It especially hurts because both menno and I know that if the Flames had played this properly and Treliving/ownership weren't complete idiots, they would have realized their tiny window just slammed shut when they lost two 100 point wingers within a couple of weeks of each other... sold Weegar/Huberdeau/anyone with value at last year's trade deadline for a boatload of picks heading into a strong draft class and actually re-tooled for a few years and come out the other side stronger.

Instead, NOW, I think the Flames are going to re-sign Lindholm to Darnell Nurse money/term and in 5 years the Flames will be paying $26+ million to three forwards that are aged 38, 35, and 33.... just in time for a new building!

I don't think they even sold out the home opener.

Sounds like they did the right thing!!!

I don't think Ovi will play past this contract so if he doesn't hit 30 this year, he isn't gonna break the record.

Short of him being physically incapable of continuing to play, I don't see any universe where he retires prior to breaking the record. He's 73 back, assuming he's good for 20ish per year from here on out he'll likely just keep plugging away until he gets then there immediately retire.

If he scores in the 20s this year I'm not sure he's scoring 20 in 4 years.

Jack Campbell was rockin last night.

Leon set the Oilers record for PP goals.

Foegele looks like an actual top 6 forward.

McDavid scored another absurd goal.

Nuge looks like 100 wasn't a fluke driving a line.

Oilers are back, baby.

He is good but this is insanity. McDavid is just as good and Crosby is still king in that arena. Kucherov and Marner are at least as good at playmaking as Draisaitl. Makar and Fox also have amazing vision.

Well Leon has been voted best passer in the NHLPA player poll 2 straight years and NHL players have proven over and over that they are very smart with great opinions.

I'm sorry the Philadelphia Flyers shut McDavid and Draisaitl down?

They trapped the hell outta the Oilers and the Oilers just couldn't do anything. They had some momentum in the second and looked like they might tie it then Campbell let in a stinker for a Flyers' shortie and that was it.

Structurally the Flyers looked like a team that knows how to play defence really well though.

The man lost two hundred point scorers within a week and decided not to start a rebuild. Their best remaining players at the time were Elias Lindholm and Michael Backlund. Who cares about them? The Flames didn't owe them another shot at the playoffs or anything. It was such an obvious point to initiate a hard rebuild with Bedard as the prize and instead they decided to make that all but impossible for seven more years.

I don't think that was Treliving. That's fully on ownership refusing to be dogshit until the new arena was funded. It's the same reason they wouldn't buy out James Neal and why Treliving left.

It was alright on paper, but boy it should've been a futures deal not a trade for rapidly aging veterans. Plus I am never a fan of signing a guy to a huge extension before they play a game for you. See if there's a fit first because you lash yourself to a guy. Other than "maybe he'll leave too" was their any risk to seeing how the season played out before signing him? I don't think there was any chance he'd get paid more than he was even if he put up another 100pt season.

Because the owner told him to

Yeah he's just completely average at everything, it's almost remarkable how unremarkable his game is... but 600+ games and only 26 years old, veteran leadership baby!

Well Friedman has been pounding the "Hanifin will be signed any day now" drum.





Also Bouchard hasn't been great but Ekholm is playing hurt and like poo poo and has been the bigger issue on their pairing.

This is a team that couldn't figure out swarm defence which boils down to a slightly more nuanced "everyone rush the guy with the puck." So yeah, this might as well be quantum physics for some of them.
