Very interesting that Arizona is apparently very interested in Hall. They definitely have the assets to make it work and he'd be exactly what they need.

But again, that's a division rival. Treliving should be doing everything he can to keep him away from the Coyotes.

Sure:

For example, this thread where he says the flames laughed off offers.

https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/...ng-low/sn-amp/

https://www.sportsnet.ca/960/boomer-...-gm-next-year/

It feels to me like we've never had this much info about the flames to chew on.

If your bar for freakin' leaks is having Friedman PRINT THE NAME OF HIS SOURCE this is going to be a real uphill battle.

Hall to Colorado makes the most sense, they have the cap room, they have the assets, and they have a team that could make a run for the cup.

Nowhere does it say it’s from the Flames. Nowhere.
But of course that doesn’t jive with your massive anti-Flames point of view.
Friedman talks to every GM, could it be those making the offers told him?
Just maybe...

Any deal currently including Sam Bennett is likely sunk cost. Best option is to hold on to him and pray for a come-around.



Bennett has shown at times that he has those elite tendencies... it's just a matter of finding any consistency to his game. Sadly, it doesn't exist currently.

I think the point is that this info could have come from the other teams, maybe Bennett's agent, etc. Or maybe even the first part (that teams have inquired) and when he went to the Flames for corroboration they said "well, yeah but they were lowballs".

There's other topics where info could only come from the Flames.

Ok, it's every other gm that talks and not treliving.

Does saying I think a guy with good media relationships is good for the organization jive with my massive anti-flames point of view? That, with this most recent Peter's debacle, having a GM with a solid relationship among the leagues most important opinion makers saved us all a lot of grief?

Does that fit into my massive anti flames point of view or does it suggest you are completely intolerant to anything even approaching criticism about the team, iamnotkenking?

Having an article about the Flames trading the face of their franchise amidst a brutal stretch of hockey means they are leaky? That is going to happen in any Canadian market that has had a similar scenario occur. There were trade McDavid articles last year as well.

We hear about the Flames being interested in making trades but I doubt that comes from the Flames organization and can easily be leaked by agents.

I don’t agree they are the leakiest organization in the league.

So if the Oilers traded 2 firsts for Hall, it would be the same as trading Taylor Hall and (2) first round picks for Adam Larsson, then re-signing Taylor Hall as a FA to a one year deal.

Or something to that effect?

The Devils essentially got a bargain bin Taylor Hall, cleaned him up and sold him back to the original owners. Likely to ruin again.
