  1. Calgary sucks, And to think this team is "loaded for a run". Only year to do it as money gets real tight with some huge decisions to make this off-season. The way i see it, They have 21m is wasted cap. Monahan, backlund, Lucic, zadorov. When they go up against the big dogs in the playoffs, This poor allocation of money will prove to be the lames downfall. Must re-sign : -Puke -Johnny -mangiapane The problem? They will have 33m in 7 forwards already.. 14/15m if they are lucky will nab them 2 of those guys. So 47m in your top nine forwards. Also only have three dmen signed for next year at 14m. These guys are all good value though, I will admit. Include goalies 6.75m, They only have 14m left to get an entire 4th lines, a number 4/5/6 D and a couple depth guys. No matter how you slice this pie, The flames will overpay for guys who don't show up come playoff time, Lose 1 " star" player atleast, Have very little in terms of youth in the pipeline, And everyone gets a year older. They are already a few pieces behind the Avs / Knights / Bolts / Panthers / Canes ect, I don't seem them keeping pace with any of these guys. We all know they will resort to attempting to injure however...
  2. Thanks Cowgary! Miller = -Blue chip prospect -3rd line / #4/5 guy -1st -random toss in pick or player Starting point, Now it can be a bidding war. Imagine we say eff it and retain 50% for another 1st ect
  3. People have said straight up for garland or boes hahaha! The same people who would pay to get rid of dickinson / pears.... Zacha is literally a hybrid between those two players. Nothing special at this point. Watching a highlight reel is a bad way to judge a player. What does he bring to a terrible devils team? We don't improve our team trading top 6 for middle 6 guys
  4. Lmao brad. " I'm a good hockey players now so i shouldn't have repercussions to my actions " Someone sign chris simon to a 1 year league min for round 2?
  5. Trade miller and retain 50% for the super haul. We wont be a cup contender this year nor next. If it bring multiple blue chips here, I'd be all over it. Seriously though i don't get people who think our 2-3m guys have no value. Remember all the cities that players would never go if they had a choice like edmonton / WPG? They will gladly take the likes of poolman / dickinson / pears ect if we need to move space
  6. 1$ hotdogs, 2$ beer nights at rogers would be amazing for the atmosphere. Those deals at the abby heat games back in the day made for an amazing night... Followed by a roughhh morning Personally i would go black/white skate full time. Our current colours are way to passive imo
  7. I'm a fan of my team as well, But look at these players you are trying to say make such a big difference. That's 12.5m in filler that doesn't push you over the top. Myers being the most valuable to us of course, But really only earns maybe 4.5 of that 6m a year If you dig deeper, We waste about half of the cap in players that don't bring enough to the team. Lucky for us we have all the cornerstones in place. 1G , 1D, 1 and 2 C (ep / horvat) Not to mention it's looking like demko might honestly become one of if not the best goalie in the league? The guy is bonkers considering what we have to ice infront of him compared to his peers on other top teams. We need to build it right, They have yet to hit their prime years, Even JR has mentioned how its not our time yet. So get ready for change. I think we should have no problem remaining a decent team while retooling to become a cup team
  8. Gave up 50 shots edmonton, And had 2 shots half way through the game vs calgary. This is mid season, Not acceptable by any means. Half the team needs to go in reality. Maybe JR can see if boston still wants OEL, They have some cap space coming up
  9. It would have to be a big overpayment. We pretty much gave up a 1st and a 2nd for the deal including him in the first place. Would be a waste to trade him for less. I'd wait till he has a career year and sell high if anything.
  10. Our core is too young, We only have 1 star player in their prime years. Miller. Compare to any other top team. We are miles behind. I do agree bruce has been amazing and it proves we are not total dog like soo many think. But we are also not winning a cup with the current build. It's not worth it to kill any chance of a loaded run by trading the few prospects we have / picks to add to a cap strapped group. The positives i take away are even though we are wasting literally half the cap in bad contracts, We play pretty damn good. So if we could just do this quick little re-tool to fix these problems, We should have no problem staying on this level while we add young pieces that will push us over the top once ep / huggy / demko are truly in prime years
  11. You are no better then the freedumb fighters with comments like this man. They are on one side of the spectrum saying they are losing their rights and freedumbs, And you are on the other saying they shouldn't have the rights to public services such as healthcare.
