The Klingberg signing just seems like him trying to show them he can do something and draw free agents along with Bertuzzi.

If we know 1 thing about Brad from his time in Calgary if he has cap space he will spend it on something it burns a hole in his pocket.

You didn't understand it yesterday, nor how editing works.

So you still believe that if you edit your post after I respond to it that I get notified to revise my response?

Its OK Leafs fan, its been a long 56 years, things have to be getting frustrating by now.

Ya, that makes total sense, I have spent 20+ years on a Calgary Flames forum talking about nothing but the Flames pretty much every day but I am actually a Leafs fan! Yup, you sure put that one together! You are absolutely brilliant when it comes to deducing things! Keep digging up though, you're doing a fine job! You couldn't answer my questions and so you come back with the Ol' your a Leafs fan lol"

The absolute irony

One hell of a long con for no apparent reason beyond this moment in time where we can discuss the possibility or lack thereof of picking up the worst defensive dman in the NHL. Some might say the remoteness of this moment happening would argue against you being a Leafs fan but if you are clairvoyant you could have been waiting for this exact perfect moment to use your 20 year history as deep cover of your Maple Leaf love.

Nobody who is clairvoyant would be a Leafs fan.

I don't even know what we're witnessing as an argument here? What am I missing?

What questions?

If Calgary is on his NT list? Would he wave it if asked?

I have zero idea. Niether do you.

But see, thats me knowing what I dont know and understanding that.

I think so too. Wait for major injuries around the league or the trade deadline. Keep bringing in the young guys.

Make it a season long training camp. Figure out who wants to be here.

It’s good to try new things.

Tell me where I said I know who is in his M-NTC? You sure like putting words in people's mouths.
I gave reasons why I am confident he wouldn't and why they are. Please, enlighten me why he would waive to come to Calgary? Can you come up with 10 teams that are more likely to be on that list than the Flames? I am genuinely curious.

Nobody can tell, really. “Great observation, thanks” is being thrown around a lot, a few people are apparently Oilers or Leafs fans.

The important thing is to encourage whatever this is. Keep that pot stirring.

Personally I feel that sassy PMs stemming from in thread slap fights should be posted verbatim in said thread. If I gotta read 75% of your fight it’s plain rude to leave me out in the dark for the final blows. So many fired up posters ready to rock and roll at the drop of a hat. You guys gotta relax a bit you’re wound up tighter than a duck‘s butthole.

Nobody knows who’s on whose NTC so we don’t need to act like we know for a fact. Maybe Calgary is, maybe they’re not. Lord forbid there’s any kind of speculation in the trade rumours and speculation thread. Sheesh

That's fair, I have three from topfiverecords at the moment, two after he announced he put me on ignore.

Was just checking to see if you still need help with the reply feature since you haven’t been able to send a response. So I guess I’ll ask here instead. Let me know when you want me to show you how to reply to a PM. Or ask Pepsi, he uses it a lot.

Whoa, hey, no need to bring me into this just because I didn’t respond to the one you sent me.

I’m just a humble observer. A purveyor of the arts.

I have not PM'ed anyone. If I have something to say it will be right here in the open.

Duck's butthole for the win!
