Flames fans are going to enjoy Gudbranson always picking the wrong guy on 2-on-1s, and falling down when any speedy forwards burns him on the outside. And taking a roughing or tripping penalty at the most inopportune time.
But he fights!
I’m not doubting it when you guys say he is garbage .I just don’t get how a “professional “ GM / coaching staff / management can want to sign a player like him for that much money?
I honestly asking that as I do not understand it yet you see transactions like this happen at least once an off-season .
Is it a coaches or GM’s ego that thinks “ oh I know what I’m doing , all those naysayers out there , I’ll be able to turn him around . We play a different style game and system and he will fit in perfectly !
Two months later HF thread :Calgary Flames - Gudbranson on waivers for purpose of a buyout
And eveyone on here posts to say “ I knew it the moment they signed him”
I cannot see this working well for the Flames at all unless he is used as a #7 but why pay a #7 almost 2 mil? Scary thing is , he will get a decent amount of icetime then
