The last time we were favored in pre season rankings thanks to league topping D, we missed the playoffs.

I'm talking about when we first signed Hamilton, the year after kicking the Canucks out round 1. The media had as pegged for best D in the league.

when Hamilton first started he was so bad then go into the grove. if hamonic plays bad with tj he can always play with stone as they paired good last seaon

Flames could have interest in Jagr: report
NHLGulutzan as coach likely part of equation
That would be awesome. but does he still have it?
Taking Foo spot?
Jagr signing with Flames is picking up traction. One of my all-time faves.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I think Foo will be spending majority of his time in the AHL this season.
Jagr has proven that he still has it... This would be awesome!!! As long as the price is right...
yah Jagr still clearly has it, hopefully not for too much money. Would be nice for flames to have some flexibility if they make an okay run and need a higher priced rental etc.
Still no updated on Bennetts contract tho... curious what is going on there. Hopefully Foo cracks roster this year and continues his play from NCAA, otherwise they are looking short on Forward. Granted Jankowski must be getting close to the point of needing to make it or being forever stuck down
I think $1mm a year for Jags with performance bonuses up to max of around $3.5 would make sense. Easier to manipulate cap space with bonuses as well, as opposed to a straight up $3.5mm contract. Curious to see how much space we have left after the rest of the lose ends are tied up.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I don't think we have enough cap space to do 3.5m straight up. If that 3.7m rumor is accurate, I'd bet it would be around 2m salary + 1.7m bonuses.

Holy Ken King Bombshell. anyone else following?

The timing of it is interesting, as well as the rumors. Is the team moving? Will we ever see a new arena? Discuss.
It is in response of Nenshi's election platform yesterday. Probably a big f u to turfing the West village plan and open up a position for a pro unlimited tax dollor for arena mayoral candidate.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Just Nenshi being Nenshi.
Now he is gonna find a way to make a deal, and then proclaim himself as the team's saviour. Election is like 6 weeks away. Could you imagine the uproar that would be caused if the flames announced they were leaving? Nenshi would be out of office so fast dodging bullets. Only safe place for him would be in Columbia where no one cares about hockey.

They will end up playing in a new arena somewhere. Probably Quebec city.
