Friedman now speculating that MTL is the favored landing spot for Hall.
Dredger also saying MTL/Nashville.

Do it, Boston! Make that move! Cave to their demands!

Interesting since they don't seem all that close to winning, at least more so than the Flames. I guess MTL is closer to his family who live in Ontario.

I wouldn't be too upset at missing out on Hall if we can nab a good starting goaltender and another winger in free agency.

It'd be nice to trade Gaudreau for some good young assets, but we can also do that next year if needed.

Yes I agree that part of the reason for what appeared to be a lopsided trade involving Domi is that they are clearing some cap room to go after Hall.

That's nuts. No chance to win, huge taxes, demanding fans and overbearing media. Are they going to pay him 11M for 7 years???

I thinknid rather an FA spending spree that looked like this:

Toffoli
Vatanen
Holtby

Rather than an all put insane overspend on the tippy top.

I still think Taylor Hall is a Flame Friday night though.

I hope so (about Taylor Hall that is).

I don't mind Toffoli, but I think there's a huge chance Vatanen and Holtby would end up dead cap space.

No, but he might because of the full-contact strip clubs.

For the Flames to have a shot at Hall I think they need to be ready for a 6-7 year offer at $8M+ with great bonuses and favorable trade protection (similar to Gio/Backs etc NMC for first few years then a limited NTC).

Calgary is only winning the bid with the long term career offer they won’t be considered on the short term.

This sounds an awful lot like the windup for another bust of an offseason.

Im still hopeful we could get Hall. Not going to change my mind until he signs elsewhere. Come home!

Wow. Does this make Crawford retire?

Seemed more or less a definite, once Lehner was traded. Another goalie enters the UFA market.

Yeah, I have mixed feelings on Hall. I am leaning towards the Flames not getting him and I am not sure if I am upset or not
