2022/2023 Trade Speculation and Rumours

[Heavy Jack]

Fingers crossed, really hoping we sell some pieces and reset some more, needs to happen and this draft is deep

[BagoPucks]

I think the prices have peaked and now its going to garbage returns. Flames will get some crap back for the crap they have on their roster and the cycle continues.

Dallas and Carolina, where are you?

We have waited long enough that a lot of the market has already traded their assets for players. We are playing checkers while the rest of the league plays chess.

Sell what you can Treliving then please submit your resignation.

A smart organization that's in the Flames situation 100% trades him for the best return possible. You can either keep the futures based assets that the trade would inevitable get or use those assets to acquire a younger winger (or other position of need) ahead of the draft if you were so inclined but regardless the play has to be to trade him ahead of tomorrow's deadline.

But smart and Calgary Flames simply don't go together.

Wow. You seem pretty confident.

Ottawa and Nashville won tonight. Top 10 is possible top 12 is very realistic

Sell now and we could be in a much better spot maybe even next year

Who would have the cap space to take on the type of players who would bring on 1st round picks.

In any event, ownership would never sign off on trading our best young assets, and no one is taking our overpaid aging players.

Not only that, but trading Toffoli right now is exactly the way to communicate to Coronato that we want him here.

[The Original FFIV]

Everyone saying selling. To who? Most buyers have already bought. Buyers are capped out for the most part.

I think we will buy tomorrow. On the cheap. Management will see us losing by 1 goal against 2 of the best teams in the league. Make some savvy deals from buyers left at the altar. Trade late round picks and middling prospects for scoring help and depth d.

Organization won’t sell. Not in their dna. Scrape their way into the playoffs or die trying to. Lots of warts on this roster but Darryl isn’t here to not make the playoffs. Get the popcorn ready, gonna be interesting.

Yes. Exactly. Now is the best time for the Flames to stockpile late first round picks. If they don't do it right now this organization is surely doomed for the next 20 years.

[Burning Beard]

No matter what happens tomorrow I expect some extreme saltiness in this thread. Get a good sleep everyone your fingers will be getting a workout complaining tomorrow!

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

I think they needed to be decisive earlier like Nashville, but here we are, late to the dance and there's 3 people left on the dance floor

I think the desperate teams already did their business, but we'll see

Maybe Carolina wants to level up

[Sandman]

Now we just need to finish bottom-10, and have Edwards bribe somebody to win the draft lottery.

I hope that’s what was happening this past week with Edwards and Bettman here.

Gary: Murray, I need you to up the financial commitment to the arena and get it done.

Murray: If you give us Bedard, I’ll go ham!

Gary: Beeeeaaaaaaaaaaam!

[Calgary4LIfe]

Bettman will make sure we get Bedard. Will help increase the appetite for a new arena.

If we fall another couple of spots, we have a chance at 1st overall. Like a 3% chance, but a chance.

I was thinking the same thing. "The House That Connor Built, Calgary Edition".
