Honesty, fair

The eye role is more about the "I'm done" comment. When you use gifs and vague comments to pass on tidbits of unconfirmed info publicly, you have to expect people to question you

I'm not questioning whether sec is right or not by the way (I can confirm what he's speculating is accurate) it's more about how the info is handled. Until a deal is done, it's all grey. It's never black/white until it's official. The amount of talk between teams, and within organizations is non-stop and the rumors are wild when you know *anyone* in the know

Connys actually been more tight lipped then Tre was with friends/family, but there's always talk. With the GM support staffs being way bigger, and with the organization building from within, word spreads around the city pretty quick if you know anyone

Anyways, long post, but it's not that what sec is saying isn't true, it's that post specifically and the idea of being "done"

Something actually helpful. If word is true, Markstrom knows he's played his last game as a Flame

I have it on pretty decent hunch that Markstrom is getting traded. Literally bro of a bro type of source. But he's been right before. So I'd say buckle up....let's see what happens. Usually when I hear from this guy, there's too much smoke for there not to be some cooking going on.

Uhh yeah! Me too, guys! I’ve also heard Markstrom is getting traded! Friend’s cousin’s brother’s sister’s fiancé told me. They were sitting in section 214.

Would explain why the team is playing a bit flat tonight too

Rhett was talking about that on Barn Burner the other day. Trading Markstrom will take the air right out of the dressing room. So, I’m sure the return will be significant.

The talking heads are going to be so bored on deadline day lol

Pepsi, I've been here for way too long to randomly pretend I'm some insider lol

Thanks for the inside info for those who are connected!

Unrelated, can salary retention on a player be for certain years or does it have to be for the length of the remaining term?

[MacDaddy77]

Length of term

All or none

I have heard there is retention on Marky, not sure how much and there is another piece coming from us. Again, nothing confirmed, just what I have heard.

If we somehow get this return for Markstrom who we signed as a UFA to a contract not everyone loved, coming off a season last year where he wasn't that good....that will be unbelievable and completely changes the landscape of this retool

[CF84]

I just had four incisions due to a laparoscopic surgery that could have had 4 or 5 cuts so I think there will be four pieces coming back to the Flames in a Markstrom trade. The Markstrom portion of the trade is of course represented by my gallbladder (which was hyperkinetic had an EF that was close to Markstrom's recent save percentage at 95%).
