Hamilton is unmovable. They are offering him to everyone and unless they pick up 50% he's going nowhere. NTC are easily worked around these days, you see it all the time

lol

Nice talking with you

Trading a 2nd overall pick 150 games into his career at the tender age of 22 is stupid.

If only the Rangers were that stupid with Kakko and Lafreniere.

The two picks were essentially the returns for both Anderrson and Kadri. I hope he works out and see it as a very smart target by Conroy.

It does seem to log jam the right side (atleast with potential difference-makers) but thats a scarce position in the NHL and could be used to address their need at center in the future.

While i think its well etablish that centres are the highest ranked position in terms of value, i think RHD is right right there,

Centre
RHD
RW
LHD.LW
G

I think thats the order in which teams rank positions, atleast based on roster impact

why the hell would you trade your picks away ROFL tanking the tank

They didn’t trade their picks away - they traded Vegas and Colorado’s picks in the next two drafts.

If you’re happy to have him, that’s all that should matter. Congrats!

Pretty sure they aren't a Flames fan

 

[PensandCaps]

If there wasn't a few wrinkles he'd never be for sale. He wants more minutes we can give him that haha. We just gave Olli Maata and Kuznetsov more TOI than he got in Jersey.

Maatta played shockingly well.

Everyone seems to. Huska is a very good defense coach imo

I like Yan too, Bahl seemed to take another step under Calgary. Kulak broke out there.

good place to develop. Hanafin was at his best in Calgary, Weegar aswell.
