We sort of know the deal between Toronto and Calgary. It’d cost a lot more.

I don’t really want to trade Backlund unless he really wants to chase a cup, I’d love to see him retire a Flame
If he does really want to chase a cup it would be kind of mean to send him to the Leafs

With all this noise out of Vancouver... if Petersson shakes loose here, have to assume this team'll be all over that, right?
Like the fact we skipped out on Kakko is one thing, but Calgary as @FLAMESFAN mentioned, aren't going to have their first rounder and then are going to be sitting on picks in the late 20's. Have to find some gold here through trade to help get younger and more talented.

Gotta feel if it’s one or the other they move on from Miller though right? They’d get way more for EP but I don’t even know what a package from the Flames would look like. Probably Andersson and a forward that can slot into their top 9
I’m also not completely sold on EP. The whole woe is me attitude kind of irks me the wrong way. Depending on the ask from Van they should definitely be sniffing around but he’s not a guy I’d sell the farm for

It's irrelevant, there is no way that works cap wise. Leafs are already in LTIR, they need to send a dollar out for every dollar they bring in... and you have them adding 9 million and sending out 3.5

I dunno, I see it differently, we're still being propped up by that hot start. As time passes, we're getting closer to the pack behind us. We're no longer in a playoff spot, and while we're 16th in the overall standings, There is only 10 points between us and Nashville, who are 4th last. And in the last month 7 teams behind us have out performed us, with 4 of the 7 playing .600 or better hockey in that time, coincidentally of thse 7 teams, 6 also have weaker remaining schedules than us.
We are also starting to see more cracks on our blueline as the workload is already catching u to Ras and Bahl especially.
We've also been very lucky with injuries thus far, with just 2 guys missing significant time in Mantha and Costco, and as much as we love Costco, his loss isn't going to have much of an impact, if any. I'm not sure Mantha's loss hurt us either if we're honest.
For sure, I don't see us in a playoff spot. But I think it'll take a pretty good collapse to drop back to bottom 10. It's possible ofcourse, but it's just depressing to think we'll end up 11th.

Knowing Vancouver, they’ll end up trading both Miller and EP40 within 6 months of the other going.
I think Vancouver and Buffalo shake things up together. We don’t have the pieces for Pettersson
Would probably look something like Kadri, Wolf, and one of our 1sts and 2nds

they could do what we did when Weimer and Val Bure had beef... trade them both to the same team in a single trade.

Stoke me a clipper.
I would hope so, and the relationship has been built already with the Zadorov & Lindholm trades.
This is a guy you should overpay for if you have to.
Hell no, situation is all wrong.
I wouldn't want to give any substantial asset for EP

Never been a big fan of Pettersson. Talented hockey player definitely but don't like his attitude. He is being paid like an elite 1C in the NHL and he is still built like a bubble tea tween. Gets knocked over by a strong gust of wind. Pretty good defensively but lacks the speed to be able to create those great scoring opportunities consistently. You got to have the right kind of motor to play dominant at the center position and I don't think Petey possesses it.
That contract to me has a lot of potential to go badly, and really a much more narrow window to go well. Would not touch with a 12ft pole. And not only because it probably results in him on his ass along the boards like usual.

Kind of surprising Conroy didn't go after Juuso Parssinen. Wasn't exactly a hard price to beat if he had really wanted him.
Maybe it means the organization is finally accepting Zary is the chosen one. Plus Kerins

Not sure what the Flames are doing right now to be honest.
They’re middling, which is exactly what we didn’t want. They’re not going after these young guys who are going for scraps. Like what’s the plan here? Write-off season?
Finish 18th in the league? Hand over our pick? Use the Devils and Panthers pick and calling it a day at the end of the draft?
Ah life as a Flames fan.
This is what I've been waiving my hands in the air about for a year now....
Feels like so many past seasons of just missing out.

Yup. It’s a tough life being a Flames fan. We need Kadri out of here to suck bad enough to get into top 10. Hey maybe we get an injury that just gets us into top 10. Treliving is only beaten by Feaster for worst GM of the Flames.

I felt like there was a plan last year, and there was a plan this offseason. I’m just not sure what the plan is right now
Like, be better than the bottom dwellers, play everyone in the 10-25 range really tight, get the doors blown off against the good teams.

I could see LA or Van maybe stumbling and Minnesota coming back down to earth is inevitable but the problem is that we’d have to sustain our level of play to take those wild card spots and I think the Flames have been punching a bit above their weight so far so it feels unlikely
With no good UFAs to sell it’ll probably be an uneventful deadline where nothing happens unless a team like Dallas or Buffalo or something blows Conroys socks off with an offer for Ras or Kadri
Could lowkey see Kadri as a good fit in Dallas with Seguin on LTIR until the playoffs, that’s why it would be kinda nice to pickup the Parssinen types when they’re that cheap because our center depth will be gutted if we move Naz. Worst case you have a cheap young bottom 6 C
