Thread: If Sharangovich wants to leave
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jfkst1</b></div><div>I personally like Calgary a lot. But I'm sure life as a pro hockey player is quite different. Higher taxes and zero privacy probably do make it unpleasant relative to other US market options.</div></div>
Not sure what the issue is. Likely they and/or their wives/girlfriends want to be in better climates where they can drive lambos and where swimsuits daily or it’s the old arena, dressing room and facilities or they don’t like or agree with the ownership/management situation. Sutter’s gone, so can’t use that as an excuse anymore lol

Taxes are no higher in Calgary than New York or California, but yeah, less privacy in Canadian markets for sure. We love our hockey and know our players

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bast</b></div><div>Sure, but why are we doing PIT favors and trading for a guy that's $750k-$1M overpaid for what he brings, especially on a long contract?

I'd rather trade FC for Orlov, so we could flip him at the deadline.</div></div>
I’m gonna go with the Younger Canadian Vet with Term who we can build around over the Older Orlov that will likely cost assets to acquire and has almost a 75% greater Cap Hit

Orlov has the Russian connection to some of our Players, but Graves seems more of a Flames type player to me

$4.5mil/yr is cheap for the minutes Graves can eat and we have a tough time getting players to sign in CGY, so again, I like that he comes with term and he’s juat entering his prime compared to Orlov who is more likely to fall off going forward as he’ll be 33 come July

Thread: This Team Would Be Decent IMO
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>Still missing super star + star talent on forward. I suspect they still miss the playoffs. D Group looks nice though.</div></div>
Could acquire that along the way, but Kadri, Huberdeau &amp; Kuzmenko have proven they can be 0.80-1.00PPG Players in CGY, they just need to do so consistently

Zary’s up &amp; coming and Sharangovich started slow, yet turned it on, but yeah, Mang, Backlund &amp; Coleman are typically 0.50-0.67PPG Players, so we definitely would need Mang to get back above that, Coleman to repeat that and then Duclair, Pelletier, Coronato or Pospisil to break out as Flames Players to consider this Team a “Contender”

If we don’t have a “SuperStar”, all I can go with is Good Defence, Hope for the above to happen and Pray for Hot Goaltending

Duclair’s a gamble, but his Speed, Grit &amp; Tenacity still intrigue me. He broke out in Tampa Bay, so he’s still got his offensive instincts &amp; skill intact

Thread: 2024 starting lineup
Pass on both Brodie &amp; Dumba unless they come for super cheap to play 3RD and Kill Penalties, like $1.5mil/yr cheap

Wolf will likely get more and I’m of the opinion Kylington should only get what Miromanov just got = $1.25mil/yr. I like Kylington and hope he stays healthy, but he’s still too risky and hasn’t done enough to justify getting anywhere near the same contract he did after that one-off breakout season he’s had so far

I can’t see Markstrom being with the Flames to start next season and would like to see Greer come back. Rather have the Younger, Bigger and More Physical Ohktiuk &amp; Solovyov back over Hanley too. If we could get a guy like Ryan Graves, he’d be an ideal Flame imo

I see at least one or two of Mangiapane, Kuzmenko, Coleman or Sharangovich moving on depending on how well they play, contract extension talks and how well Zary, Pospisil, Coronato &amp; Pelletier play next season as well
