Junkyard Dog Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Just now, kanucks25 said: I'll reserve judgement until we see the final roster. Just the problem here is that there's no UFA left that can replace what Tanev did for us. Barrie isn't the same type of player. So we'll have to pay something to replace him (trade). Only guys available that could replace or bring more than Tanev are Savard who'd we have to trade for and Pietrangelo who'd we have to trade cap to get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, that is too rich a deal, so best to walk. Hopefully Stetcher isn't too offended to re-sign because we need some help right about now. Now we just need Toffolli to sign somewhere else for the trifecta. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tystick Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Good luck Tanev. I wonder what JB is brewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 It would be fitting that Tanev and Marky get injured for the season the first Flames game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Calgary signed two 30 year old, often injured players? Or because Gaudreau will finally put it together this coming postseason? Or maybe Giordano will somehow turn back the hands of time? Lucic will develop McDavid like speed? Edited October 10, 2020 by PhillipBlunt 2 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least if we sign Toffoli we can be good offensively, because right now our D is looking pretty thin. In another thread I dared to say we aren’t as good on paper and likely to take a step back.... folks don’t want to believe it. A lot of guys had career years last year, and our key players were healthy the whole year. We got Vezina calibre goaltending. Pretty much everything went right and we squeezed as much out of our roster as could be reasonably expected. We swap the best goaltender in the league (based on expected goals Metrics and difficulty of shots) for what is probably going to be average or a little above average goaltending We lose a steady veteran D and Stecher was one of our most efficient contract and great on the defensive side. We are still looking to lose a top six winger on top of that. Basically everyone who left was outplaying their contract value and we are left with a lot of guys who are the reverse of that. I am not saying things can’t end up better next year, but the odds are pretty low. Hopefully there is something up his sleeve, but so far our roster is worse on paper for sure. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savard would surely be a decent get as long as we don't pay much as he has 1 year left on his contract. Not even going to begin to get my hopes up on Pietrangelo. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty clear they were prepared to go without Marky and Tanev, so they have other irons in the fire beyond the OEL negotiations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way we could accommodate the loss of Marky was by adding 2 solid D. Gonna be hard to do that with the cap we have and harder to do that as the're getting taken.

Seems you would rather see the team make bad decisions simply to justify your own opinion rather than root for you team to make proper decisions. Might be time to think about your priorities. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo2337 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) We're gonna target David Savard I bet. Then nobody here will be crying anymore. lol, and how is Calgary gonna sign 7 players with 6M in cap space?

rekker Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) Ouch. New this may happen but it stings. Losing Tanev is one thing, but to the Flames. Ouch. JB may have to make a trade involving some pieces once hoped untouchable. If it's for the right dman it's all good. I say F it and offer sheet one of Cernak or Sergachev.
