Ok Spurs. We get it. Everything about the Flames sucks and they are the worst.
Good grief.

Or this is some extra hard bargaining by Conroy using “management” as the excuse.
“I can trade you Markstrom but sincerely Murray willnever go for it unless Mercer is included. That guy still thinks we can make the POs”.

Odds of making it in (before tonight's games) hover around 20%.
But you'd have to weight that considerably lower given the recent departures on the blueline. Real odds probably in the 5% mark and would require a collapse from multiple teams

-Conroy backs away

Conroy should tell Markstrom this is why the trade didn't go through. Tell him that they are not trading him for junk because they think he is worth more than junk.

Mercer 1 for 1 is acceptable to me. Why we gotta squeeze so hard for a deal that literally gives you what you've been saying you need.
The extra pick just feels like a David Putney sitch (iykyk)

Kind of lines up that way doesn’t it? Now, suddenly there’s interest in Toronto!
I call Vegas or Colorado will be “interested” before this is settled

Someone please tell Murray Edwards that when you trade your 3/4 defence that doesn't help you in making the playoffs...
There is also a difference between "Making" and "Competing"... this ownership group needs to stop seeing $$$ in the short term and realize that rebuilding will help them in the long run.

I doubt that. It’s a smokescreen.

Do it Jersey. It’s honestly fair for both sides

That would be pretty smart My owner wants Mercer, and your owner wants Markstrom, just do it and makes both of our owners happy.

I'd take Mercer and a 2nd, potentially even 1 for 1 for Marky.
Gotta think about the dividends moving Marky will do for draft position this year, and the ability to finish bottom 10 next year and keep our pick.
Based on Sec and other reports, I think Conroy is taking a page out of Fitz's clown show and posturing with the media. And good on him for that. Give us Mercer or we'll see you in the summer pal

I would suspect it's for retention? If 22 games of 1.5m or so is a 4th, 2 years of 2 to 3m has to be worth something.

This is either brilliant negotiating tactics by the Flames or very worrying that Edwards thinks the team can still make the playoffs. I really hope they just make the trade.

It isn’t about the playoff revenue from everything I’ve ever heard
It’s that EM does not like to lose . He always wants to win . And people around him (afraid??) constantly reinforce his idea that they can win . Hopefully Conroy can change that
Edwards wants a cup , not playoff revenue . The issue is he can’t see clearly the proper path to get there
Or so I’ve heard
