The last negotiation with him was difficult and I could be wrong, but I believe that his agent is on the record as saying that his recommendation for Mangiapane is to accept his QO and go to free agency next year. The deadline for players to accept their QO is July 22nd, so next Friday. So we should get some clarity by next week. Boy, I hope it's not a Gaudreau situation all over again where both players take a one year deal at the 11th hour to screw BT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouCifer Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 13 hours ago, JTech780 said: I wonder if Tre looks at trading for Dvorak. Mostly in an effort to bring in guys that Tkachuk knows and has played with to keep him around. I also think Tre has looked at Dvorak before, so it would make sense. Montreal needs to clear some cap, and they have Suzuki and Dach down the middle now. I’ve been thinking about Dvorak as well actually. Only because he may be an available C that has a higher ceiling than what he’s shown and like you said they now have Suzuki and Dach. What would MTL want in return?

cross16 Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 Another RFA deadline to keep in mind. all 3 of the Flames primary RFAs have arb rights as to a few of their minor league players (Phillips mainly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andersson and Hanifin were acceptable, but Klingberg is better in that regard. Plus anytime you can get a RHS D without giving up assets it is a win.

Most have moved on. I accept the fact that he may have wanted to move for personal reasons. There's nothing he can say that really changes how the negotiations played out.

cross16 Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 A lot of offence can be created by D. A few skills that are lacking from the Flames D core is carrying the puck in transition, getting good quality pucks to the net and their PP lacks a true QB. Klingberg is high end in all of those categories so he checks quite a few boxes. He isn't very good in his own zone but the Flames could pair him with Tanev or Zadorov to mitigate that. Having said that i'm pretty skeptical there is something here. Coleman is from Texas so not surprising he'd follow a Star and the rest are Swedes. I'm not sure the Flames can afford to pay him what he might get so i'm skeptical there is much to this, even though I do think the Flames want to get a puck moving dman. As much as we focus on Johnny's offence and the hole he left there what should be more concerning to the Flames is his transition ability. Now he's one of the best in the league at it so you aren't going to replace it, but I'm more concerned about their transition ability and rush offence he is leaving behind than I am the points/goals.

JTech780 Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 One of the biggest impacts of Gaudreau leaving is going to be his ability to carry the puck through the neutral zone and gaining the offensive zone, especially on the PP. That’s a skill that is very much lacking on the team right now. So going after Klingberg would make a lot of sense. I am not a huge fan of Klingberg, but I definitely see where he would make a big impact on this team and especially offensively. Of the remaining free agents he might have be the player that would make the biggest impact offensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robrob74 Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 I don’t care that Gaudreau wanted out. Good on him to be where he wants. I just think he could have let the team know in advance and let them plan at the draft. Maybe the Flames don’t trade Tkachuk at the draft anyway. But maybe he lets them know and a team trades for his rights earlier. I like Johnny. Not mad at him, just upset management didn’t trade him a year or two ago when they could’ve gotten value. Eric Francis, ThePeople, JJ, maybe Lou and I would’ve done it then. that’s it for me. I dont need to dwell anymore. Surprised by Klingberg signing with the Flames. I thought he had lost all of his love for us in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTech780 Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 I still like Martin Necas as a target, but another guy who might make sense is Nicolas Roy, he put up 39 points last year, 6’4” RHS C/RW. Vegas doesn’t have the cap space to bring him back, we could use the size and depth down the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thebrewcrew Posted July 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 Klingberg makes sense if the ask decreases. It would make the blueline look quite deep. The biggest organizational weakness for the Flames is RHD depth, so if they did sign Klingberg, it kicks that can further down the road. I think Kadri is unlikely. He likely wants to return to Denver. If that falls through, maybe he considers Calgary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
