gmen81 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 So I hear he has a full NMC. It just keeps getting better and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apples Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Great signing by the Flames. Their going to be legit cup contenders next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV. Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Homerism. Wideman isn't a bad signing. The price is obviously high but it's to be expected when there's virtually no good d-men(besides Suter and Garrison, if you will) I can guarantee if MG pulled this off, everybody would be praising him and saying what a good job he did to address the defence issue. The worst thing that comes out of this is that Flames don't get better and they're stuck with Wideman on the payroll for another 5 years at that price. Other than that, they get a solid top-4 guy that helps the PP and takes some pressure off Giordano and Bouwmeester(if he doesn't get traded) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFCanuck Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Wideman given a full No-Movement clause. What a joke, Feaster=Sutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Must have brain washed Wideman. What the hell does CGY have to offer? A management team denying the inevitable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmen81 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Trust me I am a rational Canucks fan. Wideman is a good player, I'm not doubting that, but these are the types of moves Calgary does not need to be making. Also if Wideman was a Flame last year, does he finish with 46 points? I doubt it.

oldnews Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 12 million tied up in Bouwmeester and Wideman 10.2 for Chara and Seidenberg 11.3 for Keith and Seabrook 9.1 for Hamhuis and Bieksa 12.3 including Edler 10.5 for Doughty and Mitchell 9.8 million tied up in Cammalleri and Cervenka The Flames have less cap space than Vancouver Canucks have Schneider, Salo and Raymond to sign and will still have 8 million ballpark to work wit - add 5.3 if they trade Luongo. Flames have 9 free agents - 6 UFAs and 3 RFAs - a whole hell of a lot of gaps to fill and not a hell of a lot of young prospects ready to step up. The Flames continue to chase after high priced assets, while failing to build any depth or balance in their lineup. Song remains the same. If I were a Flames fan, I'd (still) be shaking my head that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonfruits Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 its a bad move regardless how many points he got in the east look what calgary did to bouwmeester went from getting a ton of points and goals to being crap both offensively and defensively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Crazy Crazy money.... Why spend huge dollars on journeymen? Why not go get the BEST player available and shell out $8 million? Eg. Weber+Rome is better than Wideman+Ballard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
