86Viking Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 He is on the older side but free prospect, 1 yr low risk move... no problem from me. Would like to see us try find some more rhd to add to our depth. See what Rafferty can do with some time in the NHL before we praise him to be the be all end all... But low risk regardless of who we sign, it's just a contract slot no players/prospects or picks involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Colton Poolman, is he the 2nd and only other College player we have been in contact with regarding a contract? Was at youngstars in the past, so some familiarity with the organization Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 J.D. Burke: Some sources were saying that the Canucks were looking at Marc Michaelis’ teammate Connor Mackey. Rick Dhaliwal: Sources are saying that the Canucks were initially in on Mackey but they are not anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he makes it, he'll be a #6/#7 defenseman. He's not as consistent as his brother Tucker, but he's steady and responsible. But it'll be a grind to make the Calgary blueline on the left hand side, even after Giordano is gone. Valimaki is obviously the go-to guy. As for the other spots, Carl-Johan Lerby and recently signed Connor Mackey are both more polished, especially Lerby. But even if only 1 of the 3 between Lerby, Mackey, and Poolman make it, that's still free prospects that cost nothing but salary. Low risk, high reward.

To be perfectly honest, and I’m not from Alberta, but if I had to choose one Canadian city to play in and live, hands down Calgary would be the city I’d choose. Without hesitation.

My guess is because there’s gonna be a big shake up there after failing expectations. Lots of opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without hesitation. Really? 9 months of winter would be where you want to spend your time? I suppose fuel and insurances prices being lower would be a bonus...but that is about all I can think of. Been there a few times, would never move to Calgary unless i got offered a damn near 7 figure annual salary. Even then, I would do it for a short time then GTFO and bac to BC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you're confused about... you said you'd hands down move to Calgary out of any city in Canada, and your reason for that is that you would move anywhere if you had to? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how much longer can Giordano last? This especially. Once Gio is gone, their left side is Hanifin and Valimaki. And after a full season off the ice, chances are it won't be until the 2021 season where Valimaki gets his legs underneath him and is able to show more than he will next season (2020). Will Mackey and Poolman pan out? Good chance neither does. But they're free prospects. Worst that happens is they're given a chance to crack the lineup and it doesn't work out for the Flames. Worse things in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Jason went undrafted and is a top-10 finalist for the Hobey Baker. David was a 6th round pick in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
