if he's available and not outrageously overpriced on the trade market hell yea. Would be nice to get a bruiser D that is young enough to be impactful for a few years.

On the flip side, if you're getting demoted by the 2023-24 Habs, maybe there are a few too many holes in your game... would have to look into that more before giving a definitive yes

That owner rather get market prices than do a blockbuster lul

What a fool

Imagine the return his team could have got for both Tanev and Zadorov

Nah gimmie market value 0 overpay because **** Brad lul

As soon as Toronto trades for someone else CGY gonna be going **** what now

That was my thinking process

Also, so far Calgary ownership has been against retention in any trades. It's hard to get good returns if retention is not part of any trade considering the contenders are up against the cap.

Well if you think about it these are CGY's potential 3 big TDL deals

Lindholm
Hanafin
Tanev

If they had retained on Zadorov would only have 2 slots left

3.75m is more reasonable to move without ret and the return on those 3 should be greater

As even with ret Zadorov may have got a 4th over a 5th coming back

Lindholm with ret could see a return like ROR

Hanafin potentially like ANA Lindholm

And Tanev something like Gio potentially

I get what you're saying but so far, ownership has been against retention of any kind. That kind of handcuffs the GM IMO.

If they change their tune, yeah the returns on those guys you mentioned should be good.

Well they were never selling nor needed to. Its Lindholm and Hanafin you want to save the ret spots for. Toffoli and Zadorov's deals were reasonable and for Toffoli they took technically salary back.

As the last time they retained was Rittich as CGY sold its one big rental then. But in general CGY other than that year has never sold as they were always trying to compete. This year most likely they gonna sell so those 3 spots will most likely be used for the above or at least 2/3

Nobody paying attention allowing for a Norris breakaway

And a last min back breaker

Timmins honestly fast becoming a I dont want you in my lineup as he saw him and didnt think to react till hes gone

I'm still convinced we need a forward more than a D. A two way middle six type would be excellent. (Honestlty we need a kerfoot lmao)

Dube + Tanev

Both together would = Kling money if CGY ret on Tanev

But at the same time I think we just dont need to play Reaves against teams who dont got an enforcer. I know OTT and Tkachuck but that man aint gonna fight Reaves.

Maybe Zack MacEwen but still

Give McMann or Steeves some ice as Steeves to me should be getting NHL ice rn


Anyways yea Dube to me is like another Jarnkrok and would be a nice addition to this lineup but still as for the priority got to be Dman as that Dcore is 1 injury away from total utter disaster. Benoit, Lagesson, Lajoie and Timmins have filled in but are not the it guys we need

Yep. I think we need both before I can see this team being a legit contender, but yeah, we really lost a lot of defensive prowess in our forward group.

I’d really like Yanni Gourde if he could be had. Positionally versatile, good at both ends, and an absolute asshole.

Dube has been playing like waiver fodder. Not an option

Been pretty impressed with Lajoie so far

Guys playing with something to prove

I like it

Maybe hes trying to say get me out of CGY

As b2b 18 goal seasons should be good enough to go lets give it a try. Plus shouldnt cost a lot to get him due to his current play

Look at Bennett left and much better. Maybe Dube just needs a change of scenery this year.

Knies has that dog in him

BRICK WOLLLLL

How many breakaways Woll gonna have to save tonight

And OTT already scored one lul

Can we help the guy pls

KAMPF LETS GO

Haven't been watching but the shots are 24-13 in favour of Ottawa. Ouch! We got to pick it up!

Woll has been superhuman

Domi just did one of the sneakiest plays I have seen lul

Man I love this third line

Same... looking at Domi before and after getting the C position is crazy

Idk that feels like interference as Stuzle pushed Brodie's stick into Woll

But yea Brodie needed to be better there either way

2 days before they made that line, I made an AGM on here suggesting the EXACT lines they ended up doing. Robertson-Domi-Jarnkrok was the 3rd line I listed. Domi had received no hint of centre time at that point. I am convinced the Leafs saw my post and were like "hmmm good idea" haha.

God can we not give a guy his first NHL goal lul
