2024 Off-season trade rumours and speculation thread

Or they could continue repeating the same information for Flames fans for another 100+ posts I suppose, that should change a few more minds around here I suspect

Happy to say that Double K is pretty reasonable in comparison

-Breaks up the echo chamber
-Helps makes flames fans less disappointed when the return is inevitably significantly less than they were expecting as always

I refuse to believe that Conroy turned down 2025 1st + Holtz for Markstrom.

That's an absolute laugher. This place, an echo chamber? Kid, there are posters here who have been slamming on every move the Flames have made for the last 20 years. We don't need you for that.

In other words, concern trolling.

You're not fooling anyone.

There is no echo chamber you fricken moron.

There are several posts in here saying they think we lost our chance to sell Marky at his highest value.

And we rip our own team and franchise to shreds all the time on here.

I wonder if the 1st had unacceptable conditions (that moved it from a first to something lesser and the chances were good that would occur) - say, not making the POs turned into a 3rd or something .

Or, in reality, that offer was never on the table

There should be some type of system on here that allows veteran posters (i.e. users with 5 bars of experience) to automatically ban clear trolls like Moon/Spurs/Dgibb10/Tyler Dellow.

Say once 10 5+ bar users have voted to ban a specific user, then it's just done.

If you believe calgarypuck is an “echo chamber” then perhaps you may consider checking out some other threads, or even read some non-Devils related info in this thread. I’ve been here for close to 20 years and I’ve yet to see anything resembling consensus on damn-near any topic, including trade rumours, player valuation or direction the team should go.

I think you just think you are the smartest person in the room, and don’t actually listen to what others have to say. But don’t worry, you’ll find at least 5-10 more different ways to say the same damn thing as you have in your previous 100+ posts about the Devils only on a Flames board.

Like I said, it’s interesting.

All I know is ... one more month of this season and then on to Summer!

This summer is going to be interesting with the pieces the Flames can sell at the draft.

We can always pray Flames win lottery and draft Celebrini.

Well, we mostly agree that E=NG

Just the fact that this dumbass would call this place a echo chamber shows he has no clue what he's talking about or where he is. Just here to cause a stir and should be banhammered.

We have lots of opposition fans that are here, and have been here a long damn time so it's not us, it's him.

Could’ve been someone above him if it was a possibility

Conroy should be thanking me. Because the expectations on here are WAYY off of reality, which will lead to a lot of flames fans upset, whether he trades him for market value (significantly less than expectations on here), or gets nothing for him.

In reality, Mercer was never on the table for Markstrom, just like he was never on the table for Meier. I remember when sharks fans were convinced they'd get Mercer+Holtz+1st for Meier

Wanting opposing viewpoints banned while claiming it isn't an echo chamber. hmmmm

That's an amazing amount of self-conceit in a tiny package.

So if market value for a #1 goalie is so much less, why didn't Nashville or Boston jump on the offers Fitzgerald made for their guys?

In reality, Markstrom was never on the table except for premium assets coming back. Conroy was not shopping him.

Fitzgerald was acting like the rude neighbour who pops into your garage sale and starts offering you pennies for things that aren't even for sale.

Are opposing viewpoints, in fact, banned?

No?

It's not an echo chamber.

Boston tried to trade Ullmark.

Nashville is in a playoff spot

Didn’t want to mess with the chemistry in the room.
