Darryl Sutter death watch

It's time?

No chancey Mr. Whelan.

Calgary averages the 4th most shots per game and the 6th fewest shots against per game but are 25th in goals for and mid-table in goals against.

A lot of it is puck luck. That usually changes over the course of the season.

The only thing that bugs me is Sutter's insistence on playing skilled guys with 4th line guys. Also, if Marky can get back to making a big save and stop allowing softies, that would be great.

/Lucic needs to retire as well or take a permanent seat in popcorn row, he can't keep up with the play and he hems him teammates in the defensive zone whenever he's on the ice.

I honestly thought he did retire already

There was talk about it happening in the off-season. He's only got one year remaining on his contract and this will be his last season in the NHL

Just think if you would have traded for Louie he'd already be outta the league and off your books and we probably wouldn't have traded for OEL

Also, there are some guys in the AHL putting up some pretty good numbers, maybe it's time for a call-up or two?

He has a ten team trade list, I doubt Chicago's on it but if they are the Flames should just throw everything and the kitchen sink at them to get Kane and dump Lucic on them.

Probably going to be in on Meier from SJ, too.

Yeah, this is the season to either go for it or go for Bedard and the Flames in my opinion can't out suck the Ducks, Coyotes, Hawks etc. Get busy Brad lol

I don't have a sub but if Kane wants to remain long-term with the Hawks and isn't delusional about near-term prospects of success for the franchise isn't his best contribution to the team to accept a trade for assets then re-sign for a team-friendly contract in the off-season?

@Judge Fudge approves...

Dutter's deployment of players is deplorable.

 

[KennyBanyeah]

I'd stay away from Kane. His production is way down now that he's away from Debrincat.

It's just another year that the Flames find themselves wandering in the wasteland of not being bad enough to get a much needed high draft pick and not being good enough to make any noise in the playoffs.

Kadri spent most of last season on a line with Burakovsky and Nichushkin and Kadri's the only one of those three who isn't producing higher than they did last season. Skating on a line with Lucic isn't helping anything here but they were probably hoping he wouldn't completely regress to his career averages.

Also, Blake Coleman's contract already looks kinda shitty doesn't it. Combine it with Eatbread and that's $10.7 mil/yr for a combined 70 pt pace. Oilers are getting that production and good two-way play out of Hyman for half that.

Can't disagree with any of that - Mangi got his dough and has been loafing around this season.

You spelled Miller wrong lol

I don't know who is on the worse trajectory Canucks or Flames
