This guy cares. A lot more than some that decided to leave. It’s not his fault tre gave him the money (anyone would sign that deal). At some point the fan base needs to rally around him imo
#Flames
I get trades are exciting.... this isn't a guy we should be considering imo (unless its an absolute home run/can't miss trade). He's happy here, enjoys being a
#Flames
. We all see wolfs potential, I think it's better for Dustin to have a guy like Marky around
Bit of a
#flames
UFA update: Nikita Zadorov has told the team his preference would to NOT be traded, and would like an extension to keep his family here…. Team doesn’t seem interested in the later, as of right now.
"We've got a great d-corps. We're looking forward to seeing him tonight."
#Flames
defenceman MacKenzie Weegar talks about the addition of Daniil Miromanov and facing off against the Panthers.
Toffoli wanted to stay (team prioritized Lindy)…. Zadorov wanted to stay (team prioritized Hanifin)…. Team seems to be prioritizing players that are non committal… is that possibly causing issues in the room? Wild times with the
#flames
Is it just me or does the vibe around the
#Flames
group seem completely different lately. Especially with the dads there? Body language, to a man, seems way better.
I am confirming devils have improved their offer, however it comes with a time limit for the
#flames
to act or they will move on…. and it’s not a very long time limit (they don’t want Craig taking their offer to increase offers from others). No idea on return/retention.
A bit of summer news for
#Flames
fans…. Ilya Solovyov has stayed here in Calgary to train with the team strength coaches, in the hopes of earning a full time job on the team next year.
#flames
update: Dan is back in town after hip surgery in New York (got married as well) time line is about 5 months. Hip already feels better, and he’s looking forward to not having to take upwards of 8 painkillers to play a game next year 🔥
Elliotte Friedman reports that the Calgary
#Flames
and
#NJDevils
talked about a Jacob Markstrom trade last week.
Retention and the trade return were two issues the team ran into.

#flames
fans should be excited about the organizational shift away from letting dudes go for free, and seeing that the owner has ok’d a retool. He MIGHT even support it….. I guess he will let Craig retain money after all…. As some of us knew the whole time.
I would caution everyone to wait on official word on Dube before putting him into that group. Source has heard he “isn’t apart of it” and thinks the NHL would come down hard on the franchise for attaching it to mental health “doesn’t see the flames doing that”…. 🤷🏻♂️
Sounds like Craig called the devils bluff and they came crawling back to the
#Flames
…. I wouldn’t move Marky unless it’s an obvious win, let’s see how it plays out!
Not sure if it was today, or yesterday, but it sounds like the
#flames
had a really good meeting with Ivan Demidov. The team was informed he would definitely come over (when contract is up) if he was selected by the team.
I think we’re going to see the great sell off for the
#Flames
…. Sounds like the agent, and team agreed to an extension: Noah took a while to sign it and has now backed away. The flames have backed away from other talks as of right now.
I think Conroy is a little more ruthless than we all predicted. Sounds like he’s set his price in both trade talks, and contract negotiations, thus far and is sticking to it. 2 different interviews mentioned eyeing under 24yr old C is a nice thing to hear as well.
I got confirmation that the
#Flames
made a contract offer to Zadorov for 2 years (between 8-9 mill). Player wanted 5 or 6 years. Sounds like an exact copy of the Toffoli situation, Craig careful on term. Player would happily still sign and stay still.
The
#flames
brought in older defensive stability (Bahl, Grushnikov) then made the choice to back fill high end younger skill behind it…… almost seems like a competent plan….
Conroy wants to be ready to win by the time the new rinks open. At least
#Flames
fans know the vision/plan. Will he do it how you (or I) would, probably not. Should we give him, and iggy, time to cook. Absolutely.
Hearing Jake may have bought a house in Calgary (unconfirmed from my usual source). We will see if this is tied to the
#flames
here soon I guess. His partner is from Alberta and sounds like she wanted to be closer to home/family.
#Flames
fans should want the knights to load up before tomorrow (using their draft capital). It’ll increase the odds we get the 2nd, and the 2026 1st is unprotected. Typically teams can stumble at bit, 2 years after going “all-in”
Seems to be some confusion about this. A “winning” brand of hockey Includes fundamental plays like driving the net. The fact that Hub drives the lane (back against the grain) taking both the D, and his stick, with him is what creates the attack lane for Naz. It’s high level play.
So the
#Flames
can return the current roster next year. Allocate 5.5 mill towards Pelletier and Kylington (extensions) and still have roughly 14 mill in cap space. Enough for difference making C and D!?
Do we REALLY think Frank would be the only one that knows a story as big as the
#flames
owner nixing a done deal!?! 😆 an hour after Elliotte drops a pod with a completely different story. Come on now. Yall writing “open letters” to the owner must be awfully bored.
Can expect the
#Flames
to try and extend Sharangovic in the off season. This was the original plan (if both sides were happy) when they signed the first deal
Big for
#Flames
fans to know. Marky likes the city, organization and fans etc etc. This is purely the teams new direction doesn’t line up with his age, and contract. It’s not the same as the other players asking out. If this team had a shot of being competitive, he’d be fine.
Can see a bit of a “shift” with CC running the
#Flames
. Honzek, Morin, Suniev, sharky, kuzy, Miromanov… all of their scouting reports have one strength (that personally) I don’t think Brad put much of a focus on. Can you see what it is?!
So we thinking Tanev for a 2nd and prospect. Lindy for a low first and prospect.
#flames
draft Catton at 8, flip the other 2 picks to move up and get TIJ? 🫡
The draft before Edm opened their new the rink, the NHL rigged a lottery for a generational talent… we open ours in 2027, looks like the 2026 draft lottery is ours 🫡🫡
Berkly Catton is a dynamic offensive player who projects to be a top six forward in the NHL.
Should the Flames take him if he is available at pick nine?
Check out our Berkly Catton prospect profile here:

