Massive upgrade imho, and I am not a Hamilton fan boy. He is flawed but exceptional. Is it enough to change our course? Nah he is entering his 30s. I don't think it is likely but who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 It's strangely quiet in Flames-land. Our needs are as strong as any team's. Does that point to work being done on just trades? There are a few FA's I would be looking at and not just trading assets to build a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTech780 Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 I like Coleman a lot, but he screams overpay IMO. A little scary to think what he might get 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Some unsubstanciated stuff today. Garrioch saying we are pusjing for Coleman (TBL can sign him probably). Gaudreau part of deal for Eichel (not much to support that). Vegas signed Martinez, so I don't see thm pushing for Eichel without losing more salary.

ABC923 Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 If we sign gudbranson, I may puke. Just in the middle of my day, not knowing anything has happened, I may just vomit spontaneously as the ink is drying on the paper before the announcement is even made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but he’s gonna be mid 30’s and 30 in 2 years, there are better options for the near and far term (mostly by trade, if we can swing them) than could land a mid 20’s guy to carry you forward kinda like Hanifin or like Hamilton back when we first got him…those types…. having said that, we kinda have a split core with Monahan, gaudreau in the same age range as Hamilton so he’s a fit if we keep them or…if we go to our younger core in Anderson, Valimaki and Tkacuck he’s not the best fit…that’s the tricky part, but if they decide to stay with Monahan and Gaudreau, Haamilton fits very well and he’s probably as good or better trade value than Gaudreau so in many ways he would make a ton of sense…hard to say it would totally depend on the plan of Mgt (if any) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 If Chicago signs McCabe today, it could make Zadorov available. He would be a solid option for the Flames. Brandon Sutter on the right deal would be a solid add for the 4th line. Ondrej Kase could be a good buy low candidate. Tucker Poolman would be solid add for the 3rd pairing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A far cry from Gio's 38. Not much chance, so I'm not really considering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer McCabe, but Zadorov is a type we could use. Ritxhie and Poolman have family connections. If anything, I hope that some teams overpay and re forced to make cap deals. PITTS sounds like they want to get rid of Zucker and Pettersson. I'm not sure about Petterson, but would it make sense for Lucic trade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where Nick Ritchie would fit in our lineup, but I do get the sense that we are going to look to get bigger and harder to play against.

And this is another thing BT may be being tactical here and letting other teams over pay them be forced to trade players to fit the cap…that’s not a bad move either, it could actually be the best route?

There is some trade talk between CAL and CHI re Zadorov, so the McCabe thing may be done. Well, at 10am that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a LW, he would make some sense if we were trading Lucic. But, I would prefer to have a higher skill than a higher grit level. Suter is going to take his time, with so many teams showing interest. As far as the Pacific, I hope that the Oilers blow all their cap on longer deals. Hyman and Barrie. Take a few risky deals like Turris was last year.
