A Major Shift in Calgary… Are The Flames Building Something BIG?? | BB Clips

About this episode

Boomer, Pinder and Rhett break down a massive shift for the Calgary Flames after a series of major moves that reshaped the roster and loaded the organization with draft capital. With Nazem Kadri moved at the deadline following earlier deals involving MacKenzie Weegar and Rasmus Andersson, the guys debate whether this aggressive reset has quietly set Calgary up for a bright future. Is this the start of a smart long-term rebuild, or will fans have to wait years to see the payoff? The crew dives into the strategy behind the moves, what all those picks could turn into, and whether the Flames’ future might actually be starting to look pretty good.

It's that's true. Dean. It's not our way here. We just Do a rank coming Weager trays like what jeez Yeah, that seems pretty good in the message God trade cadre. I'll see honours. I could eat money. God didn't use son of Well honours eat money and the Codra deals and for a first a first plus plus plus plus what Prospect prospect. There's a bill. I think they're still building the building down there Don't think they stopped and they're gonna follow that through. I think they probably got to join us They were closer to being done than we are to tear it down now. I think they're gonna finish it

If you're calling in sick today because you're all tired from the week I think we got to get back sorry boys. We're in we got this mechanic. We got to build this What the hell's going on? Because usually we'll come in here after something just why couldn't they have that how does this like it's okay But shouldn't you could you just don't just feels like that extra? It's like well, okay, that's good, but Would have really made sense or have been good if this also could have happened whereas I feel like Keepin' Coleman's okay. You didn't trade the hall. You didn't trade Lombard like nothing There's nothing to kind of flip it To being a a negative. I told you guys all day Friday You just have to have confidence and it'll get done. There was no issues in my mind I knew it was covering. That's sure. That's what you're saying. I was 100% I was 20% I had a pipeline. I had a direct line to the War room down at Saddle Dome Rise way of place. Look at that chair where you're sitting and There was some heat from that vice like

Hey Jack, like there was some real there was I we had one of those heat maps There was definitely this a glowing area over by the by the red chair there Not I'm I'm confused as to what you're referring to Well, we were first 10 minutes of the show had it quite a lot of stuff because there's no food. I came in here Yeah, I was cuz back to food. It does. Yeah, the The story coming into the day was there was a Quadradield to be done with Colorado, but because the owner of the flames wouldn't eat money It was squashed and Colorado went and traded for Nicholas one instead took their first round pick and their assets They traded it away. So then that chicken started squawk As it turns okay, Colorado had more than one first round pick And they were prepared to move it to if need be it really felt like Nick while plugged the whole but God are they even deeper They're gonna have like two centers at wing. This is yes, holy fox card to scroll hot

Yeah, cool great news. Oh I was surprised I did have to scroll back for when we finally got the full return Right, you're like That's a That's great. That's a really and it's not and it's not gonna be a shot anymore Well done, but we're kind of Surprised at good pieces of business It's a new area. It's it's it's refreshing It makes sense. That's a good deal. Okay. Yeah, all right. Yeah, everything seems to kind of be Making sense towards yeah, we're gonna trade Rasmus Anderson. Okay, we gotta do a boss Wait, oh, he's not going there. Well, I guess we treat him as a rental and we straight him to Vegas and we get a Okay, it's pretty good Well, why not it's fine because we've had Confidence, but we also had major concerns, especially if it was a night in Buffalo part of this franchise where you're like

Is Connie on the same page as other people because what I hear him saying and I see him doing does not match what they are saying publicly and That was maybe Shook some confidence in the sense that like Like how many hands are on the wheel here, but when you look at Action and ignore whatever public facing blah blah blah. There is They're doing exactly what they want them to do in fact probably even more than we would have expected weger and Audrey Like this is a full-scale Rebuild they've removed all risk of father-time hitting their roster and looking to buy out some things like that and You've really done a great job of positioning yourself to get a very very high pick this year. I heard him say rebuild You did I'm gonna put this one out right now A week or more ago when you and I specifically I think Pinder you weren't too far off of it But we were maybe exaggerating to make a point or maybe we were just put would you I'd put cadre on waivers if you could

Just get him and the money just he's 30 whatever. It's just not gonna end well I would just take nothing don't Connie. Don't worry about the return. You're not gonna just need to go and And Jade all was in I Think you guys are seriously undervaluing what kind of a return you could get for Nazum Codry It's like oh, maybe so but But you're an idiot so what a third of their cash. What are we talking about? I thought at the time and I'm more glass half full the most that a second and a good prospect would have been when you heard Dragor say there were reasonable offers other that's what I had mad and That's not a hall and then you started to see The deals of deadline week. I don't think a winger got much and every center was worth a ton Yeah, when old Nikki while like Nick wall was worth quite a bit more than Connor Garland than Bobby Macman like Yeah, okay Interesting, that's I think that was part of what led to our fear Was that this felt not only like the the one time over the course of this cadre deal that he was a

