Guest bigbadbrent Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I thought Forsberg was signed to a team in Europe this season? he signed early in the year, but quit when his foot wasn't standing up....we'll see... like i said, i have a bad feeling if he comes back, he's going to vancity Quote
yodatrout Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I think cujo can be a positive influence on Calgary's younger goalies and question how strong a mentor kipper would be... Quote
OneMoreLastCast Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Joseph will be great to have for the rest of the season and play-offs because of his experience. He will give the team more confidence when he gets the odd start compared to an untested rookie. I agree that if McElhinney had been given a chance to prove himself, the team might have stuck with him as back up and not bothered picking up Joseph, but they didn't. They see these players every day and obviously didn't feel confident that he could do the job, so they signed Joseph. As mentioned, now they have too many goalie prospects in the minors, so I'd look for one of them to be packaged up in a deal for another top D-man or Top 6 forward before the deadline. I'm sure there aren't too many young goalies that are too happy when they get drafted by teams like Calgary, New Jersey or Vancouver because they couldn't possibly think they are going to get much playing time. Who is Vancouver's back up anyway?...or New Jersey's for that matter? It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that Calgary signed an older veteran, proven goaltender that doesn't expect to get a lot of playing time. In my opinion, it's a perfect situation for both parties. Quote
cheeler Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 The last part of the season for Calgary isn't for developing talent, its for making the playoffs. Quote
bulltrout Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 question how strong a mentor kipper would be... i'm not even gonna touch that comment or this thread with a ten foot pole...i'll leave this one for brent... Quote
KingSalmon Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Seasons half over.. I'm pretty sure that means they'll only be paying him $750,000.. I think he's worth it. Yea I realized that later on...in that case he might be worth it. The amount Kiprusoff plays under Keenan, Cujo won't get much burn anyways. Remember, Keenan played Grant Fuhr 79 games in 1996. Quote
Guest bigbadbrent Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 he's only pulling 650,000 on the cap..jusssssssst fine Quote
Din Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 hmmmm mcelhinney goes in and plays awesome.... Quote
bigbowtrout Posted January 16, 2008 Author Posted January 16, 2008 Tangs to TO for Sundin and you heard it her first Quote
snakeman Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 If Sundin gets traded it'll be to a team who has a good chance at winning a cup in the near future. Quote
Teck71 Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Thats a big If. I would more believe that the CN Tower was sold to Jenna Jamieson as her new toy. Toronto is Stubborn that way with their big players. Quote
bigbowtrout Posted January 16, 2008 Author Posted January 16, 2008 From what I here it would be Sundin for Tangs and some young talent and picks. So maybe one of our extra goalies. Quote
yodatrout Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Sundin might fit in with the Flames, pretty tough for a european and actually seems to have heart. I don't want to end up like the Rangers (all name, no game) or the Marlins (buying the world series and then sucking). I think I'd rather give it a go with what we have, maybe a couple minor tweaks but nothing major. We may not win the cup but we'll do better then the Oilers. Quote
snakeman Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 We may not win the cup but we'll do better then the Oilers. Yeah, at least until the flames roster starts developing cataracts and fragile hips due to old age Quote
Nick0Danger Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 For the record Brent Krahn will not be a flame next season. Yo Quote
Guest bigbadbrent Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 From what I here it would be Sundin for Tangs and some young talent and picks. So maybe one of our extra goalies. Have to get past Tang's no trade first.. Quote
SteveM Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Yeah, at least until the flames roster starts developing cataracts and fragile hips due to old age Diggin' yer new avatar, Snakeman! It's awesome how you managed to cram all the Oilers' highlights from the past 10 years into one 7 second clip! Just ribbin' ya... definitely a purty goal. Quote
Guest bigbadbrent Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 that truely was one of the nicest goals i've seen all year...but thats why those boys win in shootouts Quote
birchy Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 For the record Brent Krahn will not be a flame next season. Yo They need to trade Krahn.. he's been in the system for what? 6 years now? Still hasn't cracked the lineup! I'm sure there's some teams that would give him a shot. Quote
Din Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 They need to trade Krahn.. he's been in the system for what? 6 years now? Still hasn't cracked the lineup! I'm sure there's some teams that would give him a shot. maybe the reason why he's still around...invested so much time and energy into developing him they don't want to trade him. they won't get much for him if they do i'd imagine....but you gotta cut ur losses somewhere...

gustuphson Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Yeah, at least until the flames roster starts developing cataracts and fragile hips due to old age I hate your avitar I seriously thought Alice might have broken his hand with that celebration Quote
nick Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Definitely worth it. He's the #5 most winning goalie in NHL history, and he's one win from #4. I don't care if he hasn't won a cup, he's pretty much done everything else. Especially for 650K this year. The back up (McWhatever) is a waste of money, considering he's been in, what, 3 games and started one??? Quote
Guest bigbadbrent Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 McElhinney makes 500k..He'll be great in a couple years.. I'm more worried about how much Phaneuf will be asking for after the huge contracts of his year-mates Quote
