I’d rather see that.

Dude is one year from UFA and is an American player…we gonna take that risk? I like Miller, but there would need to be an extension in place.

What if Markstrom goes down for half a season?

We could have other injuries that could derail a season too.

This is the best option, but neither of these players would want to come to Calgary without a gross overpayment. You have to understand the situation Calgary is in. It is one of the worst teams in the league for attracting talent. Add that to your plan and be prepared for the gross over payment



Really? You've just come to this conclusion? Treliving should have never acquired him to begin with. Impossible contract to move and a one of the worst players in the league. What could possibly go wrong and how could it hold the team back???

Dude. We're having fun and dreaming here. And I think that it helps fans with the Gaudreau debacle.

Why barge in here being captain serious? Lol. People are even joking about it being a pipe dream.

Lol get some sunlight on ya or something. Those serotonin and oxytocin pathways could use a little firing by the looks of it.

Why you heff to be mehd all the time?

And I get that but what ? Are we now terrified of American players ? I mean come on already .
I get it ....we've got Johnny PTSD now but F me if I'm gonna live my life in fear because of the dooshbaggery just committed by our ex #13 POS ex player FML.

We were on an upward trajectory ffs and I as a fan won't rest until we dig deep and search the globe for a better or equal replacement.

It's not impossible!!!! And I hate this feeling of defeat . Let's get back up on the mutha F ing horse and get back in this fight for a cup.

What are we ? Damn ....we had a season to build on .....just not forget and accept.

Let's do this.

[cannon7]

Let's drum out all the American players! And then acquire J.T. Miller! Oh, wait...

Flames fans have become Oilers fans. No difference. Accept it, embrace it, and stop with your embarrassing superiority complex. Sad day in the history of Flames fandom and this site IMO. HFBoards has always been filled with fart sniffers, but that is spilling over the CP, which is disappointing and sad. As EE said, Flames fans are better than this. It appears not.

[BlindMilwaukee]

Oh, there's the ignore button.

Is this what would be called a Karen post?

How are people supposed to act?

Just be serious and depressed and shrivel up in the face of this setback?

Or only talk about Lanny-approved realistic ideas?

Getting mad about CP being a bit emotional and trying to cope in the wake of this is like getting mad at a thunderstorm for rolling through.

Better than what has been put on display, especially by yourself. The mindless attacks on the player are weak and pathetic. This is a management issue, because it is something they are supposed to control. A failure in this regard lands on the manager's head, no one else. It's their purview and their sphere of control. Point the fingers where they should be pointed. The player is only exercising their rights and doing what is right for them. The fact the Flames surrendered the control is their fault, not the fault of the player.

JT Miller isn't UFA and the price for the Canucks to move him within the division to the Flames would be astronomical. Then there's the fact that he's a UFA next season. I doesn't seem very realistic.

And how is trying to dictate others opinions going for you?

Seems like a needless struggle. That's a fair perspective to have though, but this is the trade and speculation thread.

A.k.a. wild fantastical armchair GMing for depressed Flames faithful with PTSD.

It's always been exactly that. Soo.. chill?

[EVERLAST]

No

[PepsiFree]

I'm just here to watch my best friends fight.

[djsFlames]

Yeahh..

No one can stoop to Oilers fandom. To that Mona Lisa of cringe.

No one.

No team or fanbase can be that aggressively humiliating, nor ever will be.

[Badgers Nose]

I'm holding out hope for a series of out of nowhere blockbuster trades that transform the Flames. Like when Boston moved big Joe, or LA got Carter and company from Philly.

I'm just not keen on signing a winger to the team's biggest contract. Now that the antichrist left for Ohio we can redo this team. Tre has a small window here to do some serious roster changes.

[DFO]

Every NHL team has a healthy contingent of fans on the fanatical end of the spectrum. And newsflash - they’re all pretty much the same.
