Forge Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I'm pretty sure the season is over. We are one point ahead of Columbus for last place. Toffoli should be moved at the deadline. Possibly Mikey as well. Miller won't return much, but at the end of the season we should be playing Nemec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the Timo trade involved a conditional pick this year. It's a second. However it could have become a first if we made the conference finals. Since there is no chance of that, we have our first but not our second 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ran about 15 sims and finally got us in first. There's no such thing as locking in the positioning at this point 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainmaker90 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Guys, we really gotta calm down with the ‘it’s over’ stuff. It has not been looking good but we’re only 5 points away from 3rd in the Metro. In every sport there are peaks and valleys . Right now could be our lowest point of the year. Last year we had a 3-10 stretch. Plenty of season left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year we had a 3-10 stretch. Plenty of season left. In the salary cap era (20 years), about 80% of the playoff positioning is known by Thanksgiving. It's been just shy of 80% the last decade as well. So pretty consistent. So there is a chance, of course, but historically our current position has not yielded positive results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Rare win/win trade imo. Yegor is quickly becoming one of my favourite Flames. He's earned a ton more PT time imo. He is LETHAL on the penalty shot/shootout and just makes plays. He started off slowly but he's slowly coming on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated how many Calgary fans on HF blasted the trade. Rango is a solid middle six guy who just got squeezed. It happens. And he's amazingly likeable 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, history has not looked kindly upon our current position. 20% of the time, teams have overcome, so it's not impossible, but generally speaking that is what you're looking at. They need a good, long winning streak. Not sure they have the goaltending or defense to do it, but we'll see. I would just hold off on doing anything drastic from a roster standpoint.