Traderable asset that you could get something back, but this deadline was the prices were very good when we heard While went for a first and a third and that had soared the flames That's why we were hot because they're like are you so Because in our brains were like so you could get a first and a third For sure because Codry's a better player. So what held it up? There's only one thing that could hold it up money That's great if you do it if you could have said then It's a first a third and 50% retention do it done. Oh, I got to ask Jesus. Yes, you got to get it done here Back said it immediately We had thought if there was a first on the table it would be done already in a sense and maybe it's just the deadline and getting best offers but that's a hall and And When Shen went is when I went on my like give us the bleep and keys. I believe yeah, you I believe you hit the coach I believe there was a yes because a slap break and Shen

Father time is already got one hand on him like you're watching the decline and He's still a good player, but he was for the last two or three deadlines dangled and You're like was worth way less now than he was then because he's not the same player he was and he got that like Nazms a better player and that doesn't mean brain Shen isn't a good player because I think he is and I think he'll help the the aisles But goodness when that deal came through. It's like if they don't move him today You have missed the peak not only to your point does he have value with his contract But be it was so clearly a seller's market the opposite of the nonsense we heard a month a week ago that there was not a Better time to sell a center and Nazim at this point of the contract with his play where it is was probably a peak value I think they timed the peak I do too. I think they Because I'll Riley would and we were hoping to check wouldn't move and we thought a Riley really likes it in Nashville and they're close enough that maybe their hesitant and it's the last ride for trots and oh, we're gonna treat it like it's a no trade even though it doesn't have one like if those two guys don't move

all that the perfect storm you talked about Nevermind just the Nazim Calgary ownership team play Boxes getting checked, but then also the market just was perfect to sell Nazim They yeah, they basically They they said to us fellas We know we're doing over here You guys hang out in the loop and you're a little thing you go do the haircare place upstairs We'll do we'll do this Trust your potato salad insights. Yeah, that's right Good gravy recipe. Love your buns, but So yeah, there's there's the trade and it's 20% retention over 50 inches 1.4 a year peanuts like which yeah, what's I say 30% Oh for what we were prepared to do um I don't know is there any chance that Victor Olafson can uh

Well, the thing about Olafson I kind of laughed when we read the J freshers Pretty much everything in his game, but his shot Leaves to be desired. It's one thing they need if if the flames have a shooter that'd be okay He's a ufa So I don't know that he is here much more than the end of this season, but you never know and I think him being a ufa It's probably in the best interest of the player and the club to play the piss out of give some power player reps Is you have perfect player absolutely not, but I looked at it Half an hour ago His first full three seasons in the league because he plays in rochabit. Yeah, sweet. He's a buffalo saber He has 53 goals in his first 182 games now there's some lockout short and there's some injuries blah blah blah It's a 24 game 24 goal pace for his first three full seasons in the league 24 goal scores I mean say we what look at this bloody roster there's there isn't one on this team Well enough to say he could be that guy now, but like it's a very nice He was a very

desirable piece of the of the sabers for yeah, he was one of the few bright spots. It's like the sabers had that look at this guy they found Yeah, so I will see what that is they have just a huge glut of wingers and we can get it later, but like If you get Hansek back and you look at expiring contracts They already have too many wingers for next year and that's fine You can move Coleman at the draft and you could theoretically parcel a forward out in another transaction But I just don't like for him to come back. You've got to move out probably three guys Yeah, I don't know where Hubertos at in terms of like when we expect them to return But if he plays it all next year you're already at 1112 Like the wingers especially like centers they got four Depending what they do with Beecher. I presume Who? But not that it matters. I would guess you would think about starting the season without Hubertos I've right it's my Intel is that do not expect to be there. Yeah, and that given that and given the nature of the surgery There's not a lot of guaranteed hard timelines here. This could be it. This could be in mid-season

