CanuckleHorse Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Our UFA players want to be here remember that they picked us to play for so stop putting them down and except that you ain’t gonna get Mr Perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice8eight Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) I cant laugh at this, this is brutal. This is the equivalent of Petterson not wanting to re sign. Edited July 21, 2022 by ice8eight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassbs Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) I actually feel bad for flames fans. As much as we hate for them, 2 of their best young players refused to resign with them. It’s one thing getting traded, but flat out saying FU to the club…. I can only imagine if hughes and petterson did this. Or imagine hughes/Petey/Miller all saying FU to van. edit: sometimes my English is atrocious Edited July 21, 2022 by sassbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With everything that's happened between Laine, Dubois, Pulj, and now Tkachuk - and probably Matthews next, I don't feel as bad about the Juolevi pick. Gone are the days (I hope) where I wake up in a cold sweat at 5AM after seeing Linden's face at the draft lottery in my dreams... dunno how u can find any solace.. all of them minus pulj can and will recoup good assets if they were to move.. Juolevi u can't even get anything for since he's on waiver for free nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, RWJC said: Good proposal. Imagine if MT sticks it to the Flames and indicates that no matter where he is traded he intends to hold out until UFA so he can then choose where he goes afterwards. He’d likely be the top UFA on the market (given some others are previously extended by their teams) and imho would absolutely cash in huge. As much as people wanna vilify Tkachuk. It seems like he told Calgary his intentions early so they can trade him. Instead of losing him for nothing like they did with Johnny Hockey. Although at least in that case they got him for free so all they really lost was hope going forward. I don't think Tkachuk wants to do them wrong, he just doesn't want to be there. Which sucks in of itself, but is what it is. Edit: I was wrong about Gaudreau. I thought he was a NCAA free agent for some reason. But losing a 4th rounder that played 8 really good seasons for you stings less than a 6th overall pick that wants our before turning 25.

wallstreetamigo Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I wonder if Columbus is on Tkachuk’s list. Laine going to Calgary in the deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Rivalry aside, it's hard other to feel for Flame fans right now. Losing your two best players, one of whom just walked to free agency for nothing, has gotta be a dagger to the heart of hockey fans in Calgary.

So much worse. They were in legit cup contention and now basically forced onto a rebuild out of nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinatcc Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 people are laughing at Calgary right now here. But this also further hurts the trade value Miller has as well. If I were a team looking for a winger I would rather go for Tkachuk over Miller considering the age + he's an RFA after the contract expires.

Hopefully that’s not the case with Petey when his bridge deal is up. If the team signs Miller to a long term extension, do they have enough money and cap space to sign Petey to a long term deal? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
