I really wonder how deep Calgary was in on him.

With what the price was, and if SJ had that 1st from the start on the table, then the Flames were never in on him really. No way BT was going to send yet another 1st rd pick particularly on a rental.

I still think BT is looking at something MUCH bigger. Maybe wont happen today but come the draft?

Outside of Anaheim, I don't think there's a team in the Pacific wants to have Calgary in the first round. That team is built to break some hearts.

Yeah our offer must have looked quite a bit different than what SJ sent.

Maybe Treliving was working hard to drive the price up? Hoping for a Hoffman, Tatar, Gallagher, etc.

I don't think Vegas minds the match up either

Have a feeling Tatar is going to be the guy the Flames are targeting at this point.

Come on now.

[Monahan For Mayor]

Kane 1st condition on him resigning. If he doesn't it turns into a 2nd.

[burn_this_city]

The only hearts they've been breaking are ours.

27 year old talented winger, and under contract for 3 more years ($5.3M).

16 goals this year, previous goal totals: 25, 21, 29, 19.

Travis Yost @travisyost
The Washington Capitals have escalated effort in an attempt to land Erik Karlsson before the 3PM trade deadline, per league source. But running out of time.

He's a bit small, but he would be a good addition.

Iain MacIntyre @imacSportsnet
Last-hour progress on Vanek deal. Looks like one will happen. #Canucks

We are talented but small and delicate outside of Tkachuk Ferland and Giordano. Nobody is afraid of the Flames in the playoffs.

Newsflash Eric...they are in a playoff spot.

It didn't take long at all for you to forget about Stewart...

Yeah, ideally I'd like a big scoring power forward type of winger.

But adding a skilled scoring winger is really appealing as well.

lol Kings, Ducks, Sharks, Knights welcome the Flames to a challenge. The team that hasn't done anything in the playoffs for a long time.

LA isn't, they have a game in hand and are two points back - and have just added some significant pieces.

The Flames saving grace may be St. Louis apparently bowing out.

[burn_this_city]

Kings are the only team who we've had their number for a while now.

Hence their horrific road record.
