Lindholm and Gillies both got signed for a little bit less than I thought they would, so that's good news cap-wise. I like the 6 year deal, Lindholm is still young and after watching a few highlights and things he and Hanifin both seem like emotionally invested players. This game recap got me...

Yeah. I was one of those people thinking "ah, big deal. It's not THAT good," but it's really starting to win me over.

Perhaps it looks small in the picture but yeah, it's gigantic. Look at the mobile home things parked around the pit, those are what? 40ft long each? Compare that to the size of the pit. In person it's absolutely massive too.

So far I think its just rumors, but I read the Flames and Lindholm might be getting close to a deal, supposedly $5M for 5-6 years. Comparing his $5M to someone like Neal's $5.8M, I just don't see it. Neal's had 10 seasons of no lower than 20 goals. Lindholm's never HAD a season with more than 20...

Yeah. The plaza feels a little cold and hasn't been overly busy judging from each time I pass by, but the sounds from the benches is really cool. Is that little building on the plaza done yet? I forget what it was for exactly.

I don't have many details but I saw some Future Development signs set up at Crowfoot Crossing, kind of close to the old Montanas restaurant. Probably nothing major, was just curious if anyone knows what that is for?

Heard that too, I hope it doesn't start Ken King and the Flames off again on their quest to build the $1.8B sandwich, aka CalgaryNEXT. That was the spot they were going for more or less, wasn't it?

Most of our newest Flames have chosen their numbers! Neal is #18 (as expected), Hanifin is #55, Lindholm #28, Czarnik #27, and Ryan #10. Guess that means Stajan is indeed out, as is Versteeg. I'm also super glad a Western team didn't get Tavares, especially glad that he's on a Canadian team...

My guess for the lineup would be something along the lines of: Gaudreau - Monahan - Neal Tkachuk - Backlund - Lindholm Bennett - Ryan/Jankowski - Frolik Mangiapane - Ryan/Jankowski - Foo/Czarnik Giordano - Brodie Hamonic - Hanifin Kulak - Stone/Andersen Smith - Rittich/Gillies I hope we...

Woah so we just signed James Neal ... honestly wasn't expecting that. 5 year, $5.75M per year. I think we DEFINITELY need to buyout Brouwer now, or we won't have enough cap space to sign Janko Hanifin and Lindholm, and give Tkachuk a raise.

Okay so I guess the Flames have signed Derek Ryan to a 3 year deal at $3.125M/year, and Austin Czarnik for a 2 year deal at $1.25M/year. I guess this is some of the depth scoring we might need, with Ryan coming off a career-high 38pt season last year and Czarnik still a young guy with good AHL...

Yeah, Grabner seems kind of intriguing, his inconsistency between seasons kind of scares me though. I kind of get them talking to Reaves, Smith was even complaining about our lack of fighters after that Oilers game that Tanner Glass had to go and get all beat up in. Honestly I thought with...

Agreed agreed agreed. I'm kind of indifferent if they want to try out Ryan, but I'm pretty done with handing older, potentially post-prime players $4.5M, 4 year contracts. I'd say 2 year max, maybe $1-2M if that. (I think he had a $600,000 salary in Carolina, according to CapFriendly). Just...

Agreed gsunnyg. I don't mind if they want to fill out the remaining area between the NE corner of Stoney Trail and the rest of the city, but as far as extending further and further outward it needs to stop. Calgary was blessed/cursed with having very few physical obstacles, such as mountains...

Wait, that's the staircase??? :I I thought/hoped that was just part of the construction stuff. THAT reminds me of these: (and not in a good way). Might be another classic case of cheaping out on stuff. It's probably not even that much more expensive to make a curved staircase like in the...

It's pretty slim, this shouldn't take very long to rise.

I'm definitely bummed this is gonna stall the project even MORE, but i'm just thankful miraculously yet again no one was hurt. That's a busy CTrain station, they should be putting some scaffolding or SOMETHING to protect those standing below, it's not hard to visualize this happening yet again...

I'm a little confused about them all suddenly saying Dougie wasn't a good fit in the locker room, I remember things like this and don't see how he could be vicious or hard to deal with. If anything, maybe he was too laid-back and too friendly? If you know what I mean? Like perhaps they wanted...

Before I say how I feel about it, let's analyze this trade. We traded: Dougie and Ferls (combining for 38G, 47A, and 85P) AND a prospect. (At Harvard, he got 6G, 22A, and 28P in 29 games played) Dougie has a cap hit of $5,750,000, and Ferland of $1,750,000. We Got: Lindholm and Hanifin...

There's been some rumors floating around that the Flames are considering trading Dougie Hamilton. I think that's a terrible move. He's a top-scoring D-man in the NHL on a team that lacks scoring, and they'd even consider trading him? I'd much rather see Brodie or Stone, or both go before...
