How is 6 million a bad salary when we just finished giving Backlund 700K less a year for far less production?
He plays with O'Reilly and Kane who are on pace for 60 and 55 points, and on the power play with point-per-game-Eichel. He's still not quite on pace for 50 points, and he's about to be 30.

It's a bad contract, stay away.

6M per to a 30 year old for another 5 years who is already trending down and has had health issues.

Anyone who trades for that contract is taking on a bad contract that will end up being a horrific contract.

It's funny how one poster can get an entire message board riled up. That being said this thread has been entertaining to read.

I want O Reilly. If he plays with Tkachuk and Versteeg they can focus on scoring and we can bump down Backlund and Frolik to focus on third line defensive assignments. We can then move Jankowski to the 4th line with Hathaway who he was dynamite with in the AHL. I would be ecstatic.I see some legit scoring depth just out of that one move.

Flames have been scouting the Sabres rather heavily most of the season.

I am hoping the Flames make something big happen. This team as assembled looks like a bubble team that is likely to be bounced in the first round. If they could add a couple forwards that can score and play an in your face game they could go to a team that could do some damage in the playoffs and get home ice in round 1

Now watch Bennett and Kane get traded as part of some package. LOL.

In 2012 when he was accused of not paying his tabs at restaurants and bars, there was also the very prominent story of how he got his concussion in an alleged bar incident. This would be only the beginning of his alleged offences.

In 2013, he had to apology for a homophobic tweet.

In 2014, he was sued for financial damages for assaulting a bar patron.

In 2016, he was investigated (though not charged) for sexual assault, the woman would eventually sue him for bodily harm.

Later in 2016, he was arrested and charged for assaulting three woman and a bouncer at another bar.

Nothing may have been proven in court, but he's pretty much the definition of "where there's smoke." And has long been reported to be a dick everywhere he goes.

And that's overlooking hockey issues, like his teammates throwing his jumpsuit into the shower, multiple healthy scratches and benches and multiple fights with teammates.

I agree, it's like getting in a time machine and go waaay back...when I was in grade 1 recess.

I'm telling on you
No, I'M TELLING ON YOU!!!
Say sorry, or else...
NO, YOU SAY SORRY!!!

Sigh....good to be young, I guess

On a more serious note, I find some trades baffling, and I don't agree with. So, I just close my browser and walk away. After a few hours, everything is fine again.

Yeap. IMO the Flames need one more really good top 2 line center.

Janko or Bennett might get there one day but they aren't there now and as a result its a weak spot on the roster.

Signing Tavares as a UFA would be best case (unlikely) scenario but trading for ROR would work just fine for me.

The way the Flames cap is structured his 7.5 million cap hit doesnt really scare me either.
