Not to be confused with the Rwarrener genocide, which I'm pretty sure is the injury that kept him out of 2008-09.

Nope I was simply asking him if he would confirm.

Wonder what it would cost to get Howard?

Howard for 2020 3rd + Mid-tier prospect (Foo) + Smith

I can't watch any videos at the moment, so just to be clear, the current news is that the Flames are looking to get Howard, but it's contingent on whether or not we get Stone?

Yes it seems like that’s the plan I am sure they can’t afford both.

Saravelli's article is exclusively about goaltenders. There have been rumblings on TSN about the Flames making inquiries about Stone, but I haven't seen anything published beyond these vague speculations.

Howard and Stone would help us this playoff run. Still not sure how we would keep Stone though.
Interesting that Howard would be contingent on Stone.

You're sure? How is it you are certain of this?

Makes some sense to me.

Flames might have addressed goaltending as the biggest need, and have a plan to address that. They likely have a certain set of assets they are willing to part with.

The caveat to that might be Stone. If they can get Stone, it will likely cost all the assets they have allocatted for Howard, and then some.

Might be waiting to pull the trigger on a goalie deal until the Stone situation is resolved.

They likely don't have the ammo to get both done. Or at least aren't willing to part with that much.

I am just going by what I heard on TSN when Dreger talked about it. By the sounds of it they definitely can’t afford both. So a contingency plan is the only way ,they want one of them though thats for sure. As a reminder to u all this is a rumoured topic so take it like a grain of salt. This might not happen at all.

It's Darren Dreger. I would say that substantially devalues the quality and accuracy of the information.
