TOMapleLaughs Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 If you think Gio is a one hit wonder youve been living under a rockIt's not like he's been Bobby Orr hiding under a rock all these years. He definitely could be a one hit wonder, and I think his contract demands are insane. Though I hope Calgary fails hard because it's my job.

His last 6 seasons have all been very good - hence the moniker one-hit wonder doesn't really apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all his fault, and he's still good, but not that good. But you're right. I guess 'one hit wonder' doesn't apply at all if his past season was just as good as the one before. But however you didn't hear Norris hype around the one before. He'd do himself a favour by playing some complete seasons again though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Avs getting some revenge for o'reilly Yeah, or Kevin Lowe (via Chia) again lol. That would be epic - and it would make perfect sense to tighten the cap on their provincial rival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonMexico Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Can't wait for someone to offersheet Hamilton. Burkey will be itching for another barn fight lol. Man I would love that to happen. Was just talking to a co-worker about that happening. The return would be possibly less than what they traded away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd have no choice but to match. The point would be to hurt them on the bottom cap line - and possibly force them into a risky length of term. Edmonton or Colorado really should use this mechanism in this instance. The former for the sake of rivalry and competitive edge, the latter for revenge - and because either of them could really use the player if (but not gonna happen) successful.

Chiarelli was also reported in on the bidding and had a better offer the table when Bruins decided to not deal with the former GM, It’s got to hurt to want a guy only to have your rivals swoop in a steal him. Now is the time he can get some revenge, and make the flames pay…. Literally It makes total sense for them to do it. I would actually be somewhat surprised if they didn't.

5Fivehole0 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Lol top 5.. Hedman, Karlson, OEL, Keith, Doughty, Pieterangelo, Weber, Suter are all better. And that's off the top of my head, probs 15 D-men better Hedman, Karlsson, OEL, Keith, Doughty, Pietrangelo, Weber, Suter, Ekblad, Subban, Giordano, Burns, Byfuglien, Josi, Letang, Yandle, Markov, Keith, Kronwall, Shattenkirk, and possibly more but I can't think of them.

250Integra Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Start off bidding high, settle in the middle. Nothing unusual. He should get $7ish mill money. He is a top 5 dman in the league. Doughty Keith Pietrangelo Subban Weber Suter Karlsson Mcdonaugh OEL .... Yeah, no. He had one good season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsedin33 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I heard one hit wonder Giordano is also asking for high $$ upwards to like 9m. Way too much for a player who will only play 3/4 of your season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Strome Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Man I would love that to happen. Was just talking to a co-worker about that happening. The return would be possibly less than what they traded away. They would likely just match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALGARY! Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Gio won't get 9/per, he'll get a raise, and Hamilton will get a good contract, but Calgary has boat loads of cap space, and as the other guys(Monahan/Gaudreu/Bennett, etc) start to need extensions some of the older guys (Smid/Stajan and more) will be ending their contracts so I really don't see any problems for Calgary in keeping everyone signed and happy. The addition of Hamilton also allows us to play around with trading Wideman or Smid and bring in some picks or bottom six fillers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Strome Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Doughty Keith Pietrangelo Subban Weber Suter Karlsson Mcdonaugh OEL .... Yeah, no. He had one good season The problem with yourl ist is Gio is a better player then some you mentioned. Again he was the runaway favorite Norris winner before his season ending injury.

Calgary's cap situation will be just fine considering the players that will come of the books. In my opinion Calgary very well might have the best top 4 in the Nhl next season.

-AJ- Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 .... Yeah, no. He had one good season Make that two in a row. This last year he had 48 points in 61 games, but the previous year he had 47 points in 64 games. For some reason, no one noticed him and he went underrated. Seems he's still somewhat underrated.

In my opinion Calgary very well might have the best top 4 in the Nhl next season. You’re forgetting that Johnny Hockey, Monahan and Bennett all get raises in two years. Fan 960 (Flames radio) even thinks Calgary will be in trouble and should be moving Hudler/Wideman this summer to prevent any risk. And best top 4 in the league. I don’t know about that. NSH Weber Jones Josi, Ellis NYR Staal, Girardi, McDonagh, Yandle CHI Seabrook, Keith, Hjalmarsson, Oduya STl Bowmester, Shattenkirk, Pietrangelo.
