Burns is too old. Are we expecting this to be a one year turn around. I think it's still gonna take a couple years to be where we want.
- Lemmewinks

If 1 year of Burns took you from bottom 5, to say bottom 12, I think the turn around would jump by a lot. Right now breaking the "losing culture " would be huge for everybody from the fans to the players and management.

Brodie's injury and Wideman's suspension sure didn't help them this year either.
- Lemmewinks

Wideman was there all year with them in the basement and Brodie was only out 9 games. How many man games do we have lost this year?

Think of the difference Burns could make on our PP alone....now do you want Trouba or Hamonic?

Hamonic. Not as dynamic and not as high of an upside, but signed to a great deal and a steady guy. Every team needs those kind.

I'd take Hamonic just for that beauty of a contract over Trouba.

Not comparing. The Oil have been (frank)ed on the injury front for the last few years. Just pointing out a couple things that have contributed to the Flames woes this year. I personally think neither team should be where they are in the standings.

I don't know what's so complicated about it? They have terrible goaltending, and not a lot of fire power up front minus a couple of guys. Deal from a position of strength to shore up a position of weakness, just like we need to do.
- Iloveeveryone

I meant for us it's more complicated than just defence and size
It goes back to mistakes from the start imo


So you're agreeing that it's not on the defence for them ?Then why did u say "if they have 2-#1s - why are they bad ?
You essentially just answered your own question. Somewhat anyway

I think you kinda lost the whole point of original contention about Brodie

Whatever. Agree to disagree

That was a nice 24 hour vacation... all because I said Bo Horvat sucks defensively and can't score.

That mod (Makita) in the Vancouver thread is appropriately named...
