What do we think Atkinson would require to dump next season? Obviously, they shouldn’t pay because they’re rebuilding. But as a thought experiment given recent events.

They're trading him next deadline with the Colorado 1st for a rental... and a 5th round pick.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Take NHL players away from Calgary and they keep on winning. 4-1 over Tampa.

 

[Flyer lurker]

I don't know what game people are watching, but Ginning is f***ing awful. Impressed by Attard so far though.

Ginning is more of a solid "2"
where as Staal is a taco bell wet "2"

and i don't mean number 2 d man

A hot streak and some effusive Torts praise and I could see him netting a 3rd at the deadline next year. Heck, maybe even this summer for a smaller or no return and max retention.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Attard doesn’t look out of place at all.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Better than Staal is a REALLY low bar

Or we extend him July 1st for 3 more years at 4 mill per.

20 years ago that Cup Final. Damn.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Cates is lost out there.

20 years ago that Cup Final. Damn.

That’s wild. Was such a good series too.

As good as Danny B is, Even he won't be able to get a 2025 7th for staal.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Imagine TK on a top team.

Netting a 3rd! The Flyers can’t trade for him.

He’s not NHL caliber anymore, will be 35, having a career worst year, and making $5.9MM. He’s as dump as dump gets. To trade a positive player like JVR, teams asked for a 1st from a team that just finished bottom 4. They could eat half Atkinson’s contract and still need to pay. Fortunately, he’s too valuable to Torts to trade.

How about a pp coach

 

[Winston Wolf]

Atkinson is so lucky he didn't blow up his knee right there.

 

[Nizzle]

Pens down 4-0

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Cates is lost out there.


That’s wild. Was such a good series too.

IIRC, Calgary had a losing record at home during those entire playoffs and yet went to Game 7 of the Finals.

 

[VladDrag]

Foerster has to quicken up that release - he pauses right after he loads it all the time

 

[bennysflyers16]

How about a pp coach

Ya but would the new guy try really hard ??

 

[GKJ]

IIRC, Calgary had a losing record at home during those entire playoffs and yet went to Game 7 of the Finals.

That conference final, the home team won 1 game.

Won 4 Game 5’s on the road

 

[Magua]

“What if Rocky wasn’t the hardest working guy in the organization?” is a thought that keeps me awake at night. As Lovecraftian horror teaches us, it is better to not know.

I checked, too. Road teams won 17 of 26 games that Calgary played in 2004.

It is a distant memory but I am almost 100% certain Barry Melrose said "The Philadelphia Flyers are going to win the Stanley Cup...." following game 6 against Tampa Bay. We knew something would go wrong, even then.

 

[eramosat]

It seems like Poehling should have more than 8 goals. I really have no complaints about his game

now that's high praise...you have no complaints? really??

A 2048 2nd should cover it since that looks to be a better class.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Very few complaints. Is that better?