This could be three quarters of a year. Who knows? Yeah But that was I mean you kind of this is a master class maybe we're way off Because we sit here and all we do is talk about this one team over and over and over again every day But there were a lot of days From the time this contract the cadre has that from the time it was signed until Friday There was a good chunk of that where it was you can't buy it out and you can't trade them Who's doing who the favor we kept asking like if you're moving Nazim They do and you the favor you doing them the favor Yeah, and then they found a window in there and I think at any point this year they would have done well But again The deadline everyone's best offers always there don't know that no I mean if they you think if they had that package on the table in November they wouldn't pull the trigger The owner might not have said We don't have to do it yet. It's not about like right wrong or this is a hard and fast rule But they did very well at the time that you hope you do well deadline You see some over bit to me. I wonder if that's also kind of what we're seeing

In the last little bit is maybe the change in philosophy we talk we joke about re-biggle and what's said But I wonder if if ownership is also At that point too Where they're seeing what we've been griping and whining about Because they've they've started eating salary They ate undressed was they didn't Mark's room is mark's room was I was not peanuts now this one is it's 20% but it's for a considerable amount three years And they have cap space and that's all of that sort of thing but still it's a It's a move by ownership here In in retaining salary and in trading away veterans and trading away They have traded away the best pull the better player in all of these deals as of late They're not right there's their hardcore sellers which is what rebuilding teams do and maybe they're over it and it's time Because it does feel like there's a shift until now there's been deadlines and just things like man When are they ever going to just buy it when are they ever going to turn the page just look in the mirror right like you feel like

We're maybe there I would I don't think I was their grand plan because I don't think that's their approach But it got it kind of slapped him in the face and said this is what you are So I do think they have opened their eyes to what they really are now when you had 96 points last year that probably Sully the water a bit hundred percent because it's like we were a tie-breaker getting in okay record is the blessing This time it because start is and I don't think the record surprises them But they probably had plan A plan B plan A as we get off to a great start and we're in the mix And we sort of we work around the edges I always believed there was a plan B where it's like We know this with this roster a lot of things have to go right like if wolf has a mediocre year Not a great year like you did last year or you get an injury to a center which luckily didn't yeah or you just Maybe the the magic of last year is in there they I think they were always prepared for this season to go the way it has I think the hockey people were yeah, and that's not let me disrespect to the ownership or whatever

But I always wondered how far can you do you have to convince what kind of a sell job does Conroy the Handmishing up. Yeah, I wondered what the the new rink has it Yeah, a saying all this right. Oh, yeah, I think it does But everyone you talks now is a good have a bunch of new kids in that new rink and let's go Yeah, you know, no one's expecting to be a contender when it opens But if you're young and exciting and you've got a if you can sell hope in that new building People are going to want to see the building and buy into the hope shaffer but hard Celebrating it It's hard to deny Yeah, these kids are having On their new teams. So maybe that's also something that's like Jesus Even the least The least talked about first overall is the guy who was the most anticipated in Bedard right he was Generational with you I think it's a big part of it. I that helps a sales job if you need one

It's the we if we draft high the this is the type of player not only can they impact what is on the ice is immediately But it can change just the whole tone of the franchise Think about what sannos a has been through because I think they made the playoffs 15 to 16 years or 16 to 17 They were incredible. Detroit. They never got over the hump And then they had what they just went through which was so painful at times last year you see in seven eight nine thousand fans in a building Like it's easy to say Rep it down to the studs rebuild Harder for an owner to watch the the revenue side of the ledger You can't stand and then when now you look at them this year You're fighting for a playoffs are their points out of a playoffs bot. They've got a superstar You're like, yeah, I was worth it How could it not be superstars? Well, maybe one superstar I mean, I'm like full of stars as well like yes a guy that led the Olympics and scoring And now it's like okay, we had some tough years But does it not feel like they've got 15 years of great hockey out of them Like a player like that. Yes. Well, it does

100% 15 years? Well, what we've we've had a beef about is you've tried to portray this as a successful run And it's like we have them in playoffs this before years or what are we talking about success? We're already in a rebuilding situation. You could try and tell us that we're it's like no, no, no, no The Weger deal was in hindsight such a Hi Hi, this is Pablo Tore from Pablo Tore finds out and today I want to talk to you about boost mobile Because we spent a lot of time analyzing inefficiencies in sports over value contracts money tied up in the wrong places and so on But those inefficiencies aren't just on a roster Sometimes they're in your own monthly expenses boost mobile says switching to their $25 unlimited forever plan can unlock up to $600 in savings a year That's $25 a month for unlimited data talk and text when you bring your own phone If that money is trapped in a pricey phone bill it might be worth a second look

