Friedman: Flames looking for a scoring forward from the Blues (Tarasenko or Barbashev)

[SeanMoneyHands]

Makes sense. Flames desperately need offense. Dube could be going the other way.

Blues & Flames Emerging as Trade Partners

According to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, the Calgary Flames are trying to add a scoring forward and the St Louis Blues have been linked ...

Flames would return to their level from last year if they got Tarasenko without giving up much from their current roster.

Having said that, I hope their GM develops a mild form of Pejorative SlurATION and takes Boeser from the Canucks. :evil:

 

[Iggys Dome]

Those were two separate statements from Friedman, Blues and Flames are looking to add a forward. He wasn't linking them.

just try the kids for f***s sake you f***ing morons

 

[Unbiased Fan]

just try the kids for f***s sake you f***ing morons

Yeah because Jacob Peltier is anywheres near Taresanko lol

 

[HabsQC]

Mike Hoffman used to be a Blue, do you want him ?

 

[Bounces R Way]

Yeah because Jacob Peltier is anywheres near Taresanko lol

Yeah the kid who led the AHL in rookie goals last year is a scrub.

As far as price per point goes, he probably would be better.


lol

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Flames may be better off with Barbashev as he's 6 years younger than Tarasenko. Barbashev for Kylington and Pelletier.

 

[Gurglesons]

lol what.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

lol what.

Top 4 dman and a young forward with top 6 potential.

This.

 

[23Monahan]

Lol so you took Friedmans comments out of context and linked two teams that are trying to do the same thing. Then you mention that it might be Dube going the other way, which quickly turns into Pelletier and kylington for barbashev? Lmao solid thread making OP!

 

[Gurglesons]

Top 4 dman and a young forward with top 6 potential.

Good luck getting that type of return for Tank.

lol

He’s not better then Taresanko that’s ridiculous he’s 21 years old with no nhl experience. Taresanko would be a top 3 forward on the flames

 

[Langdon Alger]

Mike Hoffman used to be a Blue, do you want him ?

I don’t get the feeling that Hoffman would be a Darryl Sutter kind of player.

 

[Turin]

Kapanen scored 20 once

 

[Bounces R Way]

He’s not better then Taresanko that’s ridiculous he’s 21 years old with no nhl experience. Taresanko would be a top 3 forward on the flames

The point is he costs 10x more.
Read it again, maybe slower

As far as price per point goes, he probably would be better.

The last thing the Flames need is to give up yet more futures for another post apex expensive forward.

 

[BaseballCoach]

Flames would return to their level from last year if they got Tarasenko without giving up much from their current roster.

Maybe they should pay a first round pick to get Sean Monahan. Guy seems to be healthy now.

Hey Vancouver has a ton of scoring forwards (who can't play Defense) Sign us up

 

[Ruthervin]

Hey Vancouver has a ton of scoring forwards (who can't play Defense) Sign us up

We also have a funny President who gave the green light to his GM to sign said forwards that don't know how to play defense, and is now angry at said forwards and the coach!

"Jim" is still in Vancouver.

 

[rumrokh]

Why is this still labeled as coming from Friedman? This is not what Friedman said. The tweet, NHLtraderumors, AND the OP deliberately took two separate comments out of context because they happened to be spoken consecutively.

The two statements are actually mutually exclusive, saying that a deal is not pressing for Calgary. And, opposed to Calgary, if someone is going to make a move, keep an eye on the Blues.

 

[CupInSIX]

Better get in line for Barbashev. He'll probably get a 1st with 50% retention if they sell him at the TDL, regardless of how bad his numbers are.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Those were two separate statements from Friedman, Blues and Flames are looking to add a forward. He wasn't linking them.

Pretty sure he linked them in the JMS podcast. However the OP's link is a site less trustworthy than Eklund. 100% clickbait
