Good bye Backlund, Lindholm and Loooooooch

I get the feeling Looooch wants to stay. Maybe if we were close to an offer elsewhere he would stay.

That offer should be <1 mil LOL but I do like having a guy on the bench that the league fears. My inner goon is coming out.

He's flat out fucking bad, even at league minimum I wouldn't want him back on the team as much as I like the dude.

I'm waiting to see if some time away from the team and time for heads to cool brings any of the 1 year remaining guys around in attitude.

Otherwise if it is a Sutter problem or they don't think we have a chance for a cup run, then start trading them.

[ExtraSlow]

Lucic might be able to get league min contract, but that's a coin flip at this point. The on ice product is marginal.

anyone following all the quotes from the players year end meeting with some reporter. Seems pretty bad... interesting quote from one player who had lots of praise and mentioned clearly he wanted back while others said as little as possible.

Don’t read too much into it. Any player entering their last year will always stfu for contract extension talks. “I love this city and want to keep playing for this team” is like a 20% contract discount.

Lucic is useless and was a major liability in the second half of the season.

Lucic was useless the last couple of years in Edmonton before Calgary took him in. Frosted tips or not, he’s too old. Bye now.

There goes Treliving, andddddddddddddddd we're off

The Flames have one of the worst ownership groups in the NHL. There are worse, I'm sure...but not many. Who cares who is GM or coach or whatever.

I'm gunna have to take a wild guess and say that most of the Flames fan base cares.

Tre gone.

If I had to pick one of Tre and Sutter, it wouldn't be Sutter

Maybe we can get dubas when the Leafs fizzle out in the first round again? /s (but not really?)
I think we are in for some MAJOR changes this summer. Tre is just the first.

As far as Looch goes, I really like him despite how slow he's gotten. At a league minimum I would be pumped to have him around. That being said, I don't think his wife likes it here too much so if he's going to play anywhere it will likely be in Boston or I bet he retires.

[SilverRex]

saying goes, the new wont come until the old is gone' so the beginning of a new era

Flames doing Flames things.

Owner picks coach over the GM... and all the players hate the coach.

Got it. Cool.

If and when a new GM comes in, wont he have the ability to let Sutter go? After all, with Trev leaving, it wasnt like they clean house and fire him, they are just not going to renew his contract.

Typically yes. But in this case.... NOT A CHANCE IN HELL. Maloney has been tied to Trelivings hip the last 15 years.... shit ain't changing. I'd bet its the same old shit next season.

[Quizzes]

Congrats to Brad Treliving and his family! Maybe this summer he'll finally be able to enjoy a vacation.
Also, thanks for leaving a couple of anchor contracts for the new GM to deal with. LOL

Let me rephrase:. It doesn't matter who the coach and gm are

As a leafs fan I know this comment all too well.
