A 2nd rounder sounds great, but pick 58 does not.

Sure, until you realize that arguably the best team in the league was crafted with exactly those kinds of pics. I have a lot of faith in the flames scouting team to find gems. That’s based on the results the last few years. So while I don’t disagree with the strategy today, I really would like to see a stock up on as many pics as possible Fourth fifth six rounders who cares more pics, please!

And here I’m talking about Sharky roon dog Miro guys like that

Staggering percentage in B).

I would like a shinny new toy but think Conroy is doing things the right way. Not willing to include Zary in a Cousins deal is telling and makes me happy.

If I'm Colorado I'd rather finish in the first wild card and get to play in the pacific bracket

We are also seeing teams behind us load up too.

SJ - trades a player for a 1st that they got a 2nd for just to take his contract. They pick up an injury prone goalie and turn him into a 2nd. They also added Askarov this year and picks for guys like Kunin. Oh yeah, they added Celebrinni and W Smith too

Seattle - picks up Kakko for not a lot, Wright is starting to break out and they make trades for 2 1sts and a 2nd for Bjorkstrand, Gourde and Tanev yet you look at their top 9 forwards and it looks as good as it was before the deadline. Also got a pick for Soucy.

Anaheim - hasn't done much but they seem to be climbing the standings of late and look very good here soon.

Thats 3 Pacific teams all loading up as well.

It's trending that way.

That is why this format has got to go.

That should be a WCF not a 1st round series.

Maybe Edmonton will win the pacific and get Colorado then

Just can't see Minnesota winning more than them down the stretch. But let's hope so.

Colorado - Vegas is trending to be round 1 is it not?

2/3 have #1 centers as well. We will see about Wright but he could be trending that way.

Total blue balls. I’m more choice B myself. I just want to see people lose their minds. More entertaining than the Flames mostly.

Colorado and Minnesota both have 76 pts. Minnesota a game in hand.

[Monahammer]

The vision is to become a ~14th place team using rag-tag hard nosed players, hopefully sneak into the playoffs 1/2 years, and then luck into winning 1 or 2 rounds.

That's literally what this club is building for.

Rantanen was still UFA...I can assure you if the Flames had a UFA of that caliber he would have been traded

Maybe as the Avs catch the Wild, the Stars catch up to the Jets. There is only a 6 point gap and the Stars have a game in hand.

But that would suck for the Flames as we sit in WC2...... I would rather play the Jets than the Stars.

Hopefully this just sends the west contenders into a spiral and they go bonkers with offers in the final hour. Maybe get a nuclear gif from Sec or something lol

Rantanen was a UFA for a few seconds lol that’s pretty pedantic man. No comment on Walman or Laughton?

This is stupid...they are already that with a rookie starter, extra pick including firsts, top 3 drafted prospect, near top of the league cap space.

Flames are getting smoked either way. Easy to accept that, but hardest path for the Oilers is imperative, especially after the easy ride they got last year.
