Everyone and their dog seems to think it's for Tanev and leafs fans are fretting Liljegren is going the other way

I’m not a big Liljegren fan, he’s pretty vanilla.

Incarcerated Bob sounds familiar but I can't recall if they ever broke news or were just another Eklund?

If its Treliving, it'll have about a dozen weird conditions applied that require a young priest, an old priest, the ark of the convenant...

Bruins need better bottom 3 defencemen. But they have no assets.

Wonder if Tre is trying to swing something for Markstrom and Tanev,

To TOR
Tanev (50%)
Markstrom ($2MM retained)

To CGY
Knies
Liljegren
Samsonov
2024 1st

Even if Toronto wants to pay through the nose, they have nothing really to give. Not without entirely gutting what they have.

Yeah truly Toronto isn’t a great trade partner for us. Like NJ much better.

Pretty sure he is Eklund level. I remember years back he posted that a trade between Montreal for iggy was going down.

That is the Phaneuf trade all over, or the Gilmour one.

Totally agree. Nowhere near enough considering we are retaining on Tanev and Markstrom in addition to taking on a cap dump in Samsonov

[Badgers Nose]

I don’t think Conroy is likely to make a bad trade.

It will be picks and/or high quality prospects coming back.

Stromgren is 20 years old, in his first AHL season, and playing mostly on the fourth line on a good AHL team. In hindsight, it probably would have been better for the Flames to have him play this season in the CHL as an overager, but players this young can bounce back.


Lets look at two more players from Stromgren's draft:

Samu Tuomaala is six months older than Stromgren and was being called a bust last year for subpar play in the Finnish Liiga, but his development took a massive jump seemingly overnight and he's having a good year in the AHL this season.

Brad Lambert was being called a bust last year for not being able to hack it in the AHL, but his development has also seemingly taken a big leap overnight.



Stromgren is really skilled. It will be concerning if he doesn't show any progression next season, but he's still got time to put it together.

As for Ronni, he's a fourth liner on one of the best teams in the Finnish Liiga and he's dominating the Finnish U20 league. He's doing fine for a D+2 player that projects as a potential two-way or defensive forward in the NHL. Other than the fact that he might never play in the NHL due to the off-ice issue

Stromgren was a pretty good gamble for the Flames at that point in the draft. Decent numbers, really young for the draft, and good size, but he has really stalled out ever since getting picked. Hopefully he can get some traction soon here, but it does not look promising right now as far as an NHL future goes.

Ronni was a pretty bad pick off the hop. Flames might have liked some of the raw skills he showed, but he was always a long shot to make it. Really hope that type of drafting (especially in the 1st and 2nd) is done with under Conroy.

They are twits that run a subpar player model, I really need to stop posting any of their stuff

[neo45]

Knies is definitely not garbage
