Trevor Neufeld: Six Questions About a Horrid Start, Zary’s Call Up, and the Power Play

Fist. Suck it long, and suck it hard 1230.

Francis reporting Flames have paused all contract extension talks.

Time to BLOW it up! Trade Lindholm and Hannifin. Hope Kadri asks for a trade too.

How much value does anyone on this team really have with how the team has performed over the last year and a bit?

Yeah definitely worth an update. We’ll dig into trade value and precedent hard this week.

Trevor, I see you just couldn't help yourself and had to take a shot at the Oilers again. They may be near the bottom of the standings but we both know they're not a basement team.

A little early in the season to be calling anyone a basement team. Except maybe San Jose.

They’re truly awful so far this season. Both Alberta teams deserve to be where they are in the standings.

Agreed. Neither have played like playoff caliber teams.

At least you guys get Dallas on a back-to-back! Draisatl looks so off. Still putting up points but we’ve seen him take over games when McDavid is out. Not doing that.

Kadri and huberdeau are the reason this team sucks !!! This all started and has t even come close to showing signs of getting better the second those two clowns put in the jersey amd they have killed that room !!! Brutal

So true, but some still have hope. I’m surprised Mrs McDavid hasn’t been by for a visit,to complain about your blog.

You’re not wrong. Does Draisaitl come out after the Oilers get bounced and declare he has no intention of signing again?

If he does, the Oilers trade him for a MASSIVE haul. If people around these parts think players like Tanev and Zadorov are worth a 1st ++ imagine what Draisaitl would fetch.

It would be interesting to see the offers.

The team will start clicking soon enough. Too much talent not to. Maybe this humbling start is what they need to kick their asses in gear.

Gotta imagine it would be something along the lines of multiple 1sts, a top prospect, and a contract. An example would be Boston sends 2 firsts, Poitras, and Grzelcyk for Draisaitl and Broberg. Just as an example, wouldn't happen next offseason as players contract situations change by then, but something comparable for a team in need of a top C.

Ive never seen anyone in these parts suggest a 1st ++ for Tany or Z but I wll say this, if their healthy at the trade deadline and available...... they will be highly coveted!

I think we should just be thankful we have Flames fans analytics to go on.

At least the players look good in overalls. Proud moment for the franchise.

Lindholm and Huberdeau to the Caps.

Backsrom is hanging up the skates for the season, and Washington needs Ovi to get that record. Not sure what will happen with Backstrom's contract but maybe Calgary could take that contract and Mantha back? Not sure what sort of pieces would be coming back to Calgary. Huberdeau has been a bum in Calgary, but he is still a decent player, seems he needs a change of scenery.
