you on I saw you on the the insider trading and I’m sure a lot of people saw it on social media you did have some Flames news nice of you guys in the East to pay attention to us little guys out here in the west uh again it’s another one of those things it’s nothing that’s pressing or imminent but the uh Craig Conroy and the Flames are good chance they’re going to be involved in some way shape or form moving forward towards the deadline here yeah and look this is a news breaking we’ve talked about it before and everybody knows that you know the the Flames would like to add a centerman but you know Connie got a little more specific on the Rand dgs podcast which dropped yesterday and talked about kind of the type of Def centerman that he’s looking for and it’s a pretty age appropriate individual somebody who again is going to grow with this group but somebody they can lock into for the next three to five years and he’s talked about a top six guy here so one two Center and he realizes that that’s a lofty wish list I mean who’s parting with a piece like that that’s quality you know it’s just it’s it’s very very unlikely but you got to put your lies in the water and he’s done that and then furthermore you look down the path and you see the March 7 trade deadline and you know as we’re talking here we know the Calgary Flames are a top 10 team in the National Hockey League well you know what if they they don’t drop what if they’re as deep into it as they are today or they’re at least you know more or less a playoff lock when you get to around the 7th of March then what does he do and like every general manager even when you face the somewhat unexpected which is again the Calgary Flames being where they’re at at the trade deadline um you feel a sense of obligation certainly not to mortgage the future but to bring in as much help as you can afford so he’s not willing to say he’s going to be aggressive at the trade deadline I mean hell it’s months away but if this team is still very much in the thick of things then they won’t mortgage the future but they’ll do everything they can to reward the group for a job well done we’ve talked about this a bunch drgs like it’s exactly what they need how often do you see a player or an asset like that actually change hands in season like is it once every two three years like it seems rare to give up someone 22 to 25 that’s a centerman that could play in the top six you know even even your older players right like and we’re being very specific to Center but you know that’s why there was some Shock in all when you saw Chris kader’s name hit the the the the speculative wire earlier this week out of the New York Rangers and only because you know players like that normally aren’t traded in season but it does happen and I I think back to you know the deal that Buffalo and the Vegas gold the nights made for Jack eel that was not an easy deal to make right it it wasn’t there was the uncertainty of Jack eel’s Health um the tens of millions literally guaranteed based on his contract you know so I I kind of Revisited that uh that that whole process with Kevin Adams earlier this week and he said you know what truth is MC griman and I were dealing on this for months so that’s when a deal like that happens in November it’s only because the seed was planted a long long long time ago and I’m getting more of that in conversations that I had this week with general managers including Conroy around the National Hockey League is that okay this is what we want here’s what we feel we need so you just lay it out there and and you do have to be willing to talk about some of the pieces Parts assets that you’d be able to include in a deal he’s not going to speculate on that with any of us in the media but that’s how the process starts so it’s unlikely that a player of that significance that perfect fit for Calgary is is going to land anytime soon but they’re doing okay without it so maybe that’s part of the bigger list as you get into February hey guys thanks for watching be sure to check out more of our content right here on the Flames Nation YouTube page we had a bunch of great long form interviews you can check out some videos we’ve done as well outside of the studio and of course if you want more writing or merchandise stuff flamesnation doca or Nation gear.com
