Everyone here is dumping on the Oilers for picking up Kane, but we've signed guys like Vernon, Gilmour, Bertuzzi, and Bill Peters. Heck, we even signed Theo Fleury to a tryout deal so he could sell his book and the Flames could sell some preseason tickets. You think our organization is so innocent?

Where is anyone comparing the Flames to the Oilers or Blackhawks? No one. Just you.
What does any of this have to do with Perry or the Blackhawks?

So by doing “research” they would supposedly find a record of everything he ever did or said?
That’s some pretty fantastic research.

This is amongst the most idiotic criticisms of the Flames posted on this site
That’s a high bar to reach

So, will Perry go back to number 24 or stick with 94? Both are available on the Oilers roster. Should we add a poll?

Meh, he probably berated someone on staff beyond a simple misunderstanding. My guess.

What did Fleury do either when he was given a tryout ?
Political views post playing career didn’t impact his tryout/ didn’t exist

I'm still trying to figure out what ANY of Vernon, Fleury or Gilmour did while they were under Flames 'control'. Peters got booted when the story came out, as did Sutter.
MegaErtz is clearly in a state of confusion somewhere near Whitemud Drive.
But that's pretty normal for an Oilers troll. Sometimes I wonder why they post here other than to be a total annoyance or because they're so disingenuous with themselves they think they're offering a "counterpoint".

No trolling as far as I can say, just pointing out the kettle for being black when criticizing the Oilers' employment of dirtbags.
What Gilmour did was pretty awful and the Flames knew about it when we acquired him. Bertuzzi was a well known POS, and the Flames turned a blind eye. The only saving grace is that this was decades ago.

Times I've cringed as a Flames fan:
Signing Marchment
Signing Bertuzzi
Acquiring Simon
That's the list.

I'm pretty sure I know why Perry's contract was terminated...putting the toilet roll on the wrong way:

The thing with Bertuzzi is that he did that thing, but other than that, he seems like a good guy. He is apparently a really nice person off the ice.
