Also if you think you're special by being the contrarian pessimist here you've got another thing coming. You're actually with the majority. The rest just learned to how to reel in the Debbie Downer #### because they've figured out how insufferable it is, especially at a time like this for the team.

When did I ever say anything about being special? Why do so many people have to make stuff up rather than just addressing what people post?

What is I still ffeeable is the posters who only can deal with over the top delusional homer posts.

Puck hog, doesn’t use his linemates.

Oof, so Cap dump and a blue chip prospect for 1C and a serviceable backup. Flames get bent over hard here. San Jose should offered 1st and another top prospect on top of Eklund.

Couture with an $8 million cap hit until 2026/2027!

Hanifin is definitely a better player the krebs. Unfortunately as young as Hanifin is he is still going to be a UFA. Just doesn't seem to be much of a market for pending UFAs even if they're young.

Sometimes I feel like we're striving to rival San Jose's cap structure with these recent deals and this rumored one for Elias..

[Badgers Nose]

Maybe the utter lack of interest in these pending FAs convinces them to sign reasonable contracts with us. That would be great. Can we even fit them in? I guess one of the two big guys would have to go. Or all of the other guys like Backs, Zad and Tanev.

Quick glance, in 24/25 when these contracts kick in we'd be OK.

Eklund is a very solid prospect but it doesn't make sense.

We are already very deep on LW and acquiring him basically adds nothing to the team to warrant moving Lindholm and taking on Couture.

I can see why San Jose does it but can't see why Calgary does. I think this is just some made up fake rumour.

It does say that the Flames are the one that didn't do it, so its likely what was proposed by San Jose. Nothing about it seems to be made up, and the Twitter user has insider tweets in the past.

Seems like it was offered and rejected by the Flames. Good.

[Major Major]

I would have seen if I could get a Burns style trade for Couture than trade Lindholm and reap our own futures from that trade.

Couture - 25% for a 3rd round pick in '25

[Sandman]

For god’s sake, no more small fries!!!!

[Sandman]

I wouldn’t doubt that rival GM’s are trying to take advantage of our franchise’s status, and having a rookie GM, by trying to rip us off…

[bigrangy]

If Eklund was a slightly higher caliber of prospect I’d definitely keep talking along that line of thought with San Jose. I doubt Couture would be happy playing out a retirement contract with a new team in a rebuild so I doubt it would end up working though.

But some creative moves that can lead to All-star level talent (which Eklund might end up being, but looks like more of a good middle sixer) would be very welcome.

[CliffFletcher]

Couture has a NTC. Doubt this deal got past spitballing.

I think it's how he has derailed the discussion by stating his opinion is a fact. And doubling down on "facts" just makes it seem like their intent is getting under people's skin and not hockey discussion

“Here’s a sweetener to take this #### contract…. Oh, but we also get a piece worth multiple futures that we will just flip”.

Can these guys at least check their math before tweeting these?

AND retains 50% on Couture's contract, then MAY BE Conny can think about it.
