Flames place forward Blake Coleman on injured reserve

[topfiverecords]

Once these guys are traded the new teams should sit them because what if they get injured. Protect the assets!

I always say you should never use players at all. Collectors don’t want them unless they are in mint condition and still in the original packaging.

I would scratch all 3 until they are traded if it is possible, yes.

I don't want to win anyways. The most important thing is ensuring these assets are healthy so we don't lose out on a bunch of picks.

If you pay attention to every second ad on during a hockey game you will understand why the league will have issues with teams scratching players for numerous games.

Gambling is big business and deciding that you are going to sit Andersson, Coleman, and Kadri for the next ten games is going to impact the odds and bookmakers don't like things being skewed without proper grounds.

I'm pretty sure this team isn't just allowed to bench its players because they may or may not be traded in a month.

It's happened a few times in the past and Bettmen and the PA were both not to pleased about it. I have a suspicion that if the Flames did try to bench Coleman without having a trade imminently in place they'd get a call from the league about it. This is why guys get pulled out the games 1/2 way through because they've been traded mid game.

It is what it is my friend.

You've got to stop being so doom and gloom about everything. It's not a healthy mindset to have.

Go smoke a joint and find some positives or something.

Flames to bring out their dead.....DING!!!!

Are the Flames actively trying to trade Coleman? All I have heard is that teams are interested. I'm not so sure they even want to trade him this season.

I think they would trade him for a first or something equal...nothing less

No one cares
Coleman doesn't matter
We're all gonna die

I bet the rumors about Montreal were made up

Might as well just forfeit the games and not play anything so we can rack up losses.

[Jiri Hrdina]

You need some level of cooperation with these guys potentially. If you want to kill that possibility go ahead and scratch them and see how that plays out.

You'd think he'd be positive about this. Not a massive injury. Possibly using a nagging thing as a loophole to keep out of the lineup with mutual agreement and a trade incoming.

We all knew Iggy was being traded and I'm pretty sure he was pulled halfway through the game.

It is frowned upon but happens

Yes... But Don Baloney is going to force him to play injured

I'm sorry, but this is not proper haiku structure.

That is because it is a mantra and not a haiku

It's not "quite normal" though.
