That’ll tie in a nice little piece to the Giroux trade discussion.

its under the assumption that bellows would get waived, but I forgot they were saving that spot for anisimov

Bellows would have needed to have been waived today, would he not? He’d also need to be claimed.

its hilarous we actualy have a lineup for old dogs to get in like a popular niteclub.

 

[ajgoal]

They're out of contract slots. I don't think they technically need to have room to make the claim, but they'd have to trade a player by noon tomorrow thereby clearing the space in order for it to be valid (I think).

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Who is getting moved to Arizona for "future considerations"?

....with a 6th round pick included.

No

I would be shocked if a team claimed Bellows if they put him on waivers. He stinks.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Is he still within the window that NYI could just take him back if he gets waived? But yeah, I think it would have had to have been done before before today.

It’s gobsmacking that a team with no talent somehow has 50 contracts. Having optionality was burning a hole in their pockets, and you can never have enough plugs. I’ve never seen such horrific asset management on every level.

It has to rival bad organizations in other sports as well.

I wouldn’t even limit it to sports honestly. Mao’s Great Leap Forward had a better 5 year plan than this.

Giroux with 8 goals, 9 assists, 60%CF, lot of sens fans are saying he’s been one of the best senators this year. 8 goals…and some fans always complained he just didn’t score as much/or he is just an assist man. Wild chuck wouldn’t even consider him being back since he wanted to compete lol, wtf is his plan?

Bundy is sometimes a glimpse into the way that old guard thinks.

I can’t think of how many times he said something along the lines of “it was time to move on”. The whole way that trade went down with making it conveniently public that he only wanted Florida.

Who did the optics of that benefit? Giroux? Or protecting the Flyer management team from the scorn of a poor return?

They wanted him gone, just as much if not more as he potentially wanted to be moved. Truth will come out one day.

He's doing what Hextall did. Trying to rebuild and compete at the same time. But so far he's doing it even worse than Hextall.

Just think, Charles Entertainment Fletcher has been the GM almost as long as Hextall had.

Fun game between the Flames and Panthers in the first match-up since the offaeason trade.

4-4 headed to a shootout. Tkachuk scored the tying goal in final few minutes.

Huberdeau scores in the shootout, but Tkachuk gets stopped. Flames win, though.
