We are needing:
- a number #1 center.
- We need a top Right winger
- We need a short term mentor goaltender for Wolf. Must be average or better for a couple of years. (this assumes Wolf can become "the One")

Many seem to believe that "tanking" for a high pick is somehow leading to a "losing" culture in the locker room. I guess having a "winning" non-tanking culture for 35 years (Flames), 25 years (Winnipeg) or 54 years (Vancouver) is deemed as success and is proof that non-tanking works?
Frankly, whether tanking/rebuilding or not, it is extremely hard to win the Stanley Cup, likely the most difficult trophy in major sports today. How many examples of key injuries, a bit of "luck", bad officiating at a critical moment or the "hockey gods/bad bounce" have changed the course of a series?
The Flames are not winning anything with their current team, so let's refill the cupboards now, while keeping remaining players accountable and professional...
The problem is.....
Look at Buffalo. How has that tanking been doing for them?
Look at Flames and tell me how well we did with selling off Iggy and JBow? and who did we end up with "that plays" from those two trades and the picks?
The people who own the team don't want tanking. They want competitive team.

Except .. Flames are not going to throw in the towel..until the race is over..people can hope but need to accept that ain't happening (again.. an offer we can't refuse aside )
Last night was a big lesson on how times have changed. We honerrd a guy who gave us 9 seasons of excellence . By the last couple seasons, we were hot garbage .nobody was clamoring to push him out of town.. upset that he kept us out of the cellar...
We would have understood if he has asked out .. but he never did .. In fact he vetoed a trade that would have given him a chance at a cup that year .. people were actually upset that the trade would have even been made , while at the same time understanding it was a good thing for him..it was more important to him to never wear a different jersey..
Here we have a guy that . Ok BIG longshot .. is attempting to do the same thing ..and fans are upset .. want him gone ..
Anybody else notice the big shot Noodles took at those fans last night ? It was subtle but it was there .. saying how lucky some fans were to see us go from Vernon.. to Kipper ..and "now that guy right over there ..Jacob Markstrom"
Add to that.....
How many Goalies did we go through after Kipper? Just trying to find one that would work...
Almost as big a search as trying to find Iggy a center he could play with.

I presume you mean Hanifin. Markstrom isn’t going to Florida.
Can set your price all you want but as a pending UFa market will dictate the return and not the flames, unless they are cool with him walking for nothing. That’s the game I’m referring to. How much is Hanifin worth to Florida if they feel they will get him for free in the offseason? What’s he worth if his agents are making it known he won’t sign in other places and thus forcing those teams to lower their offers?
Great work from his agent if he is pushing him a direction that will get him less money....
He wouldn't be my agent positioning me to get the least amount of offers.

Selling is selling.
Retool, rebuild, selling UFA's.
It's all selling
we could just as easily be buying. Buying picks, prospects and futures.

When trade deadline is over I'll be happy, until then I'll just have

Our direction is clear. Make up 7 points and jump 1 team in the process. Far better than 5 points back with 4-5 teams to jump over.

Nico Daws gets lit up again. Markstrom is unhappy.
The Flames and Devils would both benefit from sorting this thing out.
If there’s any way at all of landing Holtz, do the deal. Regardless of retention.

AWESOME G.D.T.
Remember this cute kid, he was a story...
The 5 o-clock shadow he wore was awesome too.
Today the grown up Kipper Kid now does artwork. Including goalie masks. He was able to present Kipper with one he crafted for him. Shows you how great the Calgary Fan can be.

Interesting comments from Markstrom today.
matches some speculation I heard that the Flames are not happy with how this has gone down.
Like I said somewhere else on forums....
It never should have been reported out to anyone that he was asked to waive his no move clause for a Devils deal.......
Until the Deal was complete.

I think my strongest memory at this time is his "heel save".
See Brews 2nd video above.

After you guys "listen to it" wander over to the GDT in progress and tell everyone about your favorite Kipper memories or saves.

Shilly lookin good out there, didnt take long to get up to speed. Makes losing any D men a little easier to digest.
When you consider we are likely losing 2 of our top 4 D (Hanifin - Tanev) It becomes more important.
Read an article today that said Tanev might be getting offered an extension. When you consider how the team plays when he is injured then an extension might not be so bad.

Go Flames..... show them nay Sayers

Well we are poised to pick 9th overall unless someone gets lucky and jumps over us.
Our team diff of -8 tells me we are a middling team or slightly below. Playoff teams should have +25 or better team diff at end of regular season. Sometimes there is an outlier but .....
There is also little doubt in my mind that the Markstrom trade that broke down at last minute is a big factor why we are playing poorly now. I am wondering why he was asked to waive his ntc before the GM's had totally agreed on the price and cost of trade.
I guess we need a core to lead this team. Backs is a leader but not really a core piece. Where are the big money guys to take us on their shoulders and push us through these tough spots.
Not sure it is fair to heap "all of this" on the new guys or rookies. Other than one really good year the Flames have been wandering in the desert of mediocrity for many many years.
The 5 o-clock shadow he wore was awesome too.
