go at the draft. To many competitors that would want these guys are already maxed out on salary.

I'd be shocked if Krug waived but that isn't a bad worst case.

Do you remember Simpson, Hulse, Morris, Saprykin, Wilm, etc....

Man, no playoffs for the better part of a decade, crappy drafting, years wasted trying to find Iginla a proper center, no name after no name.

Pass thanks.

That was also a time with no salary cap. I agree - it can be difficult and you have teams like Arizona and Buffalo.

However, I think a team like the Calgary Flames who can spend to the cap might not have as difficult of a time to at least look somewhat exciting on the ice.

So you think after we make the Tkachuk trade we will be a significantly worse regular season team (presumably a 10% or more drop, getting maybe 98 points) and will get in the playoffs and make the third round? I would be willing to take that bet.

I want a deal with all the guys they said we couldn't have.

Tkachuk for Kyrou, Parayko (overpriced 3rd pair but him and Zadorov would be fun) and a 1st

No thanks to Krug

What's wrong with Krug?

He said 90+ points. That would be the bet. 91 and he wins. Making the third round is your invention.

Safe bet Krug wouldn't waive his NTC for us.

Well he said they would do better in the playoffs next year. I am more interested in that fascinating part, a significantly worse regular season team but a playoff juggernaut. If 91 points makes the playoffs, great. But to be a better playoff team (like he said) you have to make the playoffs and to be better you have to make the third round.
