Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | Post Free Agent Frenzy, Will JJ Show His Pimp Hand Again to Upgrade the Defense?

[ThePhoenixx]

Are they building the Flames new arena on pontoons for when it floods again?

Is it just me or does it look like they parked a bus in front?

Will be a Friday news dump.

If it's Bowman, best to wait for the long weekend. Friday 11:30pm release to the most loyal media guys.

Spirits of former flames fans. Trying to block and save others from witnessing the horrors inside that they experienced.

JJ said 7-10 days so we all expect that.

Taylor Hall is an MVP who increases team speed and skill level so, just sayin…

Maybe 3 years ago.

Are they seriously designing the building to make it look like it’s on fire?

Do they not know the memes?

For those that mentioned it- I’d have time for Yamo on a league minimum contract. He wont be stapled to Drai’s wing and he’s tenacious enough to play in the playoffs. I think if you took the pressure off of him on having to score playing with Draisaitl, he could be an effective player. Yamo, on this team, would block a shot with his face if he had to.

Reunion tours are fun, but there's probably going to be like 25+ players on waivers to start the year alone better than he is.

They are looking for nicknames for the new building that are fire related. I recommended “Dumpster Fire”

The flames serve as a reminder to Edmontonians that their money was burnt to help pay for this piece of garbage.

If you are steadfast that discussing a possible extension in the initial signing is asinine, I certainly wouldn't go that far, and also would suggest that it would be a distinct possibility.

Hey Henrique. I know we just traded for you, but how about a 3x2 in the off season? C'mon man...Anything is a possibility, but the timing of the reported signings indicates otherwise. I have no idea why Louis got his panties in a bunch when i praised JJ for doing a good job. There was at least one report of Holland not being happy when he left, and it's fair to surmise that the hiring of JJ above him being the main cause. Holland may have advised JJ, but he certainly wasn't calling the shots.
One thing is for sure. Holland was sure AF not advising during the draft OR FA.

No thanks to Yamamoto.
Nothing against the kid, but he's just not a fit anywhere on this team's forward lines.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Id only want Yamamoto if he was in the AHL cause he would give our prospects someone skilled enough to play with down there.

My vote is for “The Ash Hole”.

I'm surprised they are naming it Scotiabank center instead of like Canadian Tire center.

Then we could call it the tire fire.

Love how the flames get a new arena. Be nice for oilers fans to have a nicer place to pack the barn down in Calgary.

Griffith, Pederson and Caggiula are already there for that job; plus guys like Lavoie, Hamblin and Jarventie aren’t exactly AHL rookies at this point. They’ve got more than enough skill to succeed in Bakersfield this year imo.

I have to admit at the time i thought it was a clear win for Calgary. Weeger being the piece i was sure was over the top (love to have him in oilers uni still)
Goes to show sometimes fit wins overall

Gregor said, eh. So it will be next week then?

I thought Frank Seravallis comments on Bob's show tonight we're pretty interesting.

- He basically said that Jackson has had a full year to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses on the organization.
- One of the weaknesses under Holland was drafting and development which was evident in the Wright firing and hiring of Pracey and Larsson.
- Thinks it's refreshing that Jackson made the team better both in the short term and in the long term with the moves he made.
- Believes that Gretzky is well liked around the league but doesn't think he is in the running for GM.
- Thinks the way the AHL team will be run differently under Jackson with more opportunity for younger players to develop.
- Believes Jason Botterill is on our radar and might be promoted in Seattle to GM at some point.
- Doesn't think Mark Hunter would want to leave London. All they do is win and have a license to print money.

I thought the Flames “won” that trade as well on the basis that I thought that a lot of Tkachuk’s production was fueled by PDO and Gaudreau and that the other two coming back had a more consistent track record.

However, I was steadfast in the opinion that it was insane to suggest that the Flames were better than the year before. Besides the fact that it was illogical, it felt a lot like media cheerleading. Made zero sense when looked at beyond reflex impressions.

Thanks for this!

Dare I ask, did Bowman come up at all? Sounds like he figures Botterill and Hunter won't be the new Oilers GM
