Rumour

Team: 2023-24 Calgary Flames
Initial Creation Date: Nov. 2, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Rumour has it the Flames are on the verge of waiving a vet to send a message through the locker room. There are 9 players the article lists as "vets" that would be enough of a shock to wakeup the lineup, I don't believe the Flames want to lose any of these guys but I wonder from Flames fans POV, who would you waive to shake up the locker room that has either the lowest likelihood in being claimed or the least roster impact if claimed?

Scratched list is the list of players I would consider as "vets", the article only lists 9 (Lindholm, Huberdeau, Kadri, Backstrom, Colman, Weegar, Tanev, Zadorov and Markstrom)

If it's any vet, my belief goes to the following three, Kadri, Coleman, Markstrom (In that order too). Contracts are rough to put it lightly and the play from them except Markstrom has not been beneficial to the flames.

This is my guess too, although Huberdeau could also be an option just because of the unlikelihood of someone having the space and desire to claim him

I'd hesitate on Huberdeau mainly because he's of few players that has put up points, and the line of him, Lindholm, and Mangiapane has been the flames best so far.

Zary was their best forward last night, so maybe the message should be playing the guys who are playing the best.

Kadri should be playing like 10 mins a night at best based on the way he’s playing.

Let's not be silly, most Flames Vets have Trade Value or like, Huberdeau, Kadri and Markstrom have NMC's, so they aren't getting waived or moved anywhere

Perhaps a Forward like Hunt or Rooney (if he's healthy now) makes sense to bring up Zary full-time, or D-Man Oesterle to make room for Poirier or Solovyov, sure, but I doubt any other Vet gets waived.

If this Rumor does have any validity to it, Vladar, Dube or Sharangovich would be the ones to waive to send a message with the highest risk of being claimed, but I highly doubt the Flames do this; IOW I would be absolutely shocked if they do

He would be the most likely IMO but the Flames paid a lot to sign him (1st + Monahan + 7 mil), so I don't know if they would or not. It is an interesting situation however it plays out

No, he's consistent and playing well. Always does exactly what's expected of him

And to think the Flames traded a first just to dump Monahan to make room for Kadri. The Flames’ 2022 offseason could go down as one of the worst in NHL history.

Zadorov was out due to a Personal/Family Matter

Tanev has a Modified-NTC, so not the same thing

Yeah, but it's Friedman who reported it on 32 thoughts, all those trash websites do is regurgitate and misquote him. Causing a bunch of speculation about players with NMCs.

I get that, that's why the description asked who gets waived with either the least liveliest to be claimed or the smallest impact to the roster if they are claimed
