I loved every nanosecond of that presser.

Both guys have absorbed what happened, digested it , accepted it and now embrace the idea of being a Calgary Flame.

I'm stoked to see what kind of impact these guys have here and I'm not lying when I say I high fived myself when Johnathan said he'd get Lindy 50......thats like Messier guaranteeing the W in my books and he is the guy with the ability to do that.

Hot damn 🔥 can we start hockey sooner????

Get them signed Brad !!!!! NOW and no f ing around this time. Get r done!

I really don't think Brad f'd around with the last two. A contract takes two parties to want to sign.

I guess life is not bad in Arizona however. Speaking of Arizona - how about we throw $1M at Phil Kessel for the top line :P
The weather is pretty nice there in the winter, and it's not like there would be a risk of having to stay there past the beginning of April.

Weegar definitely came off as very well spoken, here are a few clips of him in a less formal setting on Missin Curfew (apparently he played with Shane O'Brien back in 2014 when Weegar was an AHL rookie):

From June 2021 (starts at 1:25:00, he specifically talks about his "friend" Huberdeau at 1:33:20):




From June 2022 (starts at 103:25):

They don't have year round Weiner stands on the street in Calgary. AMARITE?!

I think the only way they fly in for that sort of thing is if they signed long term

I feel like almost all players would have a list that looks like this:

1. Edmonton
2. Calgary
3. Winnipeg
4. Ottawa
5. Minnesota
6. Columbus
7. Buffalo
8. Maybe Islanders/Devils/Detroit?
He probably had the top 3 all Edmonton just to make sure there was no mistake.

It can be modified. Depends on how it is written, but players usually have to submit a list at the start of the season (July 1st).

Montreal is not a desirable location. High taxes, french language, annoying media. Toronto would be a media nightmare also.

If winning is important, there would be a lot more teams on this list. Seattle, Arizona, Chicago, Vancouver, Philly

Yeah, though an 8 team list might be 50-50 undesirable vs strategic like that. So Bottom 4 desirable teams (Winnipeg/Buffalo/Ottawa/Seattle) and then 4 that would really want you. And yes, if you predicted Gaudreau re-signing, Calgary’s not a big concern.

Hahaha. What?

There are a dozen reasons why either player might not be in a rush to sign his (likely last) long term contract with a team for whom he has never played.
