Players meeting... I suspect someone or a few in the room said quit acting like a Richard and he did... thus the result.

Yes. One of the reasons I question the leadership of this group.

I hope Looch stays. I never thought I'd say that prior to this season but...
So who gets protected now?

lol Oiler fans spent thousands of hours on message boards telling us what a big factor this was in the deal

Turns out they had a verbal agreement before the trade was even made

Same story different player with the Flames either trading or giving up on. Brett Hull, Martin St. Louis..... the list can go on
- FlamesFan1230


St. Louis who past through waivers multiple times, 2 expansion drafts, ect.

Whole league past on him, hindsight


Bennett is the same player as always good and bad...hot streak on a new team is nothing new...Christ Neal was the NHL's leading goal scorer for a bit there

OK... Can we officially say we are done and inject some of the prospects into the lineup?
- geta02it

We need to know what we have in some of these guys. I’ve seen enough of Nordstrom and Buddy. Let’s see what Mathew Phillips can bring also would love tho see Ruzika play

I could be wrong, but is Phillips not eligible to be taken by the Kraken? I was wondering if Tre was not trying to be sneaky and keep him down in the AHL hoping he might slip through. Or Phillips might not be ready. Who knows.

He's hustling and putting up ok points, but his turnovers and cap hit are hard to overcome

Looks like he has to be protected

Go to Flames and he shows up as requiring protection

Honestly, I dont see us protecting him, & I think Kraken would take Kyllington before him. He's unproven at the NHL level & still a project for the Flames. If we did lose him Im OK with that, Dube & Magpie have lots of skills, are smaller & we have enough of those on our team. We need some solid heavier forwards that can play the game fast.
We need another really nasty top 4 D man as well.
