GDT: Game 63: Canadiens @ Flames, March 8, 7 pm ET | SN, CITY, TVAS

[The Great Weal]

Part of me really wishes that Marner/Rantanen swapped happened where Marner doesn't sign with the Canes so the Canes lose out even more

 

[PavelBrendl]

random Q, why are all those central Asia, ex-USSR dudes so good at MMA?

Because getting punched in the face is the easiest part of growing up in a Central Asian ex-Soviet state.

 

[domiwroze]

Imagine if Marner said no to the trade just to walk to UFA

He would be my new hero

They grow up fighting for food on the steppe so…

 

[Wateredgarden]

3 fourth lines.

That's what I meant!

 

[HuGo Sham]

We gave a 1st for Dvorak

And a 2nd

Habs trade Laine for Marner's rights.

CC-Suzuki-Slaf
Demidov-X-Marner

They come from tough upbringing build tough mentality. Plus hard core training method, and wrestling tradition.

 

[Tuggy]

Can someone other than the first line do something?

 

[HabsCode]

And a 2nd

What a shit, reactionary trade.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Habs trade Laine for Marner's rights.

CC-Suzuki-Slaf
Demidov-X-Marner

No.

No shits given...

 

[ahmedou]

It's not Montreal Canadiens vs Calgary Flames...

It's Lane Hutson vs Dustin Wolfe!

The Calder Game!

 

[The Great Weal]

Hughes needs to make a Matheson+ for Weegar trade happen. Flames need a LHD and a more offensive guy.

Marner blocked the trade just so he can disappoint Leaf fans one more time before free agency.

 

[Ezpz]

Marner's gonna go wherever has low taxes and cap space. Which the cap is going up so much that pretty much any team can throw an offer. Probably Vegas.

Marner is my favorite glove thrower.

We joke about how Vegas has unlimited cap space, but I just don't see how they do this. I'm guessing he goes to the Hawks for 14 million/year.

I hate the Leafs more. Thanks, Mitch, for blocking the trade.

Gotta love Mitch's spirit

 

[Skip Bayless]

Hughes needs to make a Matheson+ for Weegar trade happen. Flames need a LHD and a more offensive guy.

Yeah, but doing that trade gets them nowhere. Weegar is their #1.

That would've actually benefited the leafs, which hurts us more directly.

 

[Team_Spirit]

And a 2nd

Picks in the Dvo and Newhook trades look like busts so far

 

[domiwroze]

Habs trade Laine for Marner's rights.

Wake up honey, you're moaning '' 2025-26 habs top 6 '' again

They have 16 mil cap space this summer. Sign Hill, Marner, eject one contract and fill the rest with 900k players. Probably William Karlsson is ejected. He served his usefulness but had a down year so he'll get cut.
