I *DO* wonder if Blackwood will be at the dev camp.
Why wouldnt he?

Im also a fan who think Gardiner gets way too much shit and hes a near top pair dmanI'm not too familiar with Gardiner outside of two things:
1. He's a puck-moving defenseman, which fits the Shero mold for that position
2. His flaws got overblown by playing in Toronto and the media anger that comes with it
Still, I think they should focus on getting another winger.
Mitch Marner's agent isn't Darren Ferris, it's Paul Marner.
Why wouldnt he?
I think he is and were being a bit too tempered on our expectations of himI really wish Smith was AHL eligible. I question whether or not he is ready for a full year in the NHL and he certainly has NOTHING left to prove in juniors.
Butcher, McLeod, 2020 1st and a conditional 2021 2nd for Ehlers
Sign Gardiner.
It's not really that (at least not JUST that). It's that it looks like we'll already have 4 other goalies for the camp.I think people questioning him being there are questioning if the club needs to see him in development camp. He's "proven" himself in some eyes I suppose. This is all me guessing though so forgive me if I misspoke on others behalf.
I honestly think that part of the reason he was sent back last year is that we would have had to expose him in the expansion draft if he played last year. Now he's exempt, so it's one less worry. WE may not think ahead like that often, but I think Shero and co. do.I think he is and were being a bit too tempered on our expectations of him
Look at McAvoy as an example. I think Ty gets close to that. I mean the kid nearly made it last year and won CHL/WHL dman of the year while supposedly being the best defensively out of the top-5 dmen taken in his draft after Dahlin (and MAYBE Dobson)
Are these guys legit at all?
I saw some reputable people following them, but I don't trust them. Also, I think I scrolled down and saw something like "remember, you heard it here first" which screams Eklund-like guy.
I'd do it in a heartbeat but that's a pipe dream. Calgary would be stupid to let him goWork out a trade around Hall and Tkachuck....
I sadly concur. You never know though...I'd do it in a heartbeat but that's a pipe dream. Calgary would be stupid to let him go
