I really hope this is true. I’m a big McQueen fan. Thanks for the scoop.

Get to 9 if you can and then see if you can get any higher. You never know who ends up slipping to 9 too.

Conny blew it?

I would love it if we could get Robertson, he would work great with Frost IMO. As long as Frost can carry the puck and push back the D slightly, and dishing the puck back, then Robertson would be great at finishing those. I also think that he would make our PP instantly better, and we would have 3 elite shots on the Flames (Robertson, Coronato, Sharangovich).

I'm not an "insider" and can tell you Andersson would not waive to go to Buffalo/sign there long term. That rumor is hilarious.

Andersson, Pops and 18

Byram and 9

Des that rustle jimmies? Mine are rustled.

I doubt Buffalo would do that. Byram alone is worth more than 18OA. Quite a bit more, I’d say. Especially in this draft. You could take him right out of the deal and that would be closer to the mark.

I can’t see Anderson waiving their under any circumstance.

Believe Andersson has also said he wants to win, right?

Unless Buffalo is about to turn the hockey world upside down with a string of moves, and Andersson would just be one, then I’m with you. I’d be shocked if he agreed to go to Buffalo.

IF Byram is actually a dickwad, would be fine with him involved in the deal then flipping him for someone else or another high pick for next year.

Not sure how I feel about McQueen, I like his scoring ability, he skates well for his size, which can be a challenge for taller guys. A little worried about his back. He seems to play a style suited for a smaller frame, not sure how well that will translate to the NHL where space is harder to come by. He needs to bulk up, and be more of a play driver, use his size, and outmuscle guys instead out scoring them if that makes sense.

He's a gamble, he is going to need to work on alot of aspects of his game if he is going to be successful. A project, not sure the flames should take him, they already have a project in honzek

I don't think it's impossible.

Worse scenarios possible then playing on a pairing with Dahlin long term

[Macho0978]

I still think a 3-way involving the Rangers and Buffalo makes sense.

Flames - 9 and Byram
Buffalo - K Miller, Pospisil and 12
Rangers - R Anderson double salary retention, Coleman and 32

Robertson is from California and fits their window to start getting better. They have Cellebrini and Snith up the middle so a top line winger would fit great with them.

SJ desperately needs dmen. If they move the 2oa, it's to get dmen.

Saw JFresh reporting that Peterka had the highest 5-on-5 shooting PCT ever recorded. Obviously it's a recent stat, but still something to think about.

Of if McQueen is there, Buffalo doesn't do deal.