Outside of a few situations like when you moved marks germ away you had wolf right there Yeah, I had to figure out what he was and that was only one year left on his deal Everyone else was you have faced out so it's just while we have to be good asset managers Obviously we either extend or trade Tana of Hanuffin Rasmus UFA You know lend home on and on and on and on it went those are the obvious plays But when you see a guy with five years left That's the change in philosophy. It's like whoa. Oh, yeah one of these ain't like the other ones And you know what and that's stuff that you talk about that that feels like a long time That's not ancient history Hanuffin was Two seasons ago. I think that was not that they're all eight times eight Like they were talking about even an Anderson extension. There has been this desire to Just kind of push it forward and keep it rolling with the older guys until very recently And I'm with you. I think that that the weaker one specifically And maybe it was Utah being aggressive. Did they know something about Sergei Chev or it's a new team with an excited Here's the guy we can get

But to trade away Great guy in the community popular guy in the room plays a ton of minutes a leader of tons of years of term left Bad year Bad year. I yet that almost makes it Potentially even better is you were able to recognize it and not just Oh, let's let's maybe use some let's let's be forward thinking yeah The package allows us to do something. They've positioned themselves Ideally, but it's still now. Hey scout Don't trust the ball. Yeah, I'm less worried about that philosophy But what it is is that the guys that are going to be your core Most of them aren't here yet. Yeah, like that. There's some leaners. That's what I'm worried about to a certain extent I know they've not thrown it in the towel. So this is kind of Waving the white flag finally. So But those middling picks were Russian. He's good. It's not a it's not a criticism

But you now need to find Top end stuff. Yeah, because all of our Huffman and moan complain and bitch and yelling is all based on superstar status Right, which is not easy to find you can draft high and effort You can finish last like the wings and not ever draft. Yeah, so we reserve the right to be pissy again if you If you mess this up. Yeah, I like the process finally. It's exciting Okay, yeah, that's is is it a is there a ton of importance around it for sure there is Because you don't want to go through all of this and then squander this opportunity But it's exciting the draft lottery is an exciting night the draft Now it looks So that's just this deadline. That's not like that's this nevermind the the sales they made two years ago when it was lent home tannels adora of How's that we could do Keeps picking up player the weeks

Abram we've got it's when insight defense. Did you have insight? Oh? Huge insight. I said him something about that kid He's had a monster junior. They'll sign him. You can't let think I go back for a senior season. He's that good now Like you cannot risk losing him for nothing It's like you're coming he's gonna play for the ranger as a spring unless No deck goes on a run where the tournament keeps him so late. There's no team for him to join their sign I can't go that late can It's really close if they get to see the the frozen for final game and the end of the HL schedule I haven't looked this year, but typically it's like only a bit about a week away But why wouldn't you bring them up and play them in an NHL game that's if you're still playing yeah for sure And there would be a little bit of remin that you're right on a personal. I'm not to get all for the physics But we all like caught it caught you love caught right For the first year so it felt our GM's picking on the nice guy the new guy Oh, you know, he wants to you got a trademark stromer to fuller without what are you not con right? They'll squeeze the new guy

Well the new guys arrived new guys not new guy anymore new guy. He's you know what nice guy But I think he is demonstrated here in the last if calendar year Not all those other deals were fun, but I think now when teams are calling Calgary. It's like loss Guys got a shit together. He knows what he's doing the linoum deal was in a massive win Uh, they could have got two months of met Lindholm and you've got five pieces two of them being yeah Verstevich and gridden who's the most important piece and then you also parlayed Because net's off into some younger guys to see if they turn note to still like that. That's a whale of a deal The tan of one. It's it's crazy to see The players that have moved for second rounders the last two three deadlines. He's the best by a mile He should have got more, but that it was what was he was going down the tunnel every week Like we lived that words like take less to make sure he's not hurt But each year that's past You're starting to see him get better and better value for similar assets Oh

Something I was just gonna. Anyway, because we can we can move on from it. You mentioned the weeb kid Yeah, no, it's You know what I was going to say is the The Philadelphia deal is maybe the one that doesn't fall in with the frost and ferriby The deals have all been we're sinking. We're selling off players Out goes to Foley out goes Markstrom out goes Hanuffin tan of Right When you start to turn the corner and now you're spending assets to try and get better when you're bringing in the players to then mesh in Like no one that no one that you've brought in you have to worry But well how's he going to work with so and so is it going to be a good fit for this sentiment for this wing or are they going to be a good pair in the blue line You're just bringing in stuff And it's not easy, but that's one piece of business When you now have to be okay, we're not trading away at first for this rental for this player Does he work with what we're doing that'll be the next test for him down the road I think but for some time But for now six first rounders the next three years

