[Retroram52]

Me too lasgop8. I love for Torts to prove me wrong!!

Don't know what to think at this point. Nice to see G signing with Ottawa, though.

Who knew we had 800K to sign anyone.

First Gaudreau, now Tkachuk? Another star is poised to leave Flames

Less than a week after losing Johnny Gaudreau, the Calgary Flames now very much appear on the brink of having to part with Matthew Tkachuk. That’s the most reasonable way to interpret news late Monday that the Flames have filed to take Tkachuk to salary arbitration.

We need to figure out who to trade Calgary for this guy.

Start with TK, Prov/Sanheim and Frost and go from there.

Another pass from me, guy gets to emotionally distracted. That's a hard habit to break and you can see it has been ingrained in him since his youth. I would rather they spend money elsewhere. Just my humble opinion.

How upset must the Flames fans be.

Been to Calgary many times. Really great city between May and October.

I guess since it would cost us draft picks i wouldnt do it but if you add up the money between TK Prov and Frost its almost 13 million and he would sign for around 9 million so money wouldn't be the problem.

JVR for Thachuk straight up. Done deal.

Yea but even do, how beneficial is he to the team? I wanna start wrapping that money up in game changing players.

I'd do that, as long as that was the only cost.

Yeah who needs a guy who had 42 goals and 104 points hits everything that moves and will fight anyone and is only 24 and is 6'2" and 201 pounds . Oh an plus 57 was pretty good as well.

We don't. The only way they can have enough guys for opening night is to start Ellis on LTIR.

 

[lasgop8]

I wonder what we are going to do if he Ellis is playable? How are we ever going to get under the cap as we still have to pay McEwen and Tippet?

That is a good resume, but I also want to point out how his emotions cost his team a lot of goals. He was absolutely disastrous in the playoffs and cost his team not one but two of those games, 1 against Dallas and 1 against Edmonton. I guess at this point it wouldn't matter because he would just be a decent player on a below average team.

Is there really an advantage to signing McEwen? Well it does seem that it would fit the mold though.

 

[Chris p Bacon]

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for signing players who can help but we don't seem to be trending in the getting better mode, so until we're ready to bring a couple big changes, I don't think we're even close to that yet.

If guys costing us games with dumb penalties was a concern of ours we wouldn't have half our team from the last 10 years. Might as well have a 24 year old who is a big tough 40 goal scorer on our team.

Flyers should pursue Flames’ Matthew Tkachuk, but they probably won’t

If signing Johnny Gaudreau wasn’t worth the cost, trading for Matthew Tkachuk would be totally out of the question.

The Flyers should have done and should do a lot of things but probably won't because WTFC is hellbent on running this club into the ground and keeping it there. He doesn't know a good deal or player if they are staring him in the face. Clueless!

99.99999% sure Ellis will miss the start. If a miracle happens and he can play, then Farabee could go LTIR. If both guys are on the opening night roster, there could be $1.7 mill in cap space. 12 forwards, 7 dmen, 2 goalies (Sandstrom as the back up). If Brink starts in AHL, they have room for both MacEwen and Tippett.
