I really hate to reopen the topic, but what does that mean for Habs? Top 19... what kind of number is that? What logic goes into agreeing on it being being top 19 and not say 17 or 21?
There are what... 60K people there? It feels like a covid game
We’re most likely going to have their ‘25 1st rounder
Unprotected in '25, no? Wasn't there some crazy conditions that must be met for it to defer to '25?
True. The worse they are the less likely expiring contracts will return.
No if its a top 12 pick Calgary keeps it, If it isn't it's Hughes choice to take the pick or wait until 2025.
In '24, right? I guess what I'm asking (and I think I know the answer), is ultimately, if Habs don't get or take the '24 pick, that they end-up with an unprotected pick in '25. Someone had posted a good breakdown of it all...I just don't remember where, lol.
Yes, I remember something about 2025 and about Flames needing to really really suck next season... just the number 19 looks odd to me. Anyway... maybe Habs will get another 1OA and can get another Slaf's buddy
Yeah, it was quite a complicated trade. I just read an older thread...and @montreal provided a good breakdown. If I read it right, the best scenario for us is a 2nd overall from CGY in 2025.Yes, I remember something about 2025 and about Flames needing to really really suck next season... just the number 19 looks odd to me.

I'll believe they have had a change of heart when they sign extensions and I can't see them wanting to stay with the state of the team
I think it’s only top 1 protected for ‘25. The crazy conditions it’s about if we land the CGY or FLA pick if I recall
Bizarre. I guess we should probably opt for '25 then. I can't see the Flames improving by then, if anything, we may have a lottery pick.
Agreed, but at the same time I can see Calgary not wanting that to happen if they wish to kind of rebuild/retool and hope they give up the pick next summer
I thought we can turn down the '24 pick. Still confused...lol.
Think we need repost this to remind people of the conditions.Somebody did it a while back
Huberdeau Kadri Weegar all have 7+ years, Coleman Markstrom have overpaid 3 years left, Andersson is a very good D (under a cheap contract). That s why they wont rebuild most likely. The three last years of the first three contracts mentioned are going to be awful. I don t see them rebuilding in the next 4/5 years.
No it is not only Gallagher has 4 years left. Let s assume you take 4 years to bring your prospects up to speed and get them their first contract, 25% of your cap will be taken by Huberdeau Kadri Weegar.
I think Treliving did everything to save his job, like Bergevin but happily enough Price and Weber were signed before his last year and went on LTIR. Common practice should be to fire or extend a GM one year before his comtract ends
