NHL Transactions, Injuries & Rumours

The problem is the money. ROR will recieve a 6.5M QO in the second year, and under the new rules the next year of the deal must be equal to that, and the variance from year to year is minimal, so the Flames will essentially be paying ROR upwards of 6M a year. That's an awful lot for an unproven #1 center.

Agreed

Mikael Backlund to AIK

fixed

[Robin Hood]

Big fan of this move for cgy

[armandtanzarian]

This better not fuck up the chances of Iggy getting moved at deadline.

Well, we know if they don't match it by tomorrow he'll be a Flame six days later.

GONNA BE AN EXCITING MORNING

[The BBKL Insider]

i think the Avs have to match

[thom54]

only took them almost half a season to offer sheet ROR; wish this happened much more often

[kimmer]

If they get ROR, I'm not even worried

ROR
Backlund
Stajan
Cervenka

Down the middle, Cammy Iggy and Tanguay go back to wing. NP

Considering the state of the center position in Calgary, O'Reilly would walk right in and be their #1 center. Bold move to say the least...pretty ugly contract to take on if you're Colorado and I don't know if a 1st and a 3rd is what they'd want in an actual trade. Could get another quality player in this draft...doesn't help them right now though.

[The BBKL Insider]

As of now, that 1st round pick is 7th overall

I already posted that. Nice work!

[The BBKL Insider]

They are probably pissed the flames scored 2 quick ones.


if they were smart the flames should have thrown this game

[Mike]

Surprised, didn't think they'd match either.

I wonder who ROR was cheering for in the first half of the period.
