Can't do much without moving any of the big contracts.

Yep ... we have the same problem in Montreal, bad contracts are tying HuGo's hands. Many other teams also have the same problem ... gridlock.

When most trades now are just to eat bad salary...

I hope we see a decent cap jump next year

He's not lasting the contract there
- mr.peanut

so it was just a question of getting the (frank) out of CGY as quickly as possible...? the situation must've been pretty bad for him to want to leave so urgently.

and according to his new contract he'll have to wait until 2026 to submit a 10-team trade list, so for now he won't have a say on the destination if he requests a trade.

Or maybe GM's need to learn to work within a defined budget instead of spending like drunken sailors.

They can't keep raising ticket prices forever, inflation is already hurting fans in their day to day life. The first thing to go will be their discretionary spending.

I think family tbh. Had his best year by far under sutter, so i doubt it's coaching

Nit a great return to say the least, but there was next to no market for Petry…
