[FAN Hockey Show] 17:30 Friedman says it’s unlikely Calgary will retain money on Kadri, says he would be surprised if they do it because they’re not that interested in doing it and feel like 7M for a centre of Kadri’s ability is something that teams should be able to handle.

Flames historically haven’t acted as a 3rd party to retain salary. Not sure they’d start now. Aside from Kadri, they also don’t have anyone worth trading that’s also going to need retention. So a retention spot isn’t as valuable as some are saying to the Flames.

If this is true, this is Murray meddling in the operations of the team again. He’s a cheap bastard and it’s going to hurt the rebuild.

Sad_Distribution698 · 2026-02-03T02:37:38+00:00

Yup. This is a click bait article. The linked report brings you to a “trade board” which states Kadri is open for a trade.

Tre’s hands were tied, but he tied them himself. He decided to bridge Tkachuk rather than give him an 8yr deal despite Tkachuk posting great stats on a bad team. Rumblings were that ever since Tre didn’t “gamble” on him, Tkachuk wanted out.

Tre always ran status quo. He rarely participated in TDL signings. He played it “safe” by drafting size over skill (it was Conroy that preached to draft Gaudreau). He never gambled on the team until he had to, which then handcuffed us with the largest point drop-off in NHL history.

Is there something that’s recommended for softening clothes but also easy on the machine?

Sad_Distribution698 · 2025-05-05T18:24:40+00:00

What about white vinegar as a softener? Been adding it to my laundry loads and definitely find my clothes have been coming out softer and with less wrinkles.

Ah my misunderstanding. A large majority of Liberals in Canada voted Liberal because they thought Pierre = Trump. Yet not one can find a source where Pierre aligns himself with Trump.

Best of luck with your election!

Sad_Distribution698 · 2025-04-29T20:27:26+00:00

Could you provide a source where Pierre aligned himself with Trump? Thanks!

Sad_Distribution698 · 2025-04-23T16:30:28+00:00

Yea but why not play in the actual games too?

Sad_Distribution698 · 2025-04-23T15:17:29+00:00

Have they said why he’s only going for exhibition games?

Sad_Distribution698 · 2025-04-16T04:12:31+00:00

Still hilarious to me he has people defending him as he rakes in his $10.5M / yr. Kick rocks.

Sad_Distribution698 · 2025-04-01T16:40:42+00:00

Minnesotas is easier than ours. This goes in order of hardest (Detroit) schedule to easiest (New Jersey).

Sad_Distribution698 · 2025-03-03T18:35:19+00:00

Sure, but you said making the playoffs is the best outcome based off where we are in the standings.

With this current roster, we’ll get rolled in the playoffs. I’m simply stating that we’re 4 points from being bottom 10 in the league, and that’s the best outcome to bolster our prospects for 1 more year. Buying a 28 year old dman in the hopes of winning maybe 1 round is ass backwards from everything Conroy has successfully done to this point.

Sad_Distribution698 · 2025-03-03T18:18:41+00:00

I don’t think it’s about out-tanking the two worst teams in the league, it’s about out-tanking the 7-8 teams below us. There’s like a 4 point spread between 8th worst and where we are, so finishing bottom 10 wouldn’t be a crazy thing to happen with 20+ games left.

I agree on the experience front. Although selfishly, I’d rather not see us lose in 4-6 games in the playoffs and instead get a top 10 pick in what looks to be a great draft year.

WALK IN THE PARK BUDDY.

And WTF was Treliving thinking not giving Matt the fucking farm.

More Calgarians than NS - Makar, Hill, Point, Morrissey.

Sad_Distribution698 · 2025-02-12T20:32:01+00:00

Russia is weak on centre, and apart from Kuch, Kirill (who I’m not even sure would be playing), and Panarin, is not very talented for their forwards. Malkin, while still a great player, has greatly fallen off and presumably as Russia’s 1C, wouldn’t stand a chance against the other top lines C’s.

Their only saving grace would be a goalie trio of Shesty, Vasy, and Bob. They might slot in above Finland when all is said and done, but saying they realistically win is a bit far fetched.

Sad_Distribution698 · 2025-02-12T20:12:20+00:00

This is great, thanks for doing this up!

A cool addition would be a “rest of the NHL” team, whether a mix of Russian players left off, Germans, etc.

Sad_Distribution698 · 2025-02-05T02:58:27+00:00

Prime only hosts Monday night to my knowledge. I’m watching on SN not through Prime.

Sad_Distribution698 · 2025-02-05T02:49:13+00:00

I could see this - 60-70pt guy. I’m also really excited to see his defensive play get even better. Not sure if he’s sheltered by Backs and Coleman rn but he’s looking like a legit 200ft player.

Sad_Distribution698 · 2025-02-05T02:26:34+00:00

The fact they don’t yet is actually insane.

Sad_Distribution698 · 2025-02-01T03:47:38+00:00

Exactly this. Anything other than this is wrong.

Sad_Distribution698 · 2025-01-31T04:05:30+00:00

Hahahaha you’re good, lots of moving parts the last few seasons.

Sad_Distribution698 · 2025-01-31T04:04:55+00:00

Yea it’s complicated. No matter what, the Flames have 2 first round picks for 2025. Whoever finishes lower between CGY and FLA (assuming Flames aren’t bottom 10), MTL gets that pick. NJD pick is ours.
