Unless the Flames expect Wolf to play at this level every year, they've got a painful rebuild on the horizon. With their season on the line, the Sharks are playing them out of the building but Wolf is standing on his head right now.

Also drew helleson averaging around 16 mins a night in his rookie season…. +9 with 12 points in 50 games


Pretty solid season for him(part of the Josh Manson trade)

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

There’s the hit in question for those interested

That made my ex pause mid circular










if I had an ex-wife

...they didn't really have a choice; he refused to sign with them...

Yea, but it started cause he wanted to sign the yr before (and I guess Philly didn’t want to burn that yr on his ELC)

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

...they didn't really have a choice; he refused to sign with them...

The question is why did he refuse? If it was a legitimate beef with the GM they should have fired the GM.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Sharks are hopeless

Sharks are hopeless

Eh they got a lot to get excited about …. But prob 2 years out from turning the ship

...it was literally cuz they knew he wasn't ready for the Show and didn't want to burn a year of his ELC...he basically f'ed Philly over cuz he wanted his money NOW...

That smol ginger is the only reason they are even sniffing the playoffs. That being said that painful rebuild already has a lot of nice prospects on the blueline and the wing. Need to pick only centers in the draft this year.

It doesn't matter if he was ready. He was a high first round pick and should have been offered that as a matter of course.

Yea, that’s fair. There was some perception that he was entitled, etc…. I dont remember all the details. Blame on both sides I guess.

But if Philly would just embrace a rebuild, and not have Torts all over these kids - who cares if you let him try the NHL a year early. If you believe in his talent long term. I dunno.

I was expecting a huge rebound, good save by the EDM goalie

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Oilers should run Gauthier if Ducks are gonna play like Goofs

 

[LuGBuG]

Philly was so dumb to trade this kid. And, I’m ok with that.

Weird they got fans on this board that told me he should be in the A

Knob bout to sick Jeff Skinner on him

 

[RedRocking]

Weird they got fans on this board that told me he should be in the A

Yea, he’s gonna have close to 20g, 40+ pts this year. My instincts are to blame the Philly org for “mishandling” the beef.

But, I also hate them and think their FO is dumb, so I’m biased, lol

Oil should do some duck hunting in third

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

I can't believe Gudas is a captain, seeing him standing there waiting for a verdict and then be the one the skate back to his bench and explain it to his guys....

you would need a little orphan Annie decoder to figure out the calls....

...burning that year of ELC for no other reason than Gauthier wanting to get paid earlier wouldn't have been a smart move for Philly (cuz they knew they were going nowhere), so they didn't do it; no one thought Gauthier would blow a gasket and refuse to sign...it was a spoiled pr*ck move, imo...

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Close Team

 

[Gjman2019]

Flames Jets would be a fun all Canadian matchup series................Come on Flames don't blow this........

 

[koyvoo]

Ya, the Ducks-Oilers game getting nasty.

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

EDM gets 2 mins from that LOL

 

[Bounces R Way]

Must be that "Cali reffing" coming into effect.
