Your drop of Cozens !!! Ouch

The movie is being scripted by the day. My prediction as the 2024 feel good story line. The Flames will have Jerome select TJ.

I am really not sure about Celebrini as I think he tops out as a Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. I would have no problem trading down to get a couple top D. ie. 1st OA to Mon for their 7th 25th and our own 2025 1sr

How do you say a loss tonight against ARI tonight would be great !! without saying a loss tonight would be great?

Looks like we will be in the Yakemchuk or TJ range just like I was hoping a month ago.

Instead of trading decent players to get picks I would be more inclined to trade the Van 1st for a decent player. No coin flip on the pick, you get what you pay for. ARI is desperate for 1st round picks and I would be inquiring on how many of their 2nd rounders (they have 10 in the next 3 years) they would be willing to trade for the Van 1st. We could then trade the acquired 2nd rounders and cap space for positional needs in our organization. On a limited view I trust Conroy more on trades than draft choices.

I didn't realize Celebrini was a franchise changer

So let's say the hockey gods shine down on us and the Flames win 1st OA. The question is are we ready to put Celebrini into the lineup full time next year. If so, Conroy will be out spending cap money like a drunken Notley on UFA's. If we don't play Celebrini 1st year he will be gone first chance. If we do win 1st OA that would push SJ or CHI to 3rd or 4th. Would then a trade with SJ for their 3rd and Pitts 1st 15 OA or Chi 4th OA plus TB 1st 21st OA + a 2nd be a better long term play, Tough to trade an elite 1st OA but throwing these 1st OA players out 1st year has shown consistently over the last few years injuries to these players.

Unfortunately I made the connection!! But then again I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night and while going to my room in the elevator was forced to watch Don Lemon.

Looks like we will have some decent d falling to our Van 1st

Every time I get close in points to Rocket he seems to catapult to a big lead. If I would have stuck with just 2 or 3 trades after the draft this year i would probably be leading. But what fun is that, I enjoy moving players in and out of my lineup. Gives me my own little game within a game. I would be proud to come in second to Rocket but will be giving it my damnest till the end of the season.

A lot of boys named sue

2017/18 Vegas Golden Knights. No elite players on their roster castoffs mostly. Elite coaching that put good players in positions to maximize their strengths. "Just sayin"

Would do the "Andersson possible 9/10th overall pick." (not holding my breath) Trust our scouts. Andersson was 53rd OA I'm pretty sure there is more Andersson's in the 2024 2nd round. Late 1st rounders (Van) are shiny toys and ours could be traded for minimum a couple 2nd rounders.

Sorry a downer here!!! I don't see ANYONE of our players worth a trade for a top 10 2024 pick.

From past experience we know the Flames will go on a tear their last 9 games. Which will put us in the 12th - 14th pick. Hoping for a good D prospect at this range that would take a couple years to graduate to the pros. Timing would be good with a new arena and progress of the retool. Most likely the Van 1st will be a 28th to 30th pick. Hoping to get an overlooked C prospect could start in the A.

Next couple days I could elevate to striking of your lead. Will see though. Trying to make it a photo finish.

Friday 29th Buf vs NJD Would be helpful to see Buf win tonight in OT.

I think we should and could trade our Van 1st for a couple prospects. A proven commodity unlike the Van 1st.

It feels weird cheering for Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Montreal, Ottawa, and Arizona.

You bet!! Get that paperwork signed and yell "start the car"!!!

Long ways to go to catch up but your team injuries have helped my climb

All the talk about trading up in this draft. I just don't see the point or the price paid for it. That said why don't we take our Van 1st and trade down to Arizona which has 10 2nd rounders in the next 3 drafts. a 3rd rounder ( try and squeeze a 2nd) in 2024 a 2nd round in 2025 and a 2nd round in 2026.

Yes would love to see Edm out the first round of the playoffs. As it sits they would be up against LA which I think they would easily take. My preference would be VGK's take out Edm first round.

Vladar out for season with hip surgery.