  12. Go back and answer some questions yourself. Whats with answering questions with more questions? I think i'm getting away from this cesspool of a topic, People are just hear to vent their own life frustration on other people i swear lol. Back to hockey i go..
  13. I get alot of people come here to troll, And all you responding right now always defend the correct side. I'm literally only saying, Until the fully vax stop spreading covid all together, I don't agree with the finger pointing that is because people are unvaxxed, We are in this pandemic. It would still be here even if 100%, Just a lesser extent. To me that's not enough to slander unvaxxed people at this point. Unless they are a vocal freedumb fighter about it
  14. Damn, I love this style in your hockey talk, But common lol
  15. However you want to look at it, The vaxxed play a big part in that as well
  16. That's what it looks like to me as well. I don't think all unvaxxed should be labeled the same and with such hatred. These freedumb fighters are the real problem. The only thing restricted to an unvaxxed is movement out of the country. The parade literally drove across canada to gets to it meetup spot. People freely drove down there, Freely waved flags and yelled on public grounds, Have police setting up safe areas for them to park and gather. Other countries don't want unvaxxed to enter either. What a waste of time I see why the rich guys are playing with space ships. I'd get off earth asap also lmao
  17. Believe me, i am on the correct side of the fence in regards to everything, I haven't collected a dollar of cerb and worked the entire pandemic, I've done my part. But as long as we regardless of vax or not, can still get and spread it. I don't think its justified to strictly point the finger at those 10%. That crazies protest looks like a cfl cup parade, Sure as hell not 10% of our population out there. Not too many of that 10% are crazy. Plus i'd imagine just based off the couple people i know who can't get the vaxx, That would add alot into the unvaxxed number, No?
  18. If canada got to 100% vax, Would he still see cases of covid, Including people being sent into the hospital or worse?
  19. Why are people so scared to trade talent, for more talent... It's not like your giving your best player away for nothing. We are a 7/8 team in the west at best, We may luck our way a couple rounds, But chances are an early exit. I'm a HUGE fan, But watch these top teams play games not vs the canuck so you have no bias. We will need to add soo much to this current build, It's not worth the cost of all draft picks. We need a Re-tool. Trading near expiring near UFA guys for valuable younger pieces, That will support our actual core guys when they are in their primes. I don't see a point treading water just to make the playoffs. We need to pull a rangers, Go all in on a quick retool. Get young players over just picks and we could remain somewhat competitive like we are now, But have all that young skilled depth when we are going for those cup runs. Regardless what some people want, We hired rutherford, and loaded a front office with all new faces. Change will happen, Being less emotionally attached, And being run as a hockey club with the goal of winning a cup will be the new priority
  20. I really don't care either way, Non of the mandates bother me other than small business restrictions. This will be the fun part of the pandemic as governments start to go back to normal, And the fearful bunch get all up in arms over it. The worlds really gone to s*^#, From all these natural disasters, To the intense weather in each season, Pandemic causing everyone to hate eachother. I'm obviously vaxxed, I promote to everyone who isn't to get it, I think the unvaxxed people are making a horrible choice, But i see us vaxxed are getting and spreading it just as much as a unvaxxed would. Why all the finger pointing like they are the cause to this whole pandemic when it's 90-10 and we are even worse off? The freedoms crap is too funny, The lack of braincells needed to not realize the whole main reason for the mandates ( other than to keep people safe ) is to keep our health care system from crashing. Seeing how its been near capacity levels alot this pandemic, That should have been an automatic to get a shot that's been proven to help in that regard. But again, I just don't agree with people thinking the unvaxxed are worthless humans, Cause to this whole pandemic ect like what has been said. Well the ones who protest their rights and freedoms are trash but thats about it. Not all the 10% do that however
  21. Looks like vaccine status is giving religion a run for it's money in terms of causes to most world problems, Nobody can just get along and advance together
  22. Trade miller 50% retained to a cup favorite for a massive haul, Let him win 2 cups. And resigns when UFA at a discount to lead us to ours Win win
  23. Believe me, I was going to add that.. And just about the rest of the entire roster. #2 ugliest roster build just behind the habs. Both teams make me hurl just looking at cap friendly when comparing their play lol