Eight second rounders the next three. I've had a bunch of people. So what do you do with these picks? Do everything with them some well pick them when you have this many picks you have plenty of options You can package to move up you can package for players you can pick them those are your three options They'll do I think there are too many to pick now Pick them You run into contract um and roster issues, but again the the move they even made all of them in is the perfect example Like jake of particulars having a down year after a dominant year last year and you're like okay He's no longer a top 10 prospect in a row We got a lot of guys in his age group. We'll move them out for some h-off You can always do that so you can pick them all and then Just scarred of the ones you don't like for more presence and I think they'll do all three I think they'll add players at some point I think they'll package to move up and I think they'll draft a lot of kids they got so many I don't want you to package to get Prospects well I don't want you to get guys that are in the league There's a reason this teams are giving up on players and not even giving up but

So if you're trading picks to move up on the draft great. Yeah, if you're trading because there's a There's a kid in the Carolina organization that doesn't have a path onto the team Great But don't not yet anyway not for we've got the 2028 or something sure we could revisit And you'll find times like I remember when the cap was tighter like Arizona got a second With Shane Goss is really if you find a stress situation where you can get a good player and we feel like these are gone, right? The cap is saying with all the picks Don't be afraid. Just don't go out at 29-year-old who needs to get paid into that doesn't fit your window But if you can get a 23-year-old that's blocked hell yeah move out of cup But I feel like we don't even need I'm not worried. I feel like I don't we don't even need to tell him It's just like he's fine. They've taken a lot for four years.

He'll help somebody put someone on their back Ikel is kind of that guy stones out, but they just I've had for it. I guess to my boys. Where are they going to finish because you've got that pick Mm-hmm if it's You know 20 20 17 So six for Hey, I see you've got the 10 pick What if we give you this Vegas pick and so And they're gonna be careful with that you know, well, you have to love a guy, right?

Yeah, that's the flexibility you have wouldn't have been nice without all those pieces I love puzzles. That's the only thing is a puzzler when you Has on how I am? I got a bunch of stuff like I could just like kind of with cadre. I got so many of these I could just burn a few of them. I'll never even miss them Well, there's still things though, right? Like Maybe down the road where you look back and be like I was stupid to turn or back for them Yeah, I was What do you want nine more picks to get into the top 10? Put it there partner What are there? Well, we did give cadre away for nothing. So And honestly like In the moving up thing if it allows you to get a player that you were not able to get that you're like Okay, we've got two of our scouts of gold star. This guy Connie really loves him. He's not gonna fall to us Yeah, we'll get him. Yeah, move up. Go get him as long as if you if you trust your scouts And I think they do after the last two draft classes when you pull You know an 18-year-old leading the nation and scoring out of the fifth round like you you guys know how to find talent

They've they've met the bets on talent And if you see a guy just out of your reach with your pick go move up Go get the guy you want If you could get this winnow to your system soon too F was that all about they were all from March so I'll give them the one that was cute but I was at calls too. Yeah, and they've been a shitty routine Did you see the rod the bot? There's a couple comments Get to some of them when we talk about tonight's game But I know they showed in the broadcast the rod brinda more comments after the deadline came and went and they brought in what Nick Deloria Yeah, yeah, the guys were hoping we could have done something we mentioned the last year. They kind of we've been robbed as Even strapping hard here and Guys were hoping for a little bit of something, but let's see a unique relationship with him in the team Remember a hard that extension was where they wouldn't pay a market and you're like you realize this guy would go make five plus Other places like why do you have to screw your Hall of Fame Former player and current coach. It's too much not to Feel like there's something what I think rod is confident enough and his ability where he's like I don't have kiss my ass

Yeah, yeah exactly I die on this if I'm making them two million under market. I'm telling you how I'm feeling Yeah, and and Don Woodell who was the GM there for a long time quietly Didn't extend and went to Columbus the same offseason I've only one reason why I think Columbus ain't a better team Columbus ain't low in prospects because he's probably making way under what a GM should make him wow and what are the headaches You got to deal with the owner And that's the same reason you're not making where the GM should make Why would you make a less than lateral move probably to get paid your value and Yeah, we're speculating But you know if the money would be one thing it would also just be some autonomy the ability to do your job Looking for soccer analysis more knowing than a Carlo Ancelotti eyebrow raise with the World Cup around the corner Join me next russian and the Guardians expert soccer journalists on football weekly for all the latest soccer action and news throughout the week We'll come a more ground than Drew Bellingham and a Champions League final with conversations sharper than an arsenal set piece
