Fake news

Has Burke chimed in on the trade?

"As for Ferland being in that trade, one year away from UFA would have been a factor. I love his story and how he turned his life around during his time with the club, but inconsistent play was always a talking point. e.g. 19 g in his first 42 games last year, 2 g in the last 35."

Lindholm: 14 goals in his first 45 games, 2 goals in his last 36 games.

Not sure how it looks bad for Ferland but not a problem for Lindholm.

The spin.

And still happily neglecting the fact Lindholm is a consistent 40 point guy.

Ferland scored 20 goals once, and that was last year.

We got a RHS which was a core requirement, we got 2 years younger and have more cost controlled years to work with. We also got a far more versatile well rounded player.

All of which is a net gain for the Flames.

You really shouldn't get as upset as you do at perceived personal attacks when you're more than willing to toss stuff like this out. Just something to think about, as you're hyper aware of how everyone else posts out of line but you fail to see it in yourself.

I just caught the end of Noah Hanifin’s interview on NHL radio. He is over the moon. Nice to hear the guy so happy to be coming to Calgary.

Treliving putting it diplomatically, but translation is Fox was not signing here.

This NCAA prospects issue is absurd. I really, really, hate how a team can put in all the work to draft a promising player in the later rounds only to have said player dictate signing terms after their potential starts showing. It’s absurd with how important building through the draft that this is still a thing. So sick of hearing about situations like Fox.

I bet we'll get a juicy quote out of him this week at some point.

I don't just troll the board crapping on everything the Flames do. If I have a differing opinion that is fine but I am not on here crapping on every player and move the Flames make like that guy. He is a pure troll. I asked him a question as to why he was here and his response was F u. Tells you everything.

-Serious upgrade to top 6
-Is our defence worse today? No.
-Fox not wanting to sign makes him a throw in.

Flames win this trade, and I'm happy with the shake up.

Everyone pointing out the flaws in Hamilton and Ferland like Hanifin and Lindholm are perfect players.

Players are not automatically better because they don't play for the Flames

The Flames still need one more good top 6 forward, preferably a right handed #2c.

This is the place where passionate Flames fans come to discuss and vent. Where else are they going to go? Why don't you ignore people that set you off or rain on your sunshine?

We better find a way to replace that goal in the lineup.

He is not a passionate Flames fan, he is a troll. Go look at his prior posts. It gets tiring watching this guy come into every thread and say X player sucks or bashing any move the team makes.

They literally put in zero effort into NCAA prospects.

They can't pay flights and hotels to camps, they can't provide any inking services

If they did the player would lose his eligibility. The teams put nothing into their NCAA prospects until they sign.
