LETS GO CONNIE

 

[HanSolo]

Vegas likely to repeat

I don't know about all that

 

[WhataKnight]

I fricken knew it.

I mean, to be fair it was obvious considering he had almost full power of where he wanted to go.

Anyone remember when we didn't hate Vegas and were happy for them? When their top defenseman was Nate Schmidt, Fleury carried them, and their top line was Smith-Karlsson-Marchessault? Now their top line is x-Eichel-Stone. Their top defenseman is Pietrangelo. And their starting goaltender changes every single season since Fleury left.

Think I hated them the second they made the Stanley Cup Finals. But more when they traded away half the inagural roster and fired Gallant.

Sorry - I just kinda had to.

I want Conroy to trade something significant to Edmonton ... spread every last good player the Flames have around the Pacific !!

Huberdeau is significant, cap wise lol

 

[InfinityIggy]

Hanifin has been on a bit of streak the last couple months but Andersson has been ahead of him for years and Weegar was our best defensemen last year and has 15 goals this year.

Love Kylington but he's a distant 4th right now.

I think you can make a solid argument for any of Weegar, Andersson or Hanifin as the Flames top D.

For me it’s Weegar rn.

So?

2024 is a different year.

Tampa got swept by CBJ and then won the cup with the exact same team.

Not scared.

Vancouver has a good team, I’m not saying they should be scared of anyone. But I doubt the reigning champs who just got better are scared of you either

 

[Straight Fire]

Hanafin can be a top or 2nd pair guy on any team and QB the pp on most teams (at least on the 2nd unit). I mean you're not going to see a more serviceable top D out there this year.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Martinez magically on LTIR the same day they land Hanifin...

 

[Filthy Dangles]

 

[TheBeard]

Vegas won the cup with almost this exact team.
Rielly Smith out and Hanifin and Mantha in.

Vegas is DoA if they don’t get the miraculous goaltending they got from Hill.

For me it’s Weegar rn.

Ya on any given night any of them can be our best player

Oh they're scared. You see the moves? That's panic.

Canucks are good where we are. Looking forward to whooping Vegas in the playoffs. Hanifin won't save them.

 

[FLAMESFAN]

Come on - confirmation please!

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Friedman just said there might be a 3rd team involved to make it 75 retained.

 

[IceNeophyte]

Martinez magically on LTIR the same day they land Hanifin...

False. He is on IR.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Thank f*** it’s not Florida, Tampa or Boston. We dodged a bullet lol

 

[red devil]

 

[Andre Palot]

Tampa wanting this trade nixed is funny. Considering this was Tampa's M.O. for years.

 

[Yepthatsme]

Hanafin can be a top or 2nd pair guy on any team and QB the pp on most teams (at least on the 2nd unit). I mean you're not going to see a more serviceable top D out there this year.

Hanifin can do a lot of things really well, it’s why he’s developed into a great number 2. Quarterback a powerplay was never one of those things.

 

[Some Other Flame]

You seem to be confused. Conroy's every move so far has been to help Edmonton's probable playoff opponents. No one wants to see Edmonton win, no one.

my god VGK management is brilliant

 

[King Woodballs]

[Three On Zero]
