[Rumour] Dreger: Calgary pushing hard for Talbot. McKenzie: Flames have interest in Jones too

[BurningSteel]

Well I hope this turns out to be the move of the day IF it has to happen and that somehow Talbot leads the NHL nexy year and we can all backtrack and this thread gets bought back from the dead.

Yes, I meant after the season.

This whole thought terrifies me. I don't want to give anything up when we can go after Dubnyk and Ramo for free.

[Demetric]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo x 10000

Why are the Flames so aggressive on Talbot? Could Ortio's injury be more serious than previously thought?

[underGRADFlame]

For a backup his numbers are pretty solid. Not saying I'm support trading 2x2nd rounders but also have trust in our scouting staff and GM that they might have a better idea of what they'd be getting then us keyboard warriors.

Plus his Ghostbuster masks were awesome! So that wins points.

Spoiler!

[DJones]

Let's just hope Brad is actually a crafty genius and he's just driving the price up.

[Royle9]

2 x 2 = nope
CP implosion if that happens.

[JohnnyTitan]

Put me in the no camp.

I'd rather trade one of our 2nd rounders for a (potentially) higher 2nd rounder in 2016 to keep the stockpile going!! (Ultimate exercise in patience!)

Or are they not convinced of any of the three goalies (Ramo, Ortio or Hillier)

[FlamesAddiction]

What's the opposite of this gif?





Maybe Ortio is part of the deal because they don't think he is NHL ready, but they want Gillies to be the #1 in Stockton.

[Justin]

I'm fearful that Talbot's numbers last season were all too inflated because he had a great team in front of him.

I'll be very satisfied to not see Talbot in a Flames jersey by the end of the night.

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
NYR have offer(s) of two second-round picks for Cam Talbot. Waiting to see if they can increase that yield. CGY, EDM, DAL amongst suitors.

[TurdFerguson]

I'm sure Sather is back channeling this with the old boys in edm. He likley isn't making the progress he was hoping for so is now trying to pressure from the outside.

this scenario is much easier for me comprehend then the one where the flames are pushing hard for Talbot.

[ComixZone]

If it happens, it happens...

One thing I don't want to see? A tandem of Hiller and Talbot.

Talbot and Ortio? Sure, whatever - show us what you have goalies. Intrigue.

...but at the cost of two 2nd round picks? ugh...just...I hope not...

[btimbit]

I like him but not if that's the price. I don't see why we need more goalies. Unless we're moving Hiller as well. I want to see Ortio in the NHL

Plus we already have Hiller and Ortio under contract.

I don't understand why the Flames have been in on these goalies. Personally I don't think any of them are significant upgrades on what we have, if at all.

[Fighting Banana Slug]

Arghh, after all the talk of stockpiling picks for a deep draft, if they use a good chunk of those picks on Talbot, I'll be pissed. Even 2 thirds seems too steep to me, given our relative depth at the position.

2 seconds for a top 4 D, no problem.

So if Talbot is going to be moved, the highest pick involved in the deal is likely 33.

Most likely because that 16th could be used to draft Ilya Samsonov.

[skudr248]

Come on you ####ing oilers, only ####ing time I will cheer for you to win anything, so win Talbot.
