Kekäläinen coming in hot to push Buffalo into a playoff spot would be somethin'.

Their 2026 1st + Owen Power would be nice adds for the Flames.

Question would be...can Kekäläinen sell Flames veterans on being part of the course correction in Buffalo (who have won 6 straight).

With their no trade clauses, I assume the gif means Red Wings.

I highly doubt either is wanting to go to Buffalo. Dallas might make the most sense though. Is there a Dallas Wing?

I normally would think nothing of it, just they posted it the same hour sec posted his blockbuster gif. I'm bored and stuck waiting for a flight so just over analyzing things having fun.

I want Helenius badly. He is a perfect centre for the Flames

Red Bull gives you wings

DET 2026 1st + Kasper it is then

[Blaster86]

Dollars to donuts, Michkov is available.

[Monahammer]

I dont know if they would let him go, but if we're trading with the wings I hope Simon Edvinsson is a name we are bandying about.

I posted about this yesterday. I would offer Coronato and a small add and see if that is in the wheelhouse.

By the sounds of it they wouldn't make him available for Hughes, so unlikely.

Think the rumor was Martone and Michkov

That was in reply to Edvinsson.

Red wings... Probably trying to use Kasper as a trade chip but I would push for Danielson.

That said, I still like Kasper and think he could thrive elsewhere. Him + 1st for Kadri would still be a good return in my books, but I think we deserve Danielson.

They want to let Tocchet completely tank his value and make him ready to run back to Russia before they deal him.


Rick Tocchet is a hockey terrorist.

Conroy called Rhett44 and is now trading all 3 for a new sports car, some DVDs and a signed Shaq Basketball

Either way I'm not really looking too deep into it. I find it's more fun to speculate on the cryptic gifs lol.

Speaking of speculating about the gifs.... Sec often connects specific people / animals to teams or GMs. The monkey was always something about GMCC.

There has been a few of Shaquille O'Neal lately. Eating wings, laughing, etc. What / who does Shaq represent?

He spent a big chunk of his career in California and Florida.
The last team he played for is Boston.
He currently lives in the Dallas area.

I think this is the key to decrypting the code!

Somehow Zegras is flourishing under him but I do agree with you. For a guy that was an offensive player in his days, he sure likes to suck the offensive creativity out of a roster.

I think this has been confirmed as not true? I think Detroit asked about the cost, got told how many pieces they had to move and balked before even making an offer. Apparently the only actual offers came from Devils/Wild. Devils couldn't clear cap so Quinn went to the Wild.

Tocchet always seems to have one.


Garland in Phoenix
Hughes in Vancouver
now Zegras in Philly.


And then the rest of them become offensively stunted and incapable of using their creative skill set for a long time after he leaves. It took years for the kids in Phoenix to get back to good.

[Hoop27]

Coleman being coveted by Detroit makes a lot of sense.
