Coconuts Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Man, the Flames have been playing decent lately I'm really surprised they'd decide to go full tank. Good luck Bart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Happy for Bart. Hope he gets his career back on track. You also have to remember that Bartkowski and Hamilton had some success playing together in Boston. This is a low risk signing that could pay huge dividends.

Beary Sweet Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 lol if you sign Bart, you're going to have a long season. though if he doesn't become a defensive liability, then it could prove to be worthy signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putgolzin Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Remember when we were being told that signing Bartkowski was a real positive step in building the team? And then look at our D now. If Benning can do for our forwards what he's done for our D, we're going to be in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just struggle to see the 2 year deal as it is with their prospect depth and knowing how hard he was lambasted here just how loud the cries will be if him and hamilton find that chemistry again.. It's not just a lol because he signed there, it's more a combination of lols, a lol trio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocksterh8 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 He's only signed for the expansion draft, nothing here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pic will be huge for our team for a long time. Glad Bart is gone now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That allows Treleving the flexibility to let his other depth dman go in the offseason if he chooses rather than having to sign one of them to get them under contract for 17/18 just to be able to expose them and meet the gp requirement. If they don't get selected he is then stuck with them. Plus Bart is not exactly old and has some skill. No matter what he does it doesn't do as a Flame, this is shrewd GM'ing ahead of the expansion draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be happy to see him in the lineup against the Canucks -- another smallish guy our fourth-liners can get in on and rough up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would then have Wideman, Engellland and Jokipakka and they are all UFA (Engellend and Wideman) or RFA (Jokipakka). Gotta agree with you that it is a good move by the GM.

DJSkingz Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Some excellent points and observations above. I came in here for the luls but now realise this move is multi-faceted. Well played Flames. Well played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This way they don't have to commit to any of those guys or get handcuffed if Engelland or Wideman get crazy on what they want to re-sign. Great move by them.
