I really thought he'd have to continue his career in Europe this year.

Maybe his new team is a new expansion team coming in this year that we never knew about? London McQueens? Paris Eiffel Towers? Berlin Walls?

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

Bet it's with the Avs.

We love our former Flames

 

[Rebuilt]

Bet it's with the Avs.

Nah.

Raymond is the ANTI Jagr. He only plays in Canada.

 

[strictlyrandy]

We love our former Flames

Yup. Plus they could use cheap wing depth.

 

[Proust*]

Wow, we must have officially entered the doldrums of mid-summer when someone makes a thread about Mason Raymond.

 

[strictlyrandy]

Nah.

Raymond is the ANTI Jagr. He only plays in Canada.

Only former NW Division team left for him then is Edmonton. I could see it.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

I hope he can bounce back. He just never really jived with Hartley.

 

[FlamesFan18]

Hope it works out!

 

[Janks]

Hope he pans out for another team. He didn't fit well in the system, and the kids surpassed him given he was signed to replace some scoring lost by Iggy/Cammy etc.

 

[ziploc]

I wonder who is in on the Raymond sweepstakes!!??

Ya that's not a bad fit. As long as they're paying what he's worth (around a mil). They could use some speed/skill in their bottom 6

 

[The Duck Knight]

This has Bob Murray bargain bin signing written all over it.

 

[TheNewEra]

Have a bad feeling it's Ottawa

Raymond certainly does provide speed.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Raymond's career highlight was being mentioned on How I Met Your Mother.

 

[RedHot]

He's NHL calibre, and probably wouldn't be a bad pickup for a team looking to flip him at the deadline. Just didn't work out in Calgary

He's got NHL speed, and an NHL shot. Problem is he can't turn well at speed, is weak on the boards, and only really shoots straight into the goalies crest.

Oh and his defensive play isn't much to write home about either.

I like the guy, but he's not exactly someone playoff teams are clamoring for at the deadline.

 

[Hobble]

Manitoba Moose?

Certiainly hope not lol

We have 14 forwards under contract right now too...

Im thinking its Toronto..

 

[BonMorrison]

Anaheim? Poor man's Cogliano?

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

He was bad in his first year with the Flames.

Last year he actually was pretty decent and he hit the post like 8 times but Hartley holds grudges and the writing was on the wall.

 

[Bender]

Bet it's with the Avs.

I sure hope not!

 

[Mighty Makar]

I hope it's not with the Avs!
