Price to LTIR

My bet is the Florida 1st goes with Monahan.

No chance, you wouldn't give up a first. Just move Looch instead. I like Lucic but he isnt worth giving up a 1st round pick for at this point of his career with one year left.

So is Backlund the best 3rd line center in the league?

Rightfully so.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

I don’t like the term or the AAV but whatever. Stanley Cup or bust.

This is the worst ####ing contract in Flames history.

Brad just made a terrible mistake.

Hell of a pivot.

[GioforPM]

Hopefully the cap will be high enough where $7M is a medium salary in, say, 3-5 years.

Boo this man

[Dx54]

we live in a world now where 9.5-10 mil is the new 7-8 mil aav. the term is bad but the $$ is actually pretty generous

[SaskyFlamesFan]

If its the FLA first then its

Tkachuk
Monahan
4th

For

Huberdeau
Weegar
Schwindt
Kadri

Works for me

Is it a mistake if they win the cup in the next few years

[Nadal Fan]

The last time the Flames got a long time Leaf who briefly played in Colorado it worked out pretty well for us

...aaand here we go. That didn't take too too long.

Really like what Kadri will bring but that’s a terrible contract. Flames are better than last year though and the next two season are going to be a lot of fun.

[OldSam]

Well, this is a surprise. Honestly don't care about cost and term. Not my money. It is a big FU to everyone that disrespected the team and the city, including the media - I love it!! Thanks to ownership and management for taking a stand. If it goes down in five years, it goes down and they will do something else. Great job. Darryl will get them together. Very excited.

JC, 11AM is a weird time to be drinking

[Scroopy Noopers]

The term isn’t “bad”. It’s necessary to get the player to sign, who you want here in a winning environment for the first half of it. The second half doesn’t matter in that regard.
