I know some players and extended family were aware of it, but that was back in the 2000s when forums like this were the primary source of community. I had a player's wife reach out to me here with thanks because I posted positively about said player.

Condition: ->depending on which 2024 1st round pick Detroit sends to Ottawa (their own or Boston’s), they will send the other 2024 1st round pick to Calgary

Defence after trades:
Weegar/Andersson
Kylington/Pachal
Edvinsson/Hanley
Oesterle or Gilbert
I really doubt Yzerman would trade Edvinsson 1:1 for Hanifin, let alone Edvinsson plus all that other stuff.

GIF and meme posts have been a part of CP for as long as I can remember and you can convey (or not) quite a bit in a GIF honestly. I appreciate that Sec really does seem to have a good grasp on what the majority of posters here use CP for and posting funny/fun memes and GIFS is right at the top of that list. Hang out in a game thread or a PGT and you’ll really understand just how important GIFs are to this community in conveying how they are feeling as a fan/about the team. It’s remarkable fun that Sec seems to have blended this aspect with another aspect of being a fan which is trades/speculation.

I mean at the end of the day, if the GIFS/Memes are really that upsetting to your experience on CP, just keep on scrolling. They aren’t going anywhere here and no amount of dissonance and annoyance that’s presented by posters who are put out by them will change. I honestly don’t get the issue and don’t really think posters are ‘rightfully’ calling it out if it means it negatively impacts the vast majority of posters who are enjoying the content.

We've even had players post here.

Is Okotoker still around?

I'd 100% read it if I was a player or in Flames management. Amazing view on what a dedicated portion of the fanbase is feeling.

There is no chance the organization doesn't know about this site.

Conroy is a guy who called into the Rob Kerr aftershow once on his drive home from a playoff game, I'd be absolutely shocked if he wasn't aware this place existed.

That's a fair point- but how do you assess the value of a prospect like Stankoven?
Is he worth multiple 1sts on his own?

It is a tricky scenario.

That is for the scouts and Conroy to figure out. I prefer quality over quantity though

I can easily imagine Connie and the management guys at the end of a long day kicking back and reading some of the trade suggestions with a drink and cigar saying..

Akin to an ape, if Francis can find this site any one can.

Any other players/former players/execs/media we know have accounts here?

What about the Barn Burner guys? It would be fun to interact with them on here. We could rip on Frank together.

Has anyone heard anything about teams being interested in Vladar? Or the Flames trying to trade him away?
