2 x3.75 on Zadorov ? That okay. Doesn't bring much offense but he's big and can skate and likes to hit.

Kylington will need to have a bigger role this year. Otherwise good money for a 5.

some claiming one person in CGY was either hated by JG or other way around, people joking it's Conroy because he talks too much lmao..

I am hoping Valimaki takes a step forward. Shame what happened to that kid.

^claims JG contacted CLB.. wtf..

someone on another board claimed to have a source, who claimed that JG complained about being treated bad for 2 years or the past two years (I could see how putting him on a line with Lucic was sketchy, separating him from Monahan) - fits with my character issue theory, we might have said good bye to a locker room problem

Another person claimed to be friends with a former manager at national on 10th - and claimed JG and Monahan spent a lot of time there 2016-18 - so wife driven decision?

Murry Edwards supposedly personally offered JG 10.5x8

" I agree, my source is friends with him and Hanifin and that’s what Gaudreau last said to him. Who knows though. "

I drove through Colombus on a trip to Kentucky. It's a poop hole.

Every president election i hear Ohio is a swingER state... btw. congrats for resigning Zadorov.

With Tkachuk likely leaving in a year as well, it's time to be rational and aim for a quick 2-3 years rebuild. We have the pieces to do it.

Send Tkachuk and Tanev to NJ for Bernier (cap dump), Johnsson (cap dump), Mercer, Nemec and their 2023 1rst round pick (unprotected).

Lindholm has perhaps the best non-entry value contract in the NHL (2 more years at less than 5M, can you believe it). Any contender would empty the farm to have him. Problem for Calgary is, he will likely cost 7-8M when he'll be up for his new contract.

Send Lindholm to NYR (50% retained) to play RW on the Panarin/Trocheck and get Reaves (cap dump), Kakko, Ohtmann and their 2023 1rst round pick (unprotected).

You keep Hanifin and Andersson as they're still young, under contract and will likely not break the bank on their next one.

You just added Mercer, Kakko and Othmann to Zary and Pelletier up front for prospect depth, and Nemec to an already young up and coming d-corps.

You've also got 3 1rst round picks in a strong draft, with a slim chance at drafting Connor Bedard.

You suck in 2023, 2024, but might very well be a force to reckon with from 2025-2030.

Yeah, I'm likely dreaming, I know. But I had been strongly advocating a rebuild 2 years ago when JG still had 2 years and Monahan was still an asset with value. Now I just feel we're in the same spot, but without less tools.

Thats pretty gross. Johnny played Treliving. Treliving is a horrible poker player & couldnt get a proper read if it hit him in the face & if Mangi & Tkachuk dont extend longer than the 1 year qualifying offers then trade their a$$es out of town..stat.
Cant take a rinse & repeat on two more stars after this fiasco.

The border issue makes it twice as hard as it used to be to keep American born players. Hope he stays, Toronto deserves a Cup, but it is a real issue.
- FLflames34

The border issue will be less and less of an issue going forward. Within 1 year people will be travelling freely, jabbed or not.

I know what it’s called and I don’t give a (frank) because it doesn’t matter. I spend a ton of time there. If you draw a line down the middle of the country; it’s in the east. He wanted to be on the US side of the border closer to family. Now he is.

With Z signed we now have 9 D who must clear waivers to be sent down and they all have guaranteed NHL $ so were set with 7 D until Tanev gets back.

I can see that changing before training camp.

Lots of work to do.

Great keeping Zadorov. Impressed by the guy in the playoffs. Very reasonable number for what he brings

Cut loses with Tkachuk and retool. Not sure Mange will be looking to walk.

Agree to disagree. Trudeau is still PM. Many can't cross the border to see their family. Apparently, JG's family were part of this.

Lindholm. I think Back’s will get traded.

Retain some salary and get a good return. A lot of teams that need center depth for playoffs.
