Slightly overpaid for EJ but his trajectory remains an upward one. Now about that Radar contract..

I am glad to know that he plans to speak to his fiance today.
LOL at the money playing a small part. If that was true he would have just signed with the team he thinks is the best position.
The Flames desperately need to make a trade. Their roster is too large, especially at LW.
FORWARDS
Mike Cammalleri ($6.000m) / Roman Cervenka ($3.775m) / Jarome Iginla ($7.000m)
Jiri Hudler ($4.000m) / Matt Stajan ($3.500m) / Lee Stempniak ($2.500m)

CAPGEEK.COM TOTALS (follow @capgeek on Twitter)
(these totals are compiled without the bonus cushion)
SALARY CAP: $70,200,000; CAP PAYROLL: $68,855,624; BONUSES: $3,636,250
CAP SPACE (25-man roster): $1,344,376
6 LW, 5 C, and only 3 RW. They also have 8 D and 3 Goalies.
That isn't even counting Roman Horak (RW) or Greg Nemisz (C). who I'm now assuming will both start the season in Abby despite playing significant roles on the big club last season.
I'm thinking Feaster will attempt to move Matt Stajan, Anton Babchuk, Henrik Karlsson and he SHOULD try to move Tim Jackman, but he won't. >.<

Trade Iginla to the Flyers for draft picks.
Yeah more bullshit from these players again about money, yeah right money isn't part of the descion, is that why your asking 12 million upfront for a couple of years, I love it when hockey people/analysts/reporters and players say that money isn't an issue for this guy, he just wants to win etc and all that bullshit, but you see Crosby making 36 million in his first 3 years and this guy asking for 12 million upfront just shows its all bullshit. They are still human and will ask for every cent there is. Funny how much shit this media gives russian players for going to KHL and just say shit about this.
No, with Parise and Suter, it's not about the "money" because the money is basically the same everywhere.
It's easy for them to be in a position where money isn't important because they've got five or six comparable uber-rich deals to choose from.
Not the same for some middling UFA who hopes to get $2.5m/yr and then a team blows him away with $3.5m/yr.

He's only got one year left... and I honestly have no clue if he re-signs with this team. So they very well might just do that.
We need some LW's, Glencross would be nice.

Hudler's gonna rack them points big time playing with Stajan and Stempniak :lol
Just as good as Zetterberg and Filppula

Parise and Suter can afford to be patient. They know the teams that want them will wait since they're the best options out there right now. Howson can wait with Nash since he's not holding out. Same with Murray and Ryan.
Everyone has a choice but they're waiting for someone to go first.

The names are slotted by position/salary on capgeek. I would think the lines would look more along the lines of:
Tanguay - Cammalleri - Iginla
Baertschi - Cervenka - Hudler
Glencross - Backlund - Stempniak
Comeau - Jones - Jackman
Jay Bouwmeester / Mark Giordano
Derek Smith / Dennis Wideman
Cory Sarich / T.J. Brodie
That looks relatively solid, to me. But like I said, I don't think Feaster is done yet.
No way that roster is playoff calibre. Feaster better not be done.

If their goalie has a great year I could definitely see them grabbing a playoff spot.
Umm no, their center depth is atrocious, their D is horrible aside from the 1st pairing, their 2 best players are 35+, how much in the tank do they have.
yankeehater

They missed the playoffs by 5 points last year. They have also added some pieces through FA. I dont see how anyone can say no way.
Because other teams can get better too? Hudler and Wideman aren't enough to put a team over the top either.

Of course, I was just saying that it isnt impossible that they make it.

We have plenty of those!
Pieces?

This makes me feel a bit better.
Seems to have a good shot, goes to the front of the net with vigor, and has a good set of wheels on him. Between he, Baertschi, Wideman and Hudler, the Flames should definitely be more fun to watch this year.

I love how the flames have a player that never played a single NHL game penned as their second center. Behind a guy who's not really a center at all.
He had to have his 2nd best year of his career to even get close to the playoffs with 2.35GAA .921SV%
Olli Jokinen > Hudler.
Wideman is a 30 point guy while being shit defensively.
So crazy it just might work, right?
KernelPanic

Shocked they let Olli go:
I loved Olli, I really did. Dude was magic in GIF form.
He will be missed.
They've gotten progressively younger in this offseason, in both top 6 forwards and top 4 D.
Out
Jokinen is 33.
Hannan is 33.
Ivanans is 33.
Karlsson is 28.
Kostopolous is 33.
Moss is 30.
In
Baertschi is 19.
Hudler is 28.
Cervenka is 26.
Wideman is 29.
Irving is 24.

That's the end of that.
No Chris Butler? I think I saw he was playing 20-22 minutes last year. Was wondering how he's done in Calgary.. take that as not so hot.
<3 Regehr
I don't know how other teams do it, but I know in Montreal's development camp they hand out numbers without any real thought. Galchenyuk has been wearing #27 which is Bourque's number, and another prospect was wearing Desharnais' number.
Not really. Dev camp #s don't mean shit. Galchenyuk wore 27 and some else wore 51 at Habs' D camp, and the Habs aren't trading Desharnais and can't find someone dumb enough to take Bourque.
EDIT: fuck off, Red :lol

Probably waiting until the next CBA and hoping that donuts can be used as a form of payment in contracts.
Would love him back on the Sharks to replace Handzus. Sucks he'll never get past the idiots with the donuts comments(^ ahem), he's a super crafty player.

This. he was money for Jets last season, I remember he was leading the team in points in the first 25 games with 21 points.
Wouldn't mind giving him a contract, could replace Foligno's production we lost and is a bit more consistent while playing less minutes, also 54% on the faceoffs could replace what we lost with Konopka.
KernelPanic
Member
Latendresse will probably replace a good chunk of Foligno's production, the rest by a rookie most likely Silf.
Really don't know why fans keep drooling over our prospects on HFB but then want to sign every damn FA forward and prevent anyone from ever making the team.
Because Latendresse has played 25 games in TOTAL in the last 2 seasons.

That is a not good team.....

And then you bring in Hoffman, Zib, Stone etc.
I imagine there's some reservation on him as he still could still flub. I seem to recall him doing well in TO, but then falling off.
That said, he was putting up points on ANY line that Noel threw the guy on near the beginning of the season.
