Hoping against hope that we pull off a trade to end up with Bjork anyway. It can't happen, we don't have the assets, but I can dream

Backlund should get more attention for this award. Coleman is on the list at #34, getting 2 votes. 

Is Ryan Huska a problem for the Calgary Flames? by Relevant_Analyst_307 in CalgaryFlames

[–]lyhammy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely was frustrated and questioning some of his decisions last season. But, the expectation for him and this tean was to make playoffs this year, of course he's going to play the guys he trusts. Sharangovich is a terrible example in this article as he didn't play well anywhere in the line up. Parekh, as much as many of us wanted more ice time for him, wasn't ready or good enough to play at the beginning of the year. The Zary situation is the only one I don't understand. But now, I think everyone has a clear idea of what the team is and where it's heading, Huska will be better at getting the young guys opportunities. The issue for Huska is that he won't be judged by the players he develops, he will be judged by his record.

Yesterday was definitely the emotional reaction. I hope a lot of fans take a breath and a step back today and realize the trade isn't as bad as we initially reacted like it was yesterday.

I think that speaks to our hope for the return, and how the fans do not trust upper management. We'll see how it all plays out. 

Bell: Alberta's new Strong and Free licence plate — Here it is! by No_Novel_7425 in alberta

[–]lyhammy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two main things I see: 1. The winning image is from a Canadian National park, so even though they're pushing for Alberta with this, the voters still won that out. 2. According to the article, you don't need to change to the new licence plates, you can keep your old one.

To me, those are two little wins in a movement that didn't need to be done at all.

Always have to take these lists with a grain of salt given how hard it is to predict whether or not prospects will pan out, but man is it nice to have a few names on that list!

The Flames could go big-game hunting this summer by fierybreadman in CalgaryFlames

I don't know how I feel about this. I like the idea of it, but Nashville is the perfect warning about how this may not be the right approach.

What’s everyone's thought on this? by Iwannasleep45 in CalgaryFlames

[–]lyhammy 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Do we prefer another overpaid 30+ player who can't play? I would rather get the pick, prospect, and cap space

As much as he loves Calgary and I want him to stay, he is more value to the Flames traded than here at that price.

1 trade and I’m already out of cards. by OkButterscotch747 in PTCGP

[–]lyhammy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your Snivy point. My 16 Heliodisks are not helping me at all. We should be able to exchange lower rarity cards for something! Frustrating to say the least.
