Well if he was traded now he'd have 1 year left. When he was traded to Montreal he had 2.5 left.
So it equals it out.

When is the last time a team burned it down like Calgary is about to do?

So it makes perfect sense that Flames fans are asking for what they traded to get him

I bet youll see some that want what I wanted back then

If y'all couldn't tell, I'm having a field day with this news

Team name being the "Flames" is very convenient

Lindholm and Hanifin not re-signing is a good thing for the flames , both contracts will age poorly and Calgary has no path to contending over the next few years anyways.

Good thing they signed Huberdeau and Weegar for 8 years

Lol nothing they can do about that now (at least for Huberdeau) but flames are in the “not good enough to make the playoffs, not bad bad enough to get a high pick” situation even with Lindholm and Hanifin. This news should make CGY re-think their direction and rebuild. They have a lot of good trade pieces

Don't forget Kadri lol

He signed for 7 years though so everything is fine

Good take from Lebrun

Idk but they got competition in WPG

Tree get your shopping cart ready time to bring some old friends to your new digs

That Weegar contract is easily tradeable. There are plenty of teams that would offer a deal like that in free agency right now, especially given how weak this UFA class is.

So Philly, Winnipeg, Calgary (and DeBrincat) I’m guessing will want to try and get 2023 draft capital if possible. One idea is that the most likely to move is the most valuable - the best of the best when considering all things.

I wonder who the best is (I put these in rough order of what I think)

Lindholm (best C)
Kyle Connor (Best W)
Konecny
Laughton (cause of aav for cash tight team)
Hanafin
Hart
Scheifele
Toffoli
DeBrincat (cause only 5 teams)
Hellebuyck (cause cost of contract)
Backlund
PLD (cause he’s going to Montreal)

So many people. I’m forgetting some.

Imagine if Chicago scooped up ROR, Lindholm, Hart, DeBrincat…..Dare I say that’s a bubble team Ready to rock in 2 years or so? Prob like 3 firsts of value out and 28 mil against the cap or so.

Isn’t he like one of the only guys who wants to stay?

**** those dip**** politicians too

Kind of funny how 3 teams are gonna decide to blow it up on the year we see the worst FA class in a while

Its like the hockey gods are going fine lets make things spicy

I don't know, but regardless, he has no trade protection at the moment, and if you're doing a rebuild, he'd be a great asset to sell off.

id be hilarious if he went to another Canadian team

all this news about Calgary makes me smile, also nobody even talked about how Mitch Love left Calgary for Washington

McDavid's game 5 OT winner started the downfall of Calgary

good, political and social causes shouldn't have anything to do with sports, no matter what cause it is
