Description

Since the start of the 2005-06 salary cap era there have been 19 teams with an average of 30 or older. Only one has won the cup (Detroit in 08). Calgary is the 5th oldest team in the league at just over 28 years old. They look slow and need some youth and speed in their lineup. The way I see it, Calgary lost their best Playmaker and their best Finisher. They can't control the tempo of play like they did last year, and the 2023 draft is an opportunity to retool the roster.

I'm assuming Tanev's injury is minor as they said 4 games. Huby could be out long term considering he is in a walking boot. Sutter playing 4th liners on the top line and demoting 1st line players isn't going to spark this team. This team also isn't going to beat any of the heavy weights this year. Let the kids play and recoup some assets for next year when the cap is higher and Calgary will have more leverage to deal. There needs to be a shakeup of some sort.

Trades

Prior to this year I would have said Cozens but he seems to be taking that 2C spot, and they still have Krebs.

BUF

Additional Details:

Buffalo gets a solid 2nd line winger and Center Prospect.

CGY

Just under the cap and I don't see Weegar being moved since he just signed.
