Speculation: Armchair GM 2023-24 Season. If we can't say "Rebuild" what do we call it?

[rt]

Random question, but are you sticking with your team through the move? Also sorry you lost the Yotes, you've been one of their good fans.

Yessir. Utah fan now. Appreciate the kind words.

Since I'm tired of Flames fans, I might be spending more time over there and watching Utah games next season.

I'm a little worried the club will be using our capspace to try and make the playoffs

With that NJ 2025 1st, and Florida's, they might be OK giving up our 1st

I still think it's a big mistake, and totally expect to finish just outside if they try.

That theory is tanked by the Markstrom trade.

If they go out and get another goalie? Yeah, that's the canary.

I honestly think Wolf might be as good as Marky was this year, the real difference is no Hanifin, Tanev, Zadorov for the full year

This is a very good draft for Conny/flames. I LOVE the russia/canadian roster approach.

There's the Calgary kid Yaremchuk, Iginla, and Catton (Sask). plus a number of Russians projected in the first round. Lots of good long term guys who are likely to stay in Calgary if they turn out. Good draft for the flames in the first round.

No chance bud, but he will be our no 1 goalie for a different reason.

Depends on the "canary".

So Markstrom got traded and that on it's own didn't warrant an own thread Tells you what we all think of him- it is what it is. Not happy it's a 2025 1st rounder but OK....

Try turning your eyes off and then turning them back on again.

Conroy has to circle back to Skjei. It has to happen, this is going to happen

Flames needed to be in on that Walman trade earlier today.
That would have been perfect - a depth Dman and a 2nd?

Don’t think we will be getting any of the big name UFA defencemen, either because they are looking to go to a contender immediately, Canada factor, or we are unwilling to match value/term of other bidders.

If we were to land Brady Skjei, I will be happy for you. Lol

Kind of disappointed we didn’t get a free asset to bring Walman in, but with a 10 team NTC, we probably weren’t a consideration. I could see us acquire Maatta for free if DRW continue to remodel their D.

 

[User1996]

I’m having a really hard time understanding how Skjei makes sense though.

30 year old, America FA coming off his most productive year to a team who will not be competitive. Sounds like a 7 year deal at more money than he deserves to me.

Does make me wonder about Kylington though. Surely if he were coming back and an Andersson move was unlikely, we’d not be in the market for one of the higher end FA D?

If Kylington is gone, give me Alexandre Carrier, another top 15 pick, and Morgan Frost and I’d be very happy with that off-season.

Skjei is what OKG things kylington is

I think management reads these forums at times. If they're stuck on two similar guys, they'll go on here to see if there's a mention of players for breaking that tie.

More Skjei posts vs whoever else is the other target and it might sway in his favor. But that means someone is moving to make it work out doing it as you said for contract comparisons for Kylington.

Either Kylington is moving as everyone is assuming if asking about Skjei, or Weegar. Those are our two LD. Ottawa ponied up for Ullmark, maybe they'll pony up for Weegar in a way that makes sense, hence the Skjei exploration.

I mean if be happy for you, but this is an odd tip of the iceberg if it's not serious than just data collection.

There are obviously exceptions, but between here and reddit, I have more Flames fans on ignore than Oilers fans and Leafs fans combined.

Hedgehog's dilemma? Only those closer can hurt you. Those further out avoid obvious spines?

That's why Flames on ignore because they can actually hurt and frustrate and Oilers and Leafs on your regular auto filtered because it's obvious risk?

Maybe, but I've been saying we have the worst online fans for a long time now and it seems to be getting worse as the better fans are living their lives and posting less.

If they do, we're f***ing doomed lol

If Brady Skjei is signed we're winning the cup.... what are ya talking about?!

I've wondered since we drafted Eetu Tuulola.

Well. He's to hoping things change for the better instead then.

A name I keep thinking of... Spencer Knight. I actually like the idea of him slowly taking the time he needs to return. I think we still need a stop gap goalie, but I'd also hope we learned how to handle a guy like Knight through experience with parsons.
