22sedins33 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Damn! I was hoping we could offer sheet him away from the Flames this off season... ...said no one ever. He was an experiment that didn't really pay off. That's okay though. Props to the Flames for giving it a try. Also, screw the Flames. I'm glad it didn't work out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watermelons Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Props for giving the NHL a try. I'm sure that he chose Calgary to get extra ice time while he was in the NHL..if things worked out I think he would have moved to a contending team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Where's the King of the ES these days? Cervenka, along with Wideman and Hudler, was supposed to be one of the guys to propel the Flames into contention for the Northwest title last year lol. The Flames and Minnesota were poised to leapfrog the Canucks. And the RedWings were dead in the water, their window, like Vancouver's, crashing closed... But seriously, I thought Cervenka did alright - maybe not worth nearly a 4 million cap hit, but not bad. He scored 17 points and had alright underlying numbers - and Feaster didn't have a great deal of choice; he needed more depth up the middle and took a risk without losing assets.

elvis15 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 He's conspicuous in his absence, although not entirely by his choice. We could ask Garrison to give him a call and see how he's doing maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterlingArcher Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 He spent a ton of time on the bench, waiting at the blue line for passes, very weak back check and scared to go in the tough areas. Skill is there, but he's just not suited for the NHL game. The best players outside of the NHL usually don't cut it in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccc44 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Im guessing maybe some culture shock and maybe never adjusted to north american living , He did not play that bad and im sure could have another contract in the NHL if he wanted but obviously was not interested in that with how quick he decided to sign a KHL deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marleau_12 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Tell that to Dan Hamhuis. And to our free agents that took discounts to stay here. Remind me who the last big name UFA was that signed with Calgary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Certainly a more uselessful than x number of players on this team. Unfortunately the Flames suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALGARY! Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 And I remember Iginla taking a discount in his prime to stay in Calgary when he could have gotten 7.5-8.5 elsewhere, so some Calgary players have taken discounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoner. Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 not sure if younwere being serious when you mentioned Hamhuis, yeah he's decent, but I was talking big name UFAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALGARY! Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Not saying he panned out but JBo was the most sought after Dman the summer Calgary signed him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
