<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsFanForSomeReason</b></div><div>8-4-4 this year with Timmins (better pts % than the team has on the season), 17-7-1 last year. Has scored at a 40 point pace in his Leafs tenure.

Not saying Timmins is some super valuable piece, but he's not nothing.

Haven't said a word about Abruzzese.

That Robertson take is pure speculation that has kind of been disproven because we already know of one team that had/has significant interest in him.

Plus you've got Niemela and a 5th in there...</div></div>

He had 9 points in 8 games last season, that like saynig Zadorov is a 14 goal scorer so his value should be higher when really he was average with a hatrick in game 82. As mentioned, he had a flash in the pan and has gone back to exactly the player that was traded for Curtis Douglas.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SomeonesOffended</b></div><div>No the first can easily be a better player then both it makes zero sense for this team to trade the first this year they aren’t winning anything</div></div>

Well then the NHL GM's must think exactly the same right? Just try justify the pieces:

Niemela - Good enough piece, looked significantly better in Europe than the AHL.
Robertson - In a system with Pelletier, Zary, Pospisil, Honzek, Coronato, Draft picks etc. all filling up the wings, where does Robertson fit? Especially when the Flames lack a ton of size already.
Timmins - Really bad at hockey, Leafs don't win when he plays, he had a flash in the pan last season after the trade and now he's back to exactly who the Coyotes thought he was.
Abruzzese - Flames lose him free agent before he does anything, why not just let the Leafs lose him for nothing next season?

Thread: ZADOROV WILL BE LEAF
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rajvinder</b></div><div>I love the Calgary bafoons like yycofred trying to pretend it's just "Toronto Media" when his agent has literally gone public with a trade request.

Dude is going wherever he wants. Nobody will trade for a player who put in a trade request without knowing he wants to come and Calgary can't keep him unless they also want to risk destroying the room and having a media circus around them.

If his list is just Toronto which it seems like it is per numerous insiders then he will go to Toronto pretty cheap.</div></div>

I genuinely wonder if this is your first season of watching hockey. He’s not James Harden?! This isn’t the NBA l. The flames literally did this with Bennett four years ago. Everything you said here was dumb.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>Really?! I thought most Flames fans wanted Kadri gone and wolf wasn't preforming up to expectations. I apologize if I misread the situation</div></div>

Even when a ton of flames were having meltdowns about Kadri he was still leading the way in expected goals and creating chances, he was super unlucky and prone to turnovers at the start of the year which was definitely frustrating to watch but he was fine. Beyond that his buyout is suuuppeer palatable in a couple years if need be

Wolf just got called up, hasn’t played but was leading the AHL with 5 wins and had a .924 sv%. Even if he were underperforming to start the season he’s only 22 and the only blue chip prospect the flames have, they’ll give him a huge runway to get his bearings if he needs it.
