Flames may sell sooner than later at this rate

The problem is, the guys that they NEED to sell are not movable contracts. Would you trade for Huberdeau at 10.5 million, locked into that rate for this year and 7 more?

 

If he had a good year last year, that would be something, but he went from 115 points in 21/22, 1.40 points per game, to 55 points last year, the last of his old deal, .696 points per game, to on track this year for .5 points per game, 30 years old and -11. FULL NMC! You can't even send his ass to the AHL!

 

Or, how about Kadri? Massive fall off last year, even bigger this year. is 33 years old, looks like he's in free fall and has 5 more seasons at 7 million per...also FULL NMC!

 

They are seriously screwed for the duration of those contracts

I am sorry but OEL and LE did more that those guys on the Flames. LE and Beagle actually kept pucks out of the net when we were PK and OEL was good, he was always getting burned by Chaos Giraffe and you all hated his contract because of Benning and it was a couple million too high. 

The Flames guys are just terrible.

it was more the fact, we had 2 high paid contracts we couldn't get rid off, and they have 2 even worse contracts, and both at the same time...

Don't disagree at all that LE and OEL brought more to the table, but they played far below their contracts... far below.

The flames topped out this year in game 1 of preseason.

 

I remember well the angst and doomin’ that the 10-0 preseason butt-whooping caused among some in here. The Canucks in general had a pretty meh preseason.

 

Just another reminder that the preseason doesn’t mean jack squat.
