Lets see the Canucks laugh on the bench the next time we play them.

You really have to get over yer man crush on Clutterbuck. Cannot see how you think he is worth a first round pick and a goalie that was a former first round pick.

And if cammy was ever traded for Neil I believe feaster would lose his job fast.

Also, why not a kipper trade? 36 years old, has value and can be used to acquire a big name center if needed. If a trade of that magnitude came up I would do it. Guess we will just have to wait and see.

Tootoo? no way no thanks.

Good pickup. All Flames backup goaltenders under the age of 30 have historically been awful. Hopefully MacDonald gives the team some confidence when Kipper isn't playing.

Maybe if Brent Sutter was our GM.

Still sipping the koolaid or do you think our current team is tough as nails?

Ramo better be the real deal or the next few seasons are going to be pretty bleak as it's obvious the Flames have no faith in the goaltenders in their system and nobody knows if Kipper will even play next season.

The only thing i can say that is bad about picking up MacDonald is that Comeau sneaks back into top 9 tonight because they had to put Cammi on IR to get this done.

Also, I think Irving will go on waivers and pass. Then he will be traded.

The reasoning being that no team would trade for him and then risk putting him through waivers. Irivng is a more valuable asset playing in the AHL right now than playing on an NHL roster. He still has some potential, but he isn't ready yet.

dino7c · 02-11-2013, 11:01 AM

who cares where a guy was drafted you put the best possible team on the ice. Obviously the Flames scouts are high on this guy so when he came available for nothing they swooped in. You don't need young goalies in this league you need competent ones

Can you imagine if he is Semyan Varlomov good?

This place will melt.

If Ramo is not the real deal, the flames will try to resign Kipper to an extension.

I don't think there is a chance in hell that the flames are going to trade Kipper this year.

Tootoo? no way no thanks.

so you have no problem with the Canucks and oilers dancing around our net and doing triple sowcows in the neutral zone?

and who cares about our former first round pick goalie. That brings no value at all at this stage in his career.

hmmmm i think a #1 goalie would be more crucial to a team than a #1 centre.

and there is no way in hell the Wild would trade Clutterbuck for a first. You would need more than that to get him.

Canada 02 · 02-11-2013, 11:05 AM

I doubt this has anything to do with Irving. Macdonald will back up Irving; Taylor returns to Abby where he belongs. When Kipper is healthy, Macdonald will be waived; Detroit likely picks him up for assignment to Grand Rapids

Flames new modo "Older is better". Another decision with no thought, great job Flames!

Cammalleri is not sitting for a backup goalie. They aren't going to dress 3 goalies. He is sitting because he is hurt. The only way this could affect him is if he were on the IR and they didn't have room to put him back on the roster. He is not on the IR.

most ridiculous post of the week. hahaha. how are they even comparable.

It's like saying "OH NO what if we waived Comeau and he becomes the next Iginla."

How do you know he's not the real deal? He's the best goaltender in the second best league in the world.

lol

dammage79 · 02-11-2013, 11:08 AM

Yeah you know what? The more I think about it, I am leaning towards a Kipper trade. You don't just go and start a kid the day you announce through a waiver pick up you have no faith in your YOUNG goalie. Especially if you think Kipper is going to play every single game the rest of the season. You certainly do not need a veteran gate opener for Kipper for the rest of the season. And Irving has been just fine. He is what? 1-1 so far this season?

There has to be something bigger happening right now.

Cammi was put on IR just before the move for Maconald.

Our team is soft as puppy #### on an Arizona summer day. That being said, with the possible exception of the Butler trade the Flames lose every one of those trades by a wide margin. I just threw up some other trades that had similar value for the Flames.

Not sure what Brent Sutter even has to do with this.
