There was tons of public speculation and rumour that his re-signing was tied to the "C" I'm not even sure if that was driven by him. Seems like all of his teammates wanted him to be the C. Virtually all of them said he was the de facto captain. I know I'm taking liberties with that, but mainly accurate.lol I wasn't much of a fan of re-signing him, because I didn't think 2 years for $9mil was in the realm of possibility. That's tidy af, I don't know Satoshi Nakamoto! Heck, if he's still effective at 37, extend him yearly from there if he likes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I didn't think they could open up contracts once signed. Not for an expiring one. It's not a big deal for me, but for him it means he doesn't get traded. Had a M-NTC, but this solidifies his situation. Family comes first before cup chasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say, it's a good contract. You don't get many 2-way C's with that level of play for 4.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebrewcrew Posted September 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 Fun game in Winnipeg. Wolf didn’t face many shots, but he was sure solid in the 3rd and OT. 3/3 in the shootout too. Zary with a nice little curl and drag to tie it in the 3rd.

conundrumed Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 Parker Bell sent to the Wranglers, I was hoping for that. Along with Stromgren, Sutter and Gourley. Morin back to jr and Diotte released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robrob74 Posted October 1, 2023 Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 I think it's concerning there isn't a lot of buzz around the team. But I'm basing it off the chatter in here. It is where I come for flames news now because I prefer the take in here over the media opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think that some of it has to do with the passing of Chris Snow. It's a heavy camp this year. Love. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebrewcrew Posted October 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 Looking at Twitter, looks as though Rooney was injured in practice today. Dryden Hunt might be the favourite to win a job, if Rooney is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully something from nothing. At Dubas' expense would make it even funnier. God knows he's a wunderkind according to too many hockey analysts. Has no one been to SSM?

JTech780 Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 Ottawa is putting Bernard-Docker and Sokolov on waivers tomorrow. Sokolov is interesting, 6’5” RHS winger, 59 points in the AHL last year, 23 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sokolov is interesting, 6’5” RHS winger, 59 points in the AHL last year, 23 years old. A RHS LW......Interesting. Honestly, all I know is his stats, never seen him play. He would be a cheap add, but I'm not sure if he would fit. Looking at the locks to be on the roster: Hubey, Lindy, Govich, Kadri, Dube, Mange, Backlund, Coleman Has looked like they belong: Ruzicka, Coronato A bit up and down: Duehr, Hunt, Rooney IMHO, likely get sent down to junior or AHL: Honzek, Zary, Schwindt, Pettersen, Klapka, Ciona, Jones*, Bishop* * waived today All that said, you could claim him now and if he fits, you have a 13th F. Otherwise waive him again. Low risk, but I doubt we make the move. Also, others may be better to target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebrewcrew Posted October 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 this is cool for Phillips. He’s had a good camp. I remember Austin Czarnik scoring a hat trick in the preseason. Some thought the Flames had the next Marchessault. I hope Phillips gets a shot, but I don’t know if his ceiling is much more than a Czarnik/Gerbe. You have to be really, really special to be an effective NHLer at that height and weight 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be pure fire and brimstone from fans.lol That's a close to full team roster from Washington. Would Phillips still clear waivers with his solid camp?

I don't think they actually need to waive him. If they do, there are a lot of NHL teams in the same boat so the wire will be busy as teams pare down their rosters.

travel_dude Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 Could be an interesting game tonight. A mostly AHL team vs the Oilers A team (mostly). They are still trying out Lavoie, Malone plus trying to see what they have in Erne and Pederson : I don't really care about the end result. Score a bunch on Skinner. Sew the seeds of doubt in their goalies (again). Big test for Poirier and Solovyov. Zadorov should have some fun targeting Oilers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-season games seem to be s game of bait and switch. You play at home against a rival, they send the B squad. You play on the road, you send a C squad. Don't want to expose any change in your game plan and barely want the other team to see your starter. It's juice top the home fans, so they will spend stupid money on Oilers merch. Here comes the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
