Fleury would have been better for the Flames than Mike Smith. He's going to be the face of the Knights though so it worked out for him I guess.
If Leblubber, Simmons and Wyshitsky were in a no-holds-barred fight to the death, the real winner would be the hockey public in the end.
I guess I'm just thinking that every single site that I read (sports or otherwise) has a writer or two that I don't like and I don't see how Lebrun writing for The Athletic will be any different than those.
Meh, I associate sites with their content producers.
It’s hard to criticize a guy who has won 3 Cups as a GM including the last two and done so by making some rather bold moves in the trade market but you gotta think whatever Calgary were offering had to have been better than what the Pens ended up having to do to keep Vegas away from Murray.The Penguins must have been asking a heavy price at the time...
NEW YORK – Marc-Andre Fleury can admit now he was preparing for the possibility of becoming a Calgary Flame.
He’ll even go as far as to say that had Pittsburgh Penguins GM Jim Rutherford crafted a deal to send Fleury to the Flames at last season’s trade deadline, the 32-year-old goaltender would likely have waived the no-trade clause he has in his contract.
“I think so,” said Fleury while in New York for league meetings.
“I think Calgary is a great town and a great hockey team too. I think they’ll be very good again this year. But here I am.”
I think that everyone kind of does, no? But there's an old saying about spoiled apples that I think seems appropriate here It's not like they put Lebrun in charge of the entire operation and its content.

Without a doubt, but just as easily could’ve dealt him after the season and gotten something for him from Calgary.Flags fly forever though. They won last year with MAF playing a significant role, and that's probably worth more than the difference in the trade returns.
Rare it is but I thought for sure we’d see one or two OS’ thrown around this summer.Hey, maybe Hall would settle for David Pastrnak if Ray Shero decided to toss in an offer sheet? Different players and positions I realize, but he would be a nice add.
Report: David Pastrnak could play in KHL next season
What's hilarious about this is that I realized shortly after typing it that I actually remembered the idiom backwards. But I like the way that the Jackson 5 taught it to me rather than the way it is
Expansion 2.0?
Well this is awkward - Presser cancelled due to the following:
Seattle Mayor Ed Murray resigns after latest child sex-abuse allegation - CNN
What this means as far as the proposed Key Arena renovation is anyone's guess.
He sounded like a pretty good mayor... I mean, aside from the child-fucking.Well this is awkward - Presser cancelled due to the following:
