JM_ Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 29 minutes ago, D-Money said: Yup. It may happen sooner than people expect. Look at San Jose. Everyone knew the fall was coming, but they sure didn't expect it immediately after handing Erik Karlsson $92 million. I suspect Flames will be solid for a couple of years. But the pain will likely start coming before the contracts they handed out to Huberdeau, Kadri, and Weegar are even halfway done. I mean I get it, Treliving didn't have much choice here. I guess in 4 years they can just tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would still need a RHD and the 1st rounder could be used to draft positional need if we do poorly. The package is enticing and I do love Robertson, but if we put that together we should definitely get a RHD back Yeah you're right and besides Horvat and Rathbone plus 1st wouldn't be good enough to get a Robertson. I can't think of a good quality RHD that we could get with that package. Schneider is not nearly good enough, the rest of the contenders don't have any RHDs under 25 not named Makar and Fox. Who am I forgetting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that these deals prevent them from tanking and ensure that they stay in the soft middle for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until Nemec shows what he can do at the NHL level, there's no way I'd gamble away a potential PPG dynamic defenceman like Hughes. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 if they dont get it done in the next 2-3 years theres gonna be a lot of anchors there. On HF boards Florida fans claim that Weegar and Huber were very underwhelming in the playoffs. Could Flames be over estimating what these guys can bring at crunch time? Disclosure: I Hate the flames more than any other team so yes I am biased 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I'm just not as big a fan of Weegar as others. Overrated in my mind. That said, it's not unreasonable money. He could trend down the Tyson Barrie path to ineptness on D imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see him as 3rd pairing. He is a 2-4 dman. Even if it’s 1-2million over payments in the second half of the contract. That’s still better than a lot of teams!

Hogs & Podz Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 In theory... This is a epic moment in time for the fLames. Hate to say that... However, that is just on paper... I hate the fLames but... This may very well get them to the cup, and maybe win it. But if this doesn't pan out, though I think it will... Ohhhhh shit!! Regardless, respect for pulling these deals off under difficult circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's proven that, but at age 33-35? 2nd pair at best. Age 35-38? Likely 3rd pair. Edited October 7, 2022 by coryberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also have some intriguing Swedish d prospects that I would like to see develop and make the team. If that happens we may not need a true #1RHD.
