Rooney was definitely a panic buy from Tre.

The Flames just lost Johnny and knew that Tkachuk was leaving as well, Tre needed to shore up the forward depth with someone. In comes Rooney...

It was weird to me that he was signed on day 1 for two years. after johnny walked, really though it was rooney's team from that point.

Rooney has literally been below replacement level his entire career. A general manager should have known this.

Zohorna and Phillips were the only major absences from Wranglers practice this AM

Every year the GM is likely going to have one acquisition go bad. Last year it was trading a 4th for Pitlick and a cap hit that I think was 1.75 million...this year it's the Rooney signing.

Really not bad...much progress since the James Neal mess!

We need someone at the airport doing a headcount on really tall Eastern Europeans boarding the charter. Is it 3 or is it 4?

With Phillips and (probably) Zohorna, it'll be the Mutt 'n' Jeff Show.

Just want to give props to Scorp, he is the first person to have called this. Friedman is saying Pelletier, but I think Scorp and Leslie have better info.

It's as if Eric Francis doesn't know his own hand from his foot when it comes to flames news.
