Thread: Flames Vs Jets Feb 1 2 4
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SmugTkachuk</b></div><div>Interesting, you almost wonder if a team makes a trade like this if they send the player right to Calgary and put him up in a hotel so he can get right to it when the team lands in calgary</div></div>

It's such a complicated process. The Oilers lost Anton Forsberg on waivers, so they claimed Troy Grosenick. If the Oilers had been playing at home he would have been able to be in their lineup within x number of days (can't remember how many lol). Instead they are on the road and because of that, only had a bit of a goalie issue.

I don't think there will be too many trades this season, but when there are I think the timing will be key. Try to time it just before a homestand so your guy doesn't miss as much time.

Thread: North Division Standings
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SmugTkachuk</b></div><div>Eh, my bias says boom, they're so deep now with Simon, Leivo, Nordstrom. Lindholm and Tkachuk together has looked like a game changing pairing, also takes hard minutes away from Monahan and Gaudreau, Mangiapane is always getting better, they've had Dube with Backlund which has done wonders for anyone that plays with Backlund in the past. They had a presidents trophy winning percentage after Geoff Ward took over last year. It was a poorly coached Bill Peter's team all year last year, this year is Geoff Ward's team and the line shuffling and special teams in camp has shown that. Rasumus Andersson is quarterbacking PP1 which I think will shock a lot of people at how well he can shoot and move the puck.</div></div>

No, I meant bust because of your quote "I think Calgary has the most boom or bust team in the division for sure". I doubt Calgary has 1st place potential but for sure in the playoffs if they perform well but they could totally place 6th if they bust. While Winnipeg is expected to be 5th or 6th place cuz of their defence....but they have the talent up front and the best goalie to place high in the division if their D can actually play good
