After a big Flames win with big games from unexpected players, it'll happen tomorrow. Early. The return will be less than everyone thinks yet Adams will act all smug and like he's the champion for that pathetic franchise.

I just don’t see that happening personally. Not that it’d be crazy for him to be a part of the deal. It’s more so that the Sabres are looking for futures and the Flames are in win now mode.

So any deal that would be struck between the 2 sides would have to strike a fine balance. The Flames for instance, can’t just lose Rasmus and still feel like they’ll still have a chance to win this season. So there won’t be a deal to be had there.

But losing a couple forwards and eventually getting an elite one back in the line up, well that would be ok especially if this team can float by with their top line going ham most nights.

Similarly, Buffalo is in win later territory, do they really need Rasmus Andersson right now? Nope. But maybe they pick up a much cheaper Dube right now and maybe he’ll be great by the time they’re ready to win.

If its true they want to do it on this trip, it should be soon.

I've done my visualizations before breakfast the past two months in the living room with my crystals.

There's no stopping it now.

Day off on Wednesday after the back-to-back. Get it done while they're still around the NY area and Eichel can meet up with management face-to-face.

Send Conroy up to Buffalo to pick Eichel up, he'll be all smiles right away.

If it’s Monahan and Dube, who’s playing centre until Eichel is healthy?

Eric Staal could be signed for $750k tomorrow.

Plus one of Ruszicka or Richardson.

Not pretty, necessarily, but I’d trust them to grind for a few months and make it work - some real “waiting for Goku” hockey.

Lewis plays centre also I think. Actually, I think Coleman has in the long past as well.

Buffalo beat Tampa 5-1 tonight. That might convince someone to waive a NTC to go there.

Lol.

And hopefully one day in February every one will collectively #### their pants as Jack re-emerges from the clouds registering "over 9000".

That’s right, NHL… You’re not dealing with the average Calgary Flames anymore…

I'd be perfectly comfortable just rolling some kids.

Gaudreau - Lindholm - Tkachuk
Coleman - Backlund - Pitlick
Mangiapane - Zary - Duehr
Lucic - Ruzicka - Phillips

Could live with Lindholm, Backlund, Gawdin, Richardson down the middle for 3 months.

Under Sutter they could hold the fort.

It’s bad, but knowing Eichel is coming would make it just fine.
