HI5 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Seems like a good trade for Flames..Lack as a steady backup with Carolina retaining half his salary and only a 1 year risk. Murphy and Kanzig are pretty much bust status right now and will likely play in the minors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_314 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Going by the names alone I would've thought the Flames had a steal of a deal (and maybe they still do as they do end up with the NHL players), but Ron Francis is a savvy GM and given the context I think the Canes have the potential to win this trade due to addition by subtraction. First, they shed Eddie Lack. With Scott Darling signed to become the #1 and Cam Ward on the books for only slightly more it doesn't make sense to carry 3 pricey goalies, and seeing how the Flames have been in the market for a backup Eddie going there could be a solution. Ward can also settle comfortably into the backup role. Next, they also give up Ryan Murphy, who struggled last season (2 points, -11 in 27 games), and seeing how they already acquired T.v.R. from the Knights and have several emerging young D to sign after this season (Slavin, Hanifin, Pesce, T.v.R., Dahlbeck are all R.F.A.'s in the same year) it didn't make sense to take cap space and playing time away from them. To give up a guy who's likely now a project in Murphy, albeit a guy with draft pedigree, to shed Eddie's cap (and give Haydn Fleury a chance to make the team) should be seen as a win for Ronnie too, and Treliving better hope his two acquisitions don't flame out as they're arguably overpaid.

Flames will still be a mediocre bubble team. They turned things around pretty quick and havent had much success. They weren't at the bottom forever like Edmonton or Chicago or Pittsburgh before they started turning it around. I think that we are in better shape than the flames to be honest. Not now but for the future. JB and co have really turned around our prospect cupboard. please enlighten me how we are in better shape than the flames? at the very least they have 1 top line elite skill in Gaudreau and a decent top line center in monahan.. and we have 0 proven elite skill player.. we have a very good player in Horvat and a few other good players that's about it.. so does the flames.. we can talk about potential all day.. and at the end of the day it means nothing until they make it to the big dance.. look at how many top prospect in the league oozing with potential doesn't even make the league at the end of the day?

Those mayors should be forced to lick a square metre of alleyway in the Downtown Eastside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've either worked or gone on holidays in every province except Newfoundland and Canada is pretty amazing across the board. Its only when our stupid politics get in the way the really nasty stuff happens. Calgary is a nice city, I just enjoy sticking it to guys like @ryanstrome What worries me now tho is with the Green-DP getting in we're in for another 2 years of pipeline politics and whatever side of the debate you're on someones going to end up very bitter.

Wild life is there for sure..what they lack is the mountains and ocean. It's very flat and you definitely notice it when coming from Vancouver to visit. Overall though it's not a bad city, locals seem much more friendly in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lakes are everywhere, matter of fact I've got a huge one right behind my house. Point being Calgary is a nice city and even though I identify myself as a British Columbian, I don't think I'd ever be able to move back.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
