Why would you want to risk anything with yourself and your family.
And even if you dont think its a big risk to your own well being, why would you want to go somewhere where the majority of the population supports those types of initiatives.

I wouldn't move to any American team if I was Kadri. The US is a legitimately dangerous place for visible minorities without US citizenship these days. Like downright terrifying. Ice can literally just walk up to you and detain you and then after that do pretty much anything they want with the backing of the Whitehouse that does not observe laws/rights when it chooses not to.

If I were Kadri I wouldn't want my family anywhere near that.

Yet the Canadian teams seem to be on a lot of players no trade lists

Which is completely irrelevant to what is being talked about but good try.

How is that relevant? What point do you think you're trying to make? Do players put Canadian teams on no trade lists because of fear for their and their families safety from authority on Canadian streets? You're not stupid are you?

I'd like to get Bischell in any deal with Dallas. Flames would have three monster LHD in Bahl, Bischell and Kuznetzov all 25 and under to go along with RHD Weegar, Parekh and Brzustewicz.

D and G would be built pretty solid IMO

Yeah. The defence would be pretty close to built with that. Would just have to properly develop Parekh and hope he reaches his potential of a top pairing defenceman. Could take a few years but he could be a #4/5 defenceman as early as next year. With guys like Brz, Mews and Morin… the hope would be Weegar’s replacement in the top four is already in the system as well. A solid mix of shut-down defensemen and skilled puck-movers could get the team moving out of the rebuild pretty quickly after likely bottoming out next season.

Is anyone saying no to Andersson for Bichsel 1 for 1?

I’d say no. They should be able to get more than that. Should be anumber if teams calling about him.

Agreed. Was just curious on others' stance. Given how he's played this season, should be more than that.

Could be nothing… but Coleman and Kadri both just posted captionless instagram posts with a bunch of photos as Flames. Very reminiscent of “thanks for everything” type posts

Edmonton does exist just in case you forgot

Cool. And still no one who can score goals

Very ominious photodumps compared to the rest of their posts.

Could be an interesting Christmas break if we see some healthy scratches on Tuesday.

Man... I can't even imagine how the next couple of games would go in that locker room if they are in a trade freeze for the holidays but knew a trade was done.

Either that or they're very aware of the trade talk and having some fun with it


Scratching both for the next couple of games would generate quite the buzz though. Especially if both were moved before Andersson.

…probably pretty normal, with some goodbyes. They’re all adults.
