You’re right it really isn’t a big deal long term


It’s just bizarre that a guy clears waivers twice on a contract and then the team rolls it forward at the same number

People want us to suck next year to get a top 10 pick.

People think Rooney sucks.

People are mad we signed Rooney for next year.

Strange place to over spend it.

Well, I certainly have space in my heart for a guy that appreciates the city and the franchise. Too much of the opposite attitude lately.

The Flames need a player like this so they can make a big splash at next year's TDL.

Welp. This type of thread is when this place is at its best. I love the range of reactions. Still laughing. Solid gif game in here to boot.

4th line looked terrible until he came back
It's amazing how much harder guys that want to be here play

He's been a decent bottom 6 since coming back this season. I assume he is a character guy with good habits that you want around young players.

I think is good. The 4th line has been way better with him, and he kills penalties.


Nice to see a player who's genuinely happy to be in Calgary.

Conroy's latest press conference has a lot of nice things to say about Rooney near the end. He worked really hard over the summer on fitness, had a freak accident diving over Markstrom. Bonded with Pelletier getting surgery 1 day after each other. etc.

I'm OK with it, Huska-Rooney is a massive improvement over Sutter-Rooney.
