Sounds like a really good pick. Let’s enjoy the fact that we have one of the most potent scorers in the entire draft and leave the whole “loophole” thing to another day.

If Flames management didn't do their homework on this, then everything is worse than we thought and nothing really matters.

I remember when Sutter was GM he was always trying to trade for players who lived out west.

The usual bunch were all prepped and ready to bitch about Treliving "wasting" a pick on a goalie, but when we pick an elite goal scorer at a positional need they have to scramble for the next noose to jump to.

There is zero reason to be concerned about this player signing. You’ve got to trust the interview process and the team’s been burned before, surely it’d be vetted.
Let’s just be happy the organization went out and drafted for skill, a right handed winger who will be lethal on the PP. This was a huge organizational need.

Oh yeah let’s just pretend that there’s not a significant chance that he’ll never even wear the jersey. Hey let’s just give it a rest with the guy who just won the Norris too right?
I don’t think I’m smarter than a hockey ops staff but this was a huge risk and an unnecessary one IMO
The goalie carried less inherent risk FFS
Can someone post the video of him being disappointed by being drafted by us so I can calm down.

Sorry. The Bison is a future Hall of Famer and certain to score 600 goals and 1300 points!

His name sounds like a cigarette brand.

Well at least with being a 1st rounder the Flames can still get at the bare minimum a compensatory 45th OA pick in 2026 in return for him.
But that is still a long way to worry about it.
Focus on the upside for now.

The other 50+ what? Blue-chip forward prospects that the Flames buried in the minors?
I'm dying to see this list.

I mean, didn't we trade Fox before he even used the loophole on us?
And we didn't make a mistake choosing Fox.
Let's let this play out.

The Flames brass would've also spoken with him and got a sense of his outlook and apetite to potentially play there.
You think Adam Fox happens and they don't learn before drafting another Harvard college student?
I think Brad will alleviate the concern when he speaks about it.
Brad may be infuriating for some here, but he is all about due diligence and wouldn't piss away a 13th(12th) pick on purpose.
