Brady Tkachuk is really upset about losing Norris as a teammate

Scott Laughton to Toronto
Branden Tanev going back to Jets for a 2nd

 

[Bounces R Way]

Jets and Lightning reacquiring Tanev and Gourde both from the Kraken is kinda funny. You think these energy 3rd line guys are a dime a dozen but it's a harder position to fill with quality than GMs admit.

 

[DomBarr]

time for Conroy to go to the Spa and take the rest of the day off. There is NO way he should pay these prices to acquire anything right now.
in fact, I would be rethinking the Flames stance on both Kadri and Andersson right now

gonna be MIA for a bit, so no more updates for a while

before I step away

 

[Bounces R Way]

This franchise really has perpetually terrible timing lol

It's also about how well they fit with the team. Easier to know with the guys they had before.

 

[King In The North]

We really just staying put..?

 

[Boomstick]

Colorado/Boston Mittelstadt for Coyle , details still incoming. Friedman reported this. Done deal, but may be more to it.

[COL/BOS] Charlie Coyle for Casey Mittelstadt, Will Zellers, 2nd round pick​

 

[Boomstick]

Seems like Detroit has acquired a dozen goalies this year. They get Mrazek back.

Dallas won’t be picking in the 1st round for a while, unless they deal for another team’s 1st.

Edit: nvm, I was looking at their 2025 draft row, not their future 1sts lol

 

[RasmusAndersson]

What a crazy day. MASSIVE price for Dallas to pay for Rantanen. Colorado are the big winners of the deadline though imo, Nelson and Coyle are such underrated players and really solidify their offensive depth

With the west loading up, the playoffs if they happen at all for the Flames, are going to essentially be a "waste of 8 days" as Sutter once said

or Wolf wins Conn Smythe

 

[Some Other Flame]

Doing nothing is better than buying but both are worse than selling

Flames luck too that they were sellers last year when the market was weak but have no UFA's to move this year when the prices are insane. Similar story with cap space.

Is there any team that is loading up in a manner that really concerns us? IMO I'm not noticing a major concern for playoff race stuff, but sure, first round and after there's some serious firepower loading up.

Long term pieces at good cost, sure. Consider. But I'm OK with Frost/Farabee being this years move.

 

[Mobiandi]

Flames did fine with their UFAs. But not getting more for Tanev was really disappointing

Nah. Blues might be moving Schenn, Utah is just re-signing their guys, Vancouver made some moves but got worse IMO

 

[Volica]

Yep. We didn't miss out. It's not like he hasn't done anything. He did the Frost/Farabee trade already. I trust Connie will keep tabs on some surprising deals to be had, but he ain't going to be stupid and pay sticker price for stuff we don't need.

The Frost and Farabee trade is highway robbery compared to what’s going on today.

You’d have wished Tanev was available this year. He’s have gotten a first +.

If anything, Vancouver, St Louis and Utah are all sellers; LA hasn’t moved the needle at all.

Calgary somehow sitting on their hands might end up favorite to snag th WC2 or Pacific 3.

Yeah, I was referring to the 1st round. Right now the Flames are slotted to play the Jets and that's very likely going to be a 'why even bother' week.
