Rosen is not cut out for the 4th line, you're Krebs-ing him

This is more negative than positive for Calgary, Middelstadt would be an interesting guy to try-out as the #1 center but, Calgary is facing more of a retool than a rebuild and losing Weegar just shifts the problems they'll need to fix

Arizona isn’t trading Hayton, he’s the one who does all the dirty work for Keller and Schmaltz without the box score love. Their line has been top 30 in the league in xG% the last year and a half, Keller and Schmaltz aren’t the same without him.

Not a very positive off season if the Flames make that trade. Weegar and Andersson aren’t for sale
