Agreed. I've been advocating this since Gaudreau left and Tkachuk wanted out.
Buy vintage jerseys. I'm 40. I have a rule I don't buy jerseys for guys younger than me. Only one left in the league who I can buy is Giordano.

HFBoards is well aware that today is election day in the US. We ask respectfully to focus on hockey and not politics.
Man people are overthinking this trade. We have plenty of second line wingers and plenty of young players to compete.
Not to mention for 6 million in cap we could get a replacement tomorrow. This doesn't signify anything for Calgary

We've already seen teams shedding cap having to give up additional assets to make the deal. 2nd plus at deadline when his cap hit is diminished is a given. $5.8 million is a lot for 14 goals.
It signifies we are getting smarter. We have plenty of middle six wingers. If we're doing anything it should be at C, D or a W on a 1 year deal to flip. Like what St. Louis and Toronto did.

Good idea, I always jump the gun when they announce a new jersey.
I do have a blank retro reverse pedestal jersey, but I have no idea who to put on it.
Other jerseys I have is a Backlund, Kipper, and Joe Mullen was my first Flames jersey.
I had his value pegged at a 3rd if we moved him now. His value isn't in offense. He's a high end defensive winger. Like a poor man's Coleman.

Yar, he had one big season but hasn’t scored 20+ goals otherwise. Jumps off the screen, but isn’t actually that effective. Fun player, helps keep Washington from being too awful (hopefully), but I’d move on as well, in Calgary’s spot.
I have a Glencross with the Alberta flag on the shoulder. I can't decide between Glencross, Backlund or Nieuwendyk on who my favorite all time Flame is.
Good deal for Avs for a late 2nd. He’s a good competitor and versatile. Young enough to negotiate an extension if he is willing to take a lower salary.

The trade was fine, we just should have been selling Huberdeau and Weegar at the TDL. Get a prospect and 1st for each of them and we could have actually done a quick turn re-tool at that point in 3 years. Now it'll be 5 or 6 years minimum.
Damn, as a Pens fan (can’t talk too much smack because my team is also in no man’s land)…
Just have to chuckle at what the Caps are doing. What a waste of great cap space. Mangia and PLD for almost $15 million in space.
That's awful.

he may stay on ltir, but oshie talks about how his back is so bad that he literally has to stay on the floor/
We aren't the Sharks still. I think we're the 4th or 5th worst team in the league. We still have 2 top pairing defensemen, a high end 2C and an elite shutdown line. We just have no premium pieces and no D or C depth.

Actually went to Washington. They traded the Avs 2nd that they had.
He does hit goalies in the chest a lot and fall a lot. He's still an effective shutdown winger. One of the best at that aspect of the game.
