f*** it.

Campbell

Bourgault
Holloway

I'm serious.
He isn't a significant upgrade over Skinner. Is that a hot take? Very similar stats on teams with drastically different levels of defence quality.
 
This is such a fairweather city. Until the playoffs start you'd never even know they had an NHL team.
I live here and can attest to this lol. Even in the playoffs the two cities are drastically different.

It’s weird because in 2004 the city was alive for the whole drive.

Since then. Even during playoff years bars aren’t full and people often aren’t even wearing jerseys

Still lots of rabid fans but there does seem to be less than Edmonton on the whole.
 
A lot of it is context. With RFAs its much harder to do cause they retain the rights and the ones up there I don't really see moving.

But like always. We will have to see what happens at the end of the day and see if we actually missed out on anyone. Some teams that are out rather hold onto their nothing cheap guys so they don't have to jump prosepcts into the league.
They wont move and it doesnt make much sense this year as I dont view this as the all in sell the farm year. To me that is still next year where you pay through the nose for double retention etc.

We still have a RD hole - I think when we solidify the D our goaltending looks better. But a lot depends on that.

I think we could win if the east beats itself up a lot but for the most part we should just sit on the 2nd + 5th and our prospects and try and hit a home run at the draft and/or offseason for the missing D man.

Yeah Edmonton goes apeshit in the playoffs I can’t really think of another city that get that into it. Winnipeg maybe?

That's the thing, Yamo is also in over his head. He got closelined by Holl and just took it.
What’s he supposed to do ? Fight him? Oh and he still scored that game.

I’m not saying don’t trade yams but I doubt Lavoie will just jump in and be better than him.
 
This is always how it has been, like forever. Flames fans worry and think about the Oilers a LOT for some reason, and Oilers fans hardly ever think about the Flames. I personally don't think about them anymore than I do any other team in the Pacific. I think its a result of them historically being on the wrong side of the ledger and therefore an inferiority complex being built up over the years. That is just a theory though. Honestly, who cares though, lol.
I experience that here in New York as a Yankees fan.
Mets fans obsess over the Yankees, it's as if they care more about the Yankees losing than the Mets winning whereas Yankees fans couldn't care less about the Mets. It's Little Brother syndrome, you just kind of feel sad for them after a while. The one difference is that the Mets fanbase is very loyal while the Flames fans are fairweather.

Saros? Are you out of your f***ing mind? He's been playing at that high level for years now. He's a significant upgrade on both goalies, and it's like night and day if you get him while moving Campbell
 
Holland would RUN TO NASHVILLE to make that trade if need be, there is zero chance that Nashville would do that, lol. But yes, of course i absolutely LOVE your hutzpah.

Yeah I agree it's probably still not enough to convince anyone to take Campbell back.

I'd think about adding more if we had anything else left lol

I saw my fair share of tats in 2004, but prior to that year the city did not care one iota about the Flames. Can't say I really blame them as they were stuck in perpetual medicority.

Hey, kinda like now. Man Calgary you had the chance of a lifetime to tank for a legit superstar and you're going to end up picking around 16th yet again.

I hear ownership does not believe the fan base would survive a full rebuild and this is why they only ever “retool”

In a heartbeat but I don't see that moving the needle for Nashville. I think Broberg would have to be in that package in place of one of Holloway or Bourgault.
 
He's not a top 6 player and Oilers need a top 6 RW.
I don't think we need one. 5 of our 6 top six players are top 20 wingers/centres in the NHL. Having one who is not as good hardly ruins anything. He can win puck battles, has good hockey iq and is at the right place at the right time. He just can't finish as good as a top six forward
