Watch this go real sour, real fast when the Flames pick up Phaneuf & Burrows.

Kidding.

Losing Backs would be a unfortunate, especially if it's over a contact delta...

If he wants 6.5 and term and the Flames are only good up to 5.5/.75 then that's a disappointment.

He's an excellent 2C and massive defensive upside.

How about:

Bscklund(extension)+Gillies+Andersson for Hoffman+Brassard??

I wonder how much value Brassard has.

If a trade happens between Cgy/Ott for Hoffman I think it would probably include Brodie. I don't think the Flames do that trade until the offseason.

I was on board with Mike Hoffman after the Josi race highlight.
Pretty good endorsement by Sens fans courtesy of Reddit.

Pageau would be an awesome addition to the third line. Speed, skill, and a right hand shot to boot.

Hoffman's shot is exactly what the Flames are missing. Especially on the PP. His contract is nice (2 more years at $5.1875).

What do the Flames have to add to Gilles + Stone to get Hoffman + Oduya?

I agree that Pageau would be great. He definitely passes the eye test, but I also like him because he is used to playing in 3M-line-difficult situations, does fairly well (shot metric wise) relative to the situations he plays in and is young.

At least Kylington. But maybe more.

If it was prospects would Dube, Rights to Fox, and Gillies get is done? It’s going to take some solid prospects to pry Hoffman out of there. I don’t think this is over payment due to Rittich and Paraon making things bleak for Gillies, Fox may not even sign with the Flames and Dube who is likely going to be a stud. If D are involved, under contract, the only guy I see the Flames considering expendable is Wotherspoon or Kylington.

My thoughts anyway.. over payment at the deadline is usually necessary. Remember the flames have to compete against other teams offers as well.

Just looking at numbers it looks like Wotherspoon has picked it up some. However, he's fallen behind on the depth chart and I wouldn't be surprised if Treliving is planning on cutting him loose. If that's the case he should be moved now. He can probably help a team with limited defensive prospects. Heck, he might be the top prospect on D in Edmonton if he ever would up there.

From John Shannon

"The Ottawa Senators (@Senators) announced today that they have signed the team's general manager Pierre Dorion to a three-year contract extension through the 2021-22 season...
Dorion now has security.

May change how he approaches deals with a longer term vision.

Thats a massive shake up to the power structure of the team.

Did Dorion make a "power play" of his own here?

No to any deal involving Oduya. He's Bartkowski-level, at best

Why do you want Oduya? Oduya completely sucks ass now. He's garbage.

Oduya is Odoneya. He's finished. Done like dinner.

I think it is more likely Bergevin is watching for the impending Rangers sell off, but you never know.
