Flyers at Flames "Please Olli don't get hurt tonight" Open Game Thread


I figured since we've been talking about it all day, those of ice with Center Ice will be tuned in to the game tonight, might as well keep each other amused as we pray for Olli Jokinen's continued good health.




Olli Jokinen

#21 / Center / Calgary Flames

6-3

215

Dec 05, 1978

Messier has zero experience, and is about as dumb a choice as could be made to replace Sather. Or even be his ‘understudy’ at this point.

If this does go through I think it’s a shrewd move by Sather. You dump long term salary and you take a flyer on a really talented guy. If he doesn’t work you still have time to flip him at the deadline to a contender for a pick (maybe get the 3rd rounder we wasted on Boyle back). If it does work and they show some sustained signs of life, maybe you change your thinking a little. Just a VERY little. Slats demonstarted last year that he is capable of getting able bodies with expiring deals.

from hendricks hockey:

Calgary is still a significant player in the Kovalchuk sweepstakes. Calgary is working hard to clear the room to add Kovalchuk. They feel if they can clear the room now they will make a huge offer before the deadline and if not they can still get him on the UFA market. The Rangers and Kings have also made offers for Kovalchuk but it appears the Rangers offer was very low. If Atlanta would allow serious teams to talk to Kovalchuk and his agent they would have much bigger offers coming in. The Kings seem to be putting in a very good offer, we will see what happen’s.

ah.

on the upside, all the core players are returning, so in theory, they could very well return to the Championship game.

plus as long as Jared Allen is strong and able, I feel comfort in the defense.

think about it. dion and jay bo both get 6.5 and staal has just as many points and we all know he is much better defensively.

by Michael Gleich on Feb 2, 2010 12:56 AM EST up reply actions  

or 5/18 might be better.

by WalkerNYRanger on Feb 2, 2010 12:59 AM EST up reply actions  

no way he signs that long for under 3 mil. cam barker got over 3 mil a year for 3 years.

by Michael Gleich on Feb 2, 2010 12:59 AM EST up reply actions  

lets say u do 3/10…then he gets a new deal in 3 years as a 26 year old top flight d-man? u think he signs for less than 4-5 mil a year?

by Michael Gleich on Feb 2, 2010 1:01 AM EST up reply actions  

that would be about right, but we don’t have rozy then. so we can afford it.

by WalkerNYRanger on Feb 2, 2010 1:03 AM EST up reply actions  

so lets say 3-10 + 5-22.5…u see how this works in the cap era? now u have paid 8/32.5 and ending up spending more cap space and more salary that way

by Michael Gleich on Feb 2, 2010 1:04 AM EST up reply actions  

Yeah, i liked your deal. I just don’t see a guy that young signing a 13 yr deal. I’d love it if happened though.

by WalkerNYRanger on Feb 2, 2010 1:06 AM EST up reply actions  

his was 13/72 but staal isnt the same offensive player.

by Michael Gleich on Feb 2, 2010 1:07 AM EST up reply actions  

If we spend that much next year though, that would probably Girardi is gone. That would be great to lock staal down though.

by WalkerNYRanger on Feb 2, 2010 1:09 AM EST up reply actions  

3.8 mil is 500K more than ur 3/10 deal.

by Michael Gleich on Feb 2, 2010 1:09 AM EST up reply actions  

Yeah, either way Girardi is gone. That’s a huge raise though from his entry level contract. I just hope Sather doesn’t low ball him and he pulls a dubi.

by WalkerNYRanger on Feb 2, 2010 1:11 AM EST up reply actions  

its not actually for top players at their positions. Toews and Kane got theirs off entry levels, Kessel just got his on an entry level

by Michael Gleich on Feb 2, 2010 1:13 AM EST up reply actions  

Yeah, plus Staal will be worth even more when we can afford to pair him with another decent D-man.

by WalkerNYRanger on Feb 2, 2010 1:16 AM EST up reply actions  

which is why u lock him up early and cheaper with the lure of guaranteed money

by Michael Gleich on Feb 2, 2010 1:18 AM EST up reply actions  

also they have higgins 2.5 mil, prospal 1.1 and girardi’s 1.55 to sign girardi back and whatever other moves

by Michael Gleich on Feb 2, 2010 1:12 AM EST up reply actions  

yes i know higgins 2.25 is gone but i used kots 3 mil (higgy + kots) is exactly olli 5.25

by Michael Gleich on Feb 2, 2010 1:14 AM EST up reply actions  

just saying in the cap era, when u go short and cheap it costs u more cap space later. we already did that with dubi and cally and will end up paying more in a year than if we had gone 3-4 years this past summer is my point.

Calgary management must be on crack. I don’t think any of these recent trades for them have resulted in a net advantage. They looked awful tonight. Not that I care!
Great move for us, and in a way, I’m more excited about Prust than Jokinen. A little more toughness is what we need.

A post by a Flames fan explains it all lol

Flames fans breathe a sigh of relief now that Joker’s unproductiveness and massive contract are gone, but the faces of relief quickly change to faces of disgust at the mediocrity of Kotalik and the fact that they just got an American Joker in Higgins and he’s sticking around for 2 more seasons.

I realize I`ll be crucified by my fellow Canuck fans for saying this, but I really like Nigel Dawes. Beautiful hands and great speed, awesome pick up for Calgary management, do you guys think Sutter will take Bernier and his stone hands for him?

PLEASE. WATCHING HIM TRY TO STICKHANDLE IS LIKE WATCHING JOHN TRAVOLTA ACCIDENTALLY SHOOT MARVIN IN THE FACE OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