The more I see of Matvei, I can see what his representatives are high on. Looks a lots like Jason Robertson. You can definitely see what the
#Flames
saw….. now develop it, at Michigan please (prefer that timeline vs CHL)… just my opinion though
@DannyAustin_9
Dude has shown up for the flames whenever they’ve asked, or needed him. More loyal to the team/city/franchise than most of the players that complained, and got him fired. Not sure how many people would’ve shown up tonight, if they were in his shoes.
Source: Expect the
#flames
to try and attach Markstrom with Vancouver’s pick to move up into the top 12-13. Conroy has “eyes on a D and a F that he doesn’t believe will last past the 15th pick”….. that d is guessed to be Yakemchuk (however grain of salt) it’s miss info szn
I see some comments from last night asking the
#flames
to sign hanifin…. The teams tried, they’ve offered a lot on a very long term… this is on the player, not the team…
Toffoli's 5 on 5 Points the last 3 seasons: 84
Sharangovich's 5 on 5 points the last 3 seasons: 76
Pretty similar numbers at 5 on 5. I wonder if Sharangovich can get to the 50-60 point range if he is put in a similar situation as Toffoli. Top 6 and PP time.
Anyone else have a REALLY good gut feeling on this pick!?!? Kind of feels like we got 2 first rounders imo. Like where would he go in last years draft 🤔
With Sharangovic coming in (and him needing to pop), the importance of having Nikita Zadorov around can’t be underestimated….. need as seem-less of a fit as possible. Nice to hear Nikita helping him out with housing etc etc.. Nikita wants to be a
#Flames
long term as well.
Was told the
#flames
have upper their contract offer to Hanifin (later last week/on the weekend) in response to the underwhelming offers being received…. Mid to high 8’s AAV x 8 fully NMC protected.
Still moves to be made: I hope the
#flames
start to prioritize the middle of the ice here. Whether the draft, or potential return on trades. It’s bleak at C in the organization.
Imo this market for players is unprecedented, players given away for free… players bought out. Conroy did great in the Toffoli deal, especially after seeing what’s happened after that
#flames
The
#flames
will be making a ton of picks the next couple years, stashing a high end college prospect for 2-3 years down the road makes ALL kinds of sense to me… Michigan develops well
If your team is contending…. Instead of asking if the Vegas LTIR is sketchy… start asking questions about why your team isn’t doing it (if you think it giving an advantage).
Because the
#flames
rescued him from being a bust, not being able to make head way on a stacked Carolina blue-line and force fed him 25 mins a night lol least he could do is go on a playoff run with a team (that’s paying the most) and keep his mouth shut.

have with Noah Hanifin and why he has the right to dictate his future.
