nobody called this a big shakeup other than media members looking for eyeballs

maybe don't be so gullible next time

all the rumored players would have been either terrible asset management or not even allowed due to their contracts lol

Silence you! This is Earth-Shattering! The core is shaken! Shaken! To the Core!

This is the piece that had to be moved to prove to the rest of them that nobody is safe! Everyone is on the table now!

Old testament! Real wrath of God type stuff! Fire and Brimstone coming down from the skies, rivers and seas boiling, 40 days of darkness, the dead rising from their graves, dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!!

I am not sure Solovyov is any better but he certainly isn’t worse and obviously much younger with room to grow.

Not a big move but hopefully the start of clearing out a lot of what needs to go.

I don't know about you but now my Osterle jersey is useless. Useless I tell you!

Looking for Huby and Kadri to rebound and prove management wrong.

Right after I bought my Oesterle jersey!

Said no one. Ever.

Because he isn't good.

This is bad if they want to tank. I would have played him more instead of waiving him.

Well if your last name is also Oesterle there might be a chance!

Back in the day, the Flames signed Grossman to put themselves as close as possible to the cap before invoking LTIR. Once that was done, they didn't need him, so they waived him and he never played here again.

This time, the Flames gave Oesterle a roster spot to put themselves as close as possible to the cap before invoking LTIR. Now that's done, they don't need him, so they are waiving him and I don't expect to see him play here again.

Both times, various posters on CP lost their kyit about how bad the player was and how stupid the Flames' management is for signing him.

‘We want to give you a job for a month for bean-counting reasons and then dump you in the minors’ is not a sales pitch that will help you sign good players. If that's the job you're trying to fill, expect the winning applicant to be a crash test dummy on skates.

Once they signed Grossman he was immediately inserted into the lineup and got shredded vs the Oilers when they opened the new rink.

It was a terrible signing.

Oesterle may not be a terrible signing, but he sucks and should have been waived after the preseason. He was clearly beaten out by other guys but somehow he ended up starting the season on the opening night roster.

Grossmann was a PTO signing after training camp. Oesterle was signed July 2 in the thick of free agency.

Other than being 7/8th defensemen, I'm not sure the situations are comparable.

If we end up losing him and need a replacement, no one starts blasting more efficiently....

Is Bear healthy yet? not that he will start blasting, but he could be a decent mid-season pickup for a lot of teams.

Oh, Oesterle, we hardly knew ye.

(though we've seen enough)

Everytime I see/hear his name I randomly think of a 70s/80s movie - The Osterman Weekend.
