Bob Long Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 So according to Sportsnet, Burkie is feeling truculent again and wants to make Calgary "black and blue" :-) http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/brian-burke-flames-want-black-blue-team/ Do we have any assets to send his way to help him on his way to turning Calgary into Toronto 2010 that we could turn into another 2nd round pick? I don't think we have a package to get the 6th pick out of them this year but if Burke is feeling frisky who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV's Coin Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Swap firsts with them so they ensure they get a forward, one of Tkatchuk or Dubois. we pick a D-man and pick up a 2nd or middling prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Dorsett but Benning loves what he brings. There aren't many candidates on the Canucks that fit the definition of what Burke is looking for.

Twilight Sparkle Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 he must have just tuned into the blues/stars series and is like, "you know what, i like what i see from this blues team. we have talent, we just need some big bruising guys, bam, we're st. louis" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Biestra Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Well, I'm sure they'll be willing to take more of our promising first rounders for 4th liners. I dunno, Boeser for Bollig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also just shaking my head at the story too and goofing around. Well, the firing of Hartley makes a lot more sense now, at least in terms of why they did it.

Burke will get one of Tkachuk or Chychrun. And I am sure he believes he will win the draft with either one. As do I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see it. I think they are looking for a guy like Kirby Rychel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the cupboard is dry though on Burke's dream, at least with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bissurnette Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Why are people always mocking Burke about wanting a truculent team? LA/SJ/ANA/STL are all truculent teams and they've had a lot of success in the west for the past few years. What's wrong with wanting a team like that? That's the team I want here in Vancouver. Skill, speed, and heavy bruising hockey throughout the lineup. Nothing wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, simply because of being in the same division. However, Flames have an embarrassment of riches at our weakest position. Giordano, Hamilton, Brodie, Wideman, Jokipakka, Kylington, Andersson, Kulak, Sieloff... They have to dump cap too. Could see them paying a premium to have a team take Wideman off their hands.

420since1974 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I feel that the only point where the Flames might receive some half decent value for Wideman would be at the next TDL. He'll have less than $2M left on his contract at that time and would probably waive his NMC for a play-off team.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id rather overpay Demers this offseason then trade for Wideman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Buzzsaw* Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 If Burke is having some male menopause hot flashes and wants to fire-sale some of his less physical talent, I say by all means. I'd take Sam Bennett if the price wasn't too high, he is a decent 3rd line center who will put up 20+ goals for a lot of seasons. I'd take him for a 2nd rounder any day.
