Ditto.

I can't get past this sinking feeling that this is the Regehr trade all over again: people freaking out over a return that in hindsight is actually better than what the deal winds up being.

Given that experience, I'd be very happy with Iggy for Kokh+Bart+1st, which ultimately is what they said they wanted: A-level prospect + B-level prospect/roster player + 1st round pick. I just hope we're not giving anything else up...

I think i'm going to drink a lot of beer tonight.

Yeah don't be so diluted.

I think 'being diluted' is going to be the new 'mind bottling'.

I'm about to dilute the water in my bloodstream with alcohol.

I feel like something is lodged in my throat. I'm so sad

And of course TSN going over. No mention of the Flames game and football filler on TSN2. Fu TSN.

Someone said Kolanos was scratched tonight for the Heat... could be him.

[Sheva #7]

Basically KoKo will be in the best case scenario another Tanguay. We need guys with grit and toughness and skill not high risk Russian prospect who might have some skill...i'm really struggling to see what kind of identity we are building here, if someone can advise that would be great

[#-3]

Flames have 49 Contracts and will be getting two or three back, nothing will leak until the game is over, it's vary likely that someone in the game tonight is going with him.

Ken King confirms that he, Majority Owner Murray Edwards and GM Jay Feaster did have a review session this morning. #TradeTracker

Why is Ken King there? Feaster obviously has to review a deal of this magnitude through ownership, but there's no reason the president needs any input on the return.

What about those who wanted to blow it up and aren't complaining about the return?

[robertsfanatic]

my good friend is a bruin fan and he is excited because he knows that now i will cheer with him...and he always goes to bruin games so i will have to join him this time.

The "formal goodbye" thing makes me even sadder than when I saw he was a scratch tonight though...

I agree with the sentiment. This organization is lacking in tough, physical players with size especially at the forward position.

Yeah, it would have been nice to get a peek at the Flames' dressing room and get the feeling of the mood around the team before the game starts. TSN showing highlights instead...
