If we could get rid of 2-3 posters it would clean things up nicely.

I think what will eventually happen is you will see the good regular posters drop off.

What a Sh*t Show this thread is.

There will be again once we begin ascending

Wrong, evidently you don't get it.

I could ban myself for another 4 month run if that's helps?

Nah don't worry, I won't go anywhere.

BB JV OJ Demko Brisebois in the pipeline is something we have never known.
Add Gaudette a sophmore & Lockwood a freshman.
Others like Olsen & Tate r a couple other D doing fine.

Thats interesting stuff futurewise.

Just noticed both Flames goalies r UFA's.
So they have to trade or sign 2 just to meet expansion draft requirements

McCollum, Tom qualifies he's under contract until 2018. Or they can sign one of the two prior to expansion to expose instead. I don't think Flames have issues there.

I'd love a six month ban.

Not quite. But Flames are one of teams with no extra goalie to qualify. Here's the list of teams with the Flames issue of not having a extra goalie to qualify. They would have to sign somebody. Or expose McCollum.

Calgary Flames – McCollum (UFA 2018), Elliott (UFA 2017), Johnson (UFA 2017)

Blue Jackets – Bobrovsky *NMC* (UFA 2019), Dansk (RFA 2017), Koriasalo (RFA 2017), Forsberg (RFA 2017), McElhinney (UFA 2017)
Minnesota Wild – Dubnyk (UFA 2021), Keumper (UFA 2017), Stalock (UFA 2017)
Nashville Predators – Rinne *NMC* (UFA 2019), Mazanec (RFA 2017)
New Jersey Devils – Schneider (UFA 2022), Wedgewood (RFA 2017), Kinkaid (UFA 2017)
NYI as well. With Halak and Berube.

Calgary could opt to expose McCollum without re-signing either pending UFA. They do have 22-year-old goalie Jon Gilles, who is exempt, that could make the NHL roster next season. The Flames would however risk entering free agency with a 22-year-old as their only contracted goalie

I retracted my statement quick draw. See corrected post 👆🏼. Nighthawk was right to laugh at Flames.
- Nuck4U

Not exactly laughing simply not all that impressed by them.
The Jets r very underwhelming.
TBL a seriously poor season.

NO. Just comparing flames fans.
- Scooby_Doo

I can live with that.

They can expose McCollum ...and protect whoever they have as a goalie for next year ...I'm not worried at all
