I'm sure the Flames want to. It's not their choice whether he stays or goes.

I really hope buffalo can pull out a win today.

Yup. C’mon 55 sign.

4 lines that seem to have chemistry and set roles is huge for this team right now.

Kadri and the kids are very effective and dangerous consistently, top line suddenly has offensive chemistry, Backlund line dominates at both ends, and the 4th line just works hard and causes some chaos now.

If we string a few more wins together here the playoffs inexplicably become an actual possibility, as weird as that sounds

The wins are fun. But they've shown all year that they string some Ws together and then immediately lose an equal number of games in a row.

So are we still selling Tanev?

The third pairing on defense not being mediocre anymore helps too.

Francis just said there hasn't even been a single contract conversation between CGY and Tanev. He's gone for sure.

Yeah, just feels different this time. But you’re right

[Gaudfather]

Even better second period by the Flames!

You’ve got a fair share of fellow posters who were sure Wolf and/ or Vladar should be playing instead of Markie.

I think asset management is the priority with a playoff bubble team. So, my answer is definitely yes. Get valuable assets for the guy with Friedman saying 7 teams are “swirling” around him.

100%. If you can get a first rounder for an expiring D-man who is in decline in his mid 30s, that is massive. I actually don’t think we’ll miss him that much either.

[Barnet Flame]

The Flames performance post all star break is the complete opposite to just about every year.

It’s been widely reported the Flames have offered 8 years and about 60 million, at least earlier in the year. But Sec said Hanifin wanted to be paid $8M per year yesterday. So, I think he’s saying that Hanifin wants more money to stay in Calgary?

It’s been there for months. He wants to raise his kids in America and be able to
Golf when he’s not at the rink.

You could be the 1976 Habs and you’d miss a player like Tanev.
