Around the NHL — Episode XLXVII

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

The Flames aren't interested in rebuilding just yet, they want to compete. Cap space don't score goals!

Their roster is just too good to bottom out atm. If they want to tank, they're gonna have to make some more big trades to send guys out, which doesn't seem to be their plan. They still have a top pairing that could hang with anyone in Weegar and Andersson, a competent veteran forward group, even if a bit underwhelming, and Wolf standing on his head definitely doesn't help either.

I think they have a slightly better roster overall than Vancouver that's basically the only team they're competing with for that last wild card spot.

Would people do Tkachuk for Michkov if it was proposed by Philly? 5 years younger, 2 more years of ELC

I know people love Brady but a Stutzle-Michkov duo for many years to come is enticing...



Yeah but Kuzmenko has no value. He should but like Vrana, no value. I was high on Pelletier but he might not bring more than 3rd line offense in the NHL

Farabee and Frost are still young and could bring more than they did in Philly. Good for the Flames IMO. However they also spent a 2nd

Apparently Frost has been progressing nicely, defense became his best attribute.

Kuzmenko’s value is two fold. 1. He knows Michkov and 2. He is off the books. It’s basically Pelletier for Frost and Farabee and his extra years for a 2nd. Kuzmenko is simply a make weight contract.

Calgary has the 2nd lowest projected cap hit in the league after this deal.

What else you got?

Cap space for Philly not Calgary. It seemed obvious that the team going the cap space is the one I was referring to.

Torts is going to have some fun with the zero defense Kuzmenko
