Nice to see the Flames pick up a win last night. I thought the Leafs were the better team for puck possession and skating, but The Flames did a good job of limiting them to low percentage chances. Despite the 48 shots they really didn’t have that many fantastic scoring opportunities.

Flames just acquired Tyler Toffoli for a couple of prospects and draft picks.

Good pickup, wonder if Coleman will get bumped to the 3rd line now.

Good pickup. Bummer about losing a first round pick, but first rounders past the 7th or 8th pick tend to drop off quickly, so it may not mean much in the end.

I don't mind, I like the move. It's definitely a win now type of thing which it fine. Id rather add key pieces for draft picks to be good now while we have Johnny and Chucky in their prime rather than being a middle of the pack team with mid range prospects.

A+ move and its going to be an exciting spring this year.

I always loved Toffoli back when I was on the King's bandwagon. He kind of reminds me of Cammaleri in the way he can score.

Don't forget we need to resign both Johnny and Chucky after this season. I expect them both to get $10 mil minimum.

Also isn't Mangiapane's contract coming up too?

Kylington needs to be re-signed this summer too

 

[Mountain Man]

Kylington earned himself a big raise for sure! To think Seattle could have taken him instead of Gio.

 

[Surrealplaces]

A few re-signings coming up. Hopefully they can sort things out cap-wise.

 

[Mountain Man]

THey will get $1M more cap to work with, but this is going to be tough. They might have to just try and win it all now, starting to look like a truly elite team, dare I hope?

Tiffoli, looked pretty good last night for a guy who just joined.

 

[Mountain Man]

He's played with half the team in LA and Vancouver before (and with Monahan in Jr) and he played for Sutter before too. Probably the easiest time a player can have with a new team!

8 in a row now, this could be a fun few months of hockey!
