You’re kind of proving his point with your comment. Not only that, but you sound entitled and seem to be viewing people as possessions of their organization. You’re essentially saying the higher ups/managers can be as incompetent as possible but the players should just “suck it up” because they signed a contract and they belong to the team now. Your putting words in my mouth. Here’s an example of a player which coach and gm feel he’s not ready. There was also a dispute about which position the player wanted. This one example was controversial people sided with the player, and people were also siding with cooper and yserman. They felt he wasn’t ready therefor not living up to the contract. So who was the dick here. I say both partys. They played hard ball but the player was equally seeing himself as something he wasn’t. And yes they played it out as if he was a possession.

I wonder if either Tanev or Markstrom regret signing there and/or if Calgary regrets signing either of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) poor, loyal chris tanev, he'll never ask his way out. craig conroy is a class act, hopefully he sees the writing on the wall and sends tanman to a contender against his will (or back home where he belongs). my money is on him wearing the c there, though, and being the character and culture that they try to rebuild a group around.

He was bought out because his previous salary wasnt commensurate with his output, but his current output when healthy is within the range of a 3.5 mill Dman, provided he’s tasked with less TOI than he was here. People making him out to be such dead weight are reaching. He’s still a very sound positioning 2 way Dman with decent speed and a good eye and shot on the PP. The question is can he continue to tolerate wear and tear. I’d add him at 3 - 3.5 simply to hedge a bet that he’s also an LTIR candidate which could prove very beneficial if required to parlay into legal cap circumvention. I don't think you understand how LTIR works. Unless JB gets hired somewhere, I can't see OEL getting close to $3.5m this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post D-Money Posted June 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) The cherry on top of this is Calgary doesn’t even have their 2025 1st round pick. They traded it to Montreal to dump Monahan’s contract. Edited June 23, 2023 by D-Money 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combover Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Abandon ship!! They can thank Sutter and his dinosaur mentality and antics. He scared off their two best players and now it seems all the players agreed to get the F out of “cow town” (lol ) the first chance they got. What’s with Alberta and the terrible slogans oil country, cow town shocking people want to leave. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't live in Arizona. Never understood peoples desire to live in a desert. I'd pay more taxes and live in Washington State, Oregon or Hawaii.

What’s your point? If I want to quit my job I’m supposed to give two weeks notice. These guys are giving about a year’s notice that they won’t resign at the end of their current contracts. They don’t face similar things as us because they’re some of the BEST IN THE WORLD AT WHAT THEY DO. They’ve earned the right to control their destinies. There’s ways to do it though. Giving the team a large heads up in advance is professional. Doing it the PLD way is a bit different Giving the team a large heads up in advance is professional? Like Gaudreau?

Seannnp Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Players wanting out of Calgary are all represented by the same agency. Maybe it has nothing to do with the players and everything to do with a rift between the flames organization and the agency? Doesn't make sense but there's more to this then players just wanting out despite Sutter leaving. Dont think this has ever happened. This will be 6/7 players that are refusing to sign with their current team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Conroy is doing what every online fan would do in a video game setting. Ask the players ahead of time. One aspect of doing this though is that he's pressuring them ahead of time to make a decision. If Calgary has a good year, I think a lot of them would want to be back, but forcing them to make a decision coming off a bad year will naturally have a negative skew to it. In any case, damn if you do, damn if you don't for Conroy... He's stuck in a tough position trying to resolve 7 pending UFAs who only have one year remaining on their deals. Canucks are sitting in a pretty comfortable spot by comparison. We will have to make a decision on Beauvillier at some point in the next year.

KKnight Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I would definitely be keeping a close eye on the Tanev situation. Nobody has played as well with Quinn than Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody has played as well with Quinn than Chris. Yeah, but that’s sort of by default. Tanev is really the only quality top-4 D-man that Hughes has ever played a regular shift with. Love Tan-man, but he has a lengthy injury history and turns 34 in December. If the price was reasonable, sure. But if it’s going to cost assets to acquire him, I’d rather target someone who would provide more long-term value. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Despite their ages, I’d be all for trading Garland for one of Tanev or Backlund. Plugs a big hole for this season, and clears the books for Pettersson’s extension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
