I still don't understand why you would want to get McDavid, and then the twins. Why would you sign them after you went after McDavid?

Not even close to fitting with the identity the flames are trying build.

Without good Vet's to help develop young players, you end up with an Oil-Change.
If they are going to sign some UFAs for some decent cash I'd rather put that towards someone closer to 27-28 than I would players in their mid-30's.

If they have that much cap space and need to get to the floor I'd like to see Feaster make a trade to take on a short term big contract along with a decent asset for some of the Flames' garbage.

They just need to get to the cap floor, as long as they do that I don't want them spending money just for the sake of spending money.

Stay the course, become a drafting and developing team. Move you guys into roles on your roster and turn them into core players. Only go UFA to compliment those guys, don't go fishing for core players.

This team will never have to worry about hitting the floor. Look how many vets still haven't found a home. Just over-pay 1 year terms on a few vets, even if they get stuck on the third and fourth lines - as long as they are the types of players that is conducive to the locker room and support the players on the ice.

Besides.. the Sedins sort of creep me out.

Sign and then trade them to two seperate teams and watch them cry whilst running away with picks and/or prospects.

I wish they would split up, you would think they would be sick of each other by now. I don't think they will explode if they do something separate after ~30 years. C'mon!

Only if there's another flood this summer.

They could leave the 'dome filled with water, then they'd have a place for all their diving.

I think it would go something like this if they got separated.

that's because they are the same person

in two different dimentions

Anyway, I might have thought about it a few years ago, but this all but sealed the deal for me:



No heart

Just to kind of defend the OP, never thought we would sign Bertuzzi either...

But to also not defend the OP, Hellz no!

We finally have people with good attitudes teaching the kids. That alone should make the Sedins a no go.

We can easily sign others that fit well personality wise if we need to.
