Maybe he's confused it for a job interview in the oil industry?

Has Enstrom's game really fallen off that much? I thought he was still a decent middle-pairing d-man. Or does he not want to wander around the NHL looking for work at this stage of his life?

He’s really fallen off, mainly due to injuries. He might be a serviceable 6 or 7 however teams would probably take a younger guy for that role, or someone who’s not injured all the time

I'd be surprised if the Flames send out many PTOs. The roster seems full as it is.

Probably stupid idea: since the Flames need a long term starter and the Predators want to win now, the Flames trade Giordano to the Preds for Saros, Fabbro and a 2019 2nd. Okay, I’ll show myself out before ppl throw tomatoes at my head.

I bet they bring a few in on PTOs but I doubt they sign any. They’ll want some veterans around while the big guns are in China. PTOs are a way for free agents to showcase themselves too. And the Flames have games at home while the China trip is on. I could see them bringing in a guy like Dennis Seidenberg who their new assistant coach would be familiar with from Germany.

There is a reason he doesn't have a contract. Butter soft and cant handle any pressure.

Not really player related, but the Coyotes have parted ways with their director of Amateur of Scouting Tim Bernhardt. He was there while Treliving was there and worked together for a few years. Wonder if Maloney and Treliving bring him in the fold, especially considering he wants a reduced work load.

In the meantime, if there’s a team looking for a regional scout who has years of experience and has unearthed some outstanding middle-round gems, getting Bernhardt would be a coup. An undersized goalie who is in the Quebec League Hall of Fame and defied the odds by having a 12-year pro career that included 67 NHL games, Bernhardt has always been one of the game’s hardest-working scouts, from his start with the league’s Central Scouting Bureau in 1990 and through his tenures with the Dallas Stars and Coyotes. (Bernhardt has done some particularly good work in the fifth round of the draft, with the crown jewel of his career being the selection of Jamie Benn in 2007. Marty Turco in 1994, Mike Smith in 2001 and John Klingberg in 2010 were also fifth-round picks.)
And he had done a good job stockpiling young talent for the Coyotes, collecting assets that should make them a playoff contender in the next couple of seasons. In THN’s 2018 Future Watch edition, the Coyotes ranked third league-wide on the strength of their prospects and under-21 NHL talent. But sometimes that’s not enough. The Coyotes haven’t made the playoffs in six years and sometimes there’s a need for a new approach. To that end, Chayka brought Hofford in to assist him after the latter’s contract was not renewed by the Toronto Maple Leafs and with a background in identifying young talent, Hofford was bound to put his stamp on the scouting department. And both Hofford and Bernhardt, who had already worked the World Junior Summer Showcase and the Hlinka-Gretzky Cup for the Coyotes, came to see that it wasn’t going to be a good fit.
“In recent years the Coyotes have acquired a good group of young players that it looking poised to take the next step,” Bernhardt told TheHockeyNews.com. “When a new assistant GM comes in, he is allowed to change the scouting template, the philosophies, the methods. You either believe in them or you don’t. For me, it was time to move on.”
This might be looked at as an eye-test vs. analytics clash, given Chayka’s expertise in the former, but really it was more a matter of philosophy. As the new assistant GM, Hofford has every right to make the changes he sees fit and, with the confidence of the GM behind him, make whatever changes he feels are necessary. And Bernhardt, who has years of scouting experience and a solid reputation behind him, had the right to dissent.

Stone is gong to come in handy once we run into eventual injuries.

I have no idea why anyone would want their team to be modelled after the all-world drafting prowess of the mighty Arizona Coyotes. One of the only organizations in history better than the Oilers at whiffing on draft picks.

Taking a while to get to 5000

This just in, Vancouver is not a match.
Vegas or Dallas are my guess. Really wanted to see him go to Tampa for all the roster chaos it would cause there.

I have this weird gut feeling that Treliving is getting more seriously involved in Karlsson trade talks.

I won’t mind if Vancouver gets him, because the return they will give will be hilarious.

I dont think so... I cant see him building up a team like he has this summer only to start poking holes and shipping out pieces to fit him in, for 1 season. With Tkchuck's renewal next year you wouldn't be able to fit him into the roster without shedding serious personnel. Just dosent seem like what he's trying to do.
I betcha he is heading to Vegas. They have young pieces and picks to make a rebuilding Ottawa happy, cap space, holes in their roster, and a fledgling Fan Base to excite. Its kinda a perfect match, as long as they feel they can renew him.
