Calgary Flames MEGA THREAD 2012-2013 Edition

[JLau]

i think 4mil a yr is a bit too much for Hudler...

I think Jagr is still in the works

[rumeo]

With Jokinen gone, #13 frees up. Does Cammi switch back or stick with #93?

[Quizzes]

I don't think Jagr will ever be interested in playing out West, especially not a contender. Having him play for Calgary would be unreal though.

Hudler @ 4 Years, $16M > Parenteau @ 4 Years, $16M

dont we also have Roman Horak?

even with out Jargr we can still formulate 1 complete forward Czech line up

[JLau]

ya, we still have horak....jagr can really mentor those young czech players

[lasimmon]

As stated before I would assume Jagr is only interested in going to a contender.

Interested to hear what Suter and Parise decide.

Dallas is far from a contender I don't think anybody saw that coming, I also thought he would only go to a top-tier team

Yup, I am very surprised by that signing.

[wardpr68]

Does a top tier team REALLY want Jagr though? Not surprised he went to a middle of the pack team.

[cdnsir]

With Suter gone, would be nice if Det and Phi would take a chance at JBo.

[colinxx235]

Suter/Parise sold out hard for the $$

I wouldn't put the Wild anywhere near a contender...

[Kavy]

I dunno. Minny has a really nice lineup going into this season.

Parise, heatley, setoguchi, granlund, Cullen, brodziak, koivu and clutterbuck up front is scary. Throw in a great goalie in backstrom; if they are all there come the start of the season I can see them having a very strong year.


Wish they would have gone east.

this is the flames thread.

[supe]

I'm going to agree with Kavy, poor flames.

[sputnik]

There is always a chance that Suter and Parise could be the next JBo and Gomez.

[supe]

A little bit of a twitter war going on but according to one source, the wings are interested in j.bo

@HockeyyInsiderr
#RedWings in panic mode. Kicking gear on Carle making HUGE bid. Also in on Bouwmeester more than ever. Semin also targeted by Detroit.

Also of interesting note is that the wings haven't even hit the cap floor yet.

At which point the contract value of Bouwmeester is a positive thing.

[cdnsir]

Carle can be had for nothing, I'd expect Det to take him first. COME ON! would someone else please sign Carle before Det does!

The Flames have re-signed forwards Akim Aliu & Paul Byron!

CALGARY, AB -- The Calgary Flames announced today that they have signed forward Akim Aliu.

"Akim made tremendous strides in getting his career development path back on track this past season in Abbotsford and he was rewarded for his hard work by receiving an end-of-season recall to Calgary," said Flames General Manager Jay Feaster. "In his two games with our Club he showed that he is a very good skater, is willing to play a strong physical game and can also score goals at the NHL level. We really like the tools Akim possesses and the passion he brings to his game. We are confident that, given Akim’s talent and ability, along with his solid work ethic, if he also continues to believe in his coaches and our organizational commitment to him, he will soon realize his dream of becoming a full-time player in the NHL."

Aliu played in his first two NHL games this season, recording two goals and an assist. Born in Okene, Nigeria, Aliu recorded 10 goals and four assists for 14 points and 59 penalty minutes in 42 games with Abbotsford.

Contract terms: One-year two way contract with an AAV of $695,000 / $105,000.

CALGARY, AB -- The Calgary Flames announced today that they have signed forward Paul Byron.

"Paul was a very valuable depth player for us last season and had a solid playoff-run with Abbotsford," said General Manager Jay Feaster. "Paul looked right at home during his various recalls to Calgary and he demonstrated that he can score goals at the NHL level. He continues to knock on the door of becoming a full-time NHL player, and we are confident that given his commitment, dedication and solid work ethic he will take the steps necessary to make the jump to the next level."

Byron, a native of Ottawa, Ontario played 22 games with the Flames this season recording 3 goals and 2 assists. In another 39 games with the Heat, he had 7 goals and 14 assists along with 40 penalty minutes.
