@noahadler1999@CofRedCentral When’s the last time a 35 year old winger got traded for a 1st? Even Marchand who is better than Coleman ever will be got traded for a conditional 1st
@hockeymaniac88@kb1999buf@PierreVLeBrun “Never said they’re the same tier” right after defending Larkin’s production against a 2x Selke + Cup winner 😭😭 did you have a stroke halfway through typing that up you stupid frog
@CofRedCentral@HereisLogan1 It is. But you’re just looking for something to be mad about on every pick it seems. We’ve got Joe Iggy now so hopefully you’ll like that hah
@CofRedCentral@HereisLogan1 You didn’t know who Viggo Bjorck was until a month ago. You are not the draft guy and you don’t need to have an opinion on every pick. Just relax it’s gonna be okay 😂
@hockeyprice@nitwitschool Exactly. Or maybe they like Zayne coming off the left side. It opens up angles for his shot and I don’t think he will have a problem dealing with puck retrievals on his backhand either
@CofRedCentral I won't be upset with Bjorck, but Carels is a great fit. Unfortunately, we aren't going to get any lottery luck so are gonna have to build slowly and sustainably. Carels fills a long term hole and if we take him, we basically dont have to address D for a long time.
@CGYFlame1@CofRedCentral@FridgeHN1C@miketgould Absolutely there are no guarantees about top 5 next year. It's frustrating to be a fan of this team but if at the start of the year you were told we would trade Naz, Weeg and Ras and then finish 29th, I think alot of people would take that as a good direction for the team.
@CGYFlame1@CofRedCentral@FridgeHN1C@miketgould I'm speculating on Frost, but he's in his prime and we are rebuilding. It's not a match on paper and I think he will be looking for term. Conroy has shown no inclination to sign these types of players to long term deals. Given what centers go for at tdl, I don't see how he stays
@CGYFlame1@CofRedCentral@FridgeHN1C@miketgould Backs 1 year older. Coleman, strome and Frost likely moved at some point. The young players should be better, but there is no reason to think we won’t be picking top 5-10 for the foreseeable future. Plenty of opportunity to get a franchise C in coming years
@LilMoserGaming Same thing happened in 2013.
Flames traded Iggy and j bouw at the deadline and were ready to be in the hunt for Mackinnon but went on a run and instead ended up with Monahan. But dw, Eric Francis says this is good for the culture or something
@BLBReid@johnw_bender This is the hilarious thing. Some people act as though we have just torn down a contending team. We haven’t made the playoffs for 4 years and have gotten out of the 1st round twice in 20 years. The next few years will be tough but brighter days are ahead
@YaBoyScooter@CofRedCentral The Weegar trade should kill any notion that we aren’t leaning into this rebuild enough. Conroy has shown he will pull the trigger on any move as long as our price is met. If Naz and Blake don’t move, then other teams haven’t met our valuation and I have no issue w that
