I'm a simple human.. I see a new THG video I click "like". Without question.. The hardest working "reporter" regarding hockey. You provide a massive service to fans of the game. Thank you.

holy shit Calgary. This has been one of the wildest off-seasons ive ever remembered with the flames. Ive never seen a team lose two elite 100+ point players in the same year, yet look at the team and feel like they almost got better. Going to be very interesting to watch and see how that goes.

I'm an Oilers fan and I'm excited by this. I miss the days of when Alberta was the called the "Valley of Death," and the fact that people actually do wanna sign in Calgary means people will want to sign in Edmonton too. I do secretly love Calgary Flames and it will be easier to cheer for them now that Chucky is gone. I like Kadri but I imagine I'll come to hate him. Anyways, I'm happy to see the greatest rivalry in sports will stay healthy, there's no team I'd rather share this rivalry with!

Flames fans in June : “Fire Treeliving!!” Flames fans in August : “Praise Treeliving!!”

THG is the reason im informed about hockey 12 months a year . I hope you had a great vacation and thanks again for the hard work . God bless you and your family .

Oh man... So happy as a NYI fan that Kadri wasn't signed for 7 years. It was not the right fit and would have been a disaster long term. I think this makes sense for the Flames to be in win now mode in the next 2-3 years.

Amazing recovery from losing gaudreau and tkachuk

Gonna be honest, didn't think we'd be landing Kadri. Our cap situation is going to be a mess in about 4-5 years but this move confirms the Flames are going all in now.

Calgary fans are going to love Kadri. He's also real good at shutting down McDavid if they give him that assignment (as the Leafs once did). I think Calgary just got a whole lot better.

I'm pretty sure if I told someone 2 years ago that Coleman, Huberdeau, Toffoli and Kadri were going to be 4 of Calgary's top 6 forwards, someone would have called me a troll.

Thank you Kadri for giving it your all in Colorado, wish he stayed with us but you gotta do what you got to do.

It happened, they changed the core of the team. Giordano out, Tkachuk out, Gaudreau out and now Monahan is out. It didn't happen intentionally necessarily but what an interesting season we are going to have for the Flames. This feels like something that could only happen in a GM mode while playing NHL videogame because it happened so fast and they also kept their contenter status with the additions to the team.

Brad Treliving has replaced everyone who went out and that's amazing. Pleasantly surprised that Nazem Kadri did actually sign up with the Calgary Flames and glad that he did. Looking forward to him meeting with Evander Kane in the Battle Of Alberta.

As a Canucks fan I hope they don't look as good on the ice and they do on paper... But as a hockey fan I think they have certainly made the best of what started out as a rough offseason for them. I think they have come out of this better than they went in, I guess only time will tell, I am very Interested to see them play! Happy Birthday Mr. Treliving!

That top 6 core is still insane, I see Toffoli having a career year

congrats on 250k! keep it up

massive signing I really like the way Tre has dealt with the whole johnny hockey and chucky situation I bet the Oiler's fans ain't laughing any more lol

Things was really touch and go for a bit there, but glad things worked out, for the better imo. See you in the playoffs Calgary - signed an Oiler fan

Hell yeah! Calgary has made great moves thanks to the amazing GM and what he has done! So I am happy to see what happens and I am hoping they mesh well into amazingly awesome on the ice and let's push far into next year's playoffs!!! Love my team, Go 🔥 Go.

Gonna miss Kadri on the Avs but I wouldn’t have taken the 4/24 from them if I were Kadri either. Glad he didn’t go to the Islanders because he would’ve never sniffed another Cup there. Calgary is definitely interesting. I wish him well in every game except games against the Avs!

Congratulations on 250k, Shannon!

Love the channel and all the hockey content to get us through the off season...If it were up to me, think I'd switch dube and Coleman just because dube is still a young guy and could have some potential left but other than that I think you nailed it

I think Pelletier has got to be 3rd line with Backlund and Dube. Backlund is the perfect centre to pair a rookie winger with to teach him defensive responsibility and two way play. That being said, I don't think the Flames are done. They have a ton of defensive depth they can weaponize for some more help up front, and they still need to make a bit more cap space.

I wish Winnipeg did something like this. Very impressive comeback from the Flames.

Smart move by Kadri to pick somewhere else if its the same term & money. He remembers Lou's rule of needing to shave/no beards allowed for playoffs lol!

Huberdeau is a fantastic passer and Lindholm is kinda low-key a great shooter. I'm kinda excited to see what will happen if they find good chemistry with each other.

Even with Huberdeau, a lot of people were projecting Calgary to finish 3rd in the Pacific. I think with Kadri they are looking pretty solid for top 2.

To Frank Seravalli and Elliot Friedman a quote from Abraham Lincoln..."Better to remain silent and be thought a Fool than to speak out and remove all doubt".

These long term deals are such a gamble. Take it from me, I’m a Sharks fan. A few years ago we were dancing in the streets signing Karlsson, Kane, Burns, and Vlasic long term. A lot can happen 😅

What a deal! A little long, but you've gotta give to get. Tre certainly turned this off-season around

i guess i have a reason to go to the flames games now! lets go kadri.

All I can say is the Flames are now a better club. The entire dynamic and ego of certain players is gone. This will be a definite cup contender once these new players gel with the others. Look out Oilers, the SEA OF Red is refreshed and dangerous.. Thanks for all the hard work you out into these videos, always a pleasure spending time on this channel. 👍

I see a good season first or second in the Pacific for Calgary.Edmonton and Vancouver in the mix too hopefully

This Flames team is going to look completely different on the Ice this coming season. To me this off season has been one of the biggest in recently, a lot of trades and a bunch of players that signed new deals this summer. Can not wait until this coming season. My Avs have to be the Fav’s to hoist the Cup and repeat as Stanley Cup Champions. Thanks for all the hard work and all the up to date news.

Happy for the Flames. Cbj fan.

THG, you never fail to make me laugh since I started watching you a couple months back. Thanks big dog

Calgary was put in a tough situation this off-season, but they did a great job reshaping their team. Kadri will forever be an Avalanche legend.

If all the moves the Flames GM had to make this offseason work out, I'd have to think he would be the frontrunner for the GM of the Year Award.

I think Zadorov will be on the left and Weegar on the right but looks really good. Hard to have those types of losses and it not affect team chemistry: Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Monahan. But I agree with a lot of what you said here, excellent job on your videos as always mate.

I honestly can't believe it, we lost Gaudreau and Tkachuk yet somehow got better this offseason, GMBT deserves a statue.

I came here to get all the facts on the the Calgary news although I'm not a fan you always deliver in an entertaining way. kudo's

Woooooo the Flames are...on Fire!

It’s an arms race with Edmonton. I give Calgary credit they’re going for a cup. They’re not content with just being a playoff team.

Habs getting all the injured dudes.

This actually looks legit AF!

That bar rescue / TJ Miller trade value comment really got me 🤣🤣

...there's some steady hands...

Cant wait to see another battle of alberta in the playoffs

Damn, the whole Flames core changed in one off-season. When I’m not watching my Wings, I’m definitely keeping an eye on them, because that’s about to get interesting.

Its going to be a very interesting season. I wonder how the team will function toghether.

good trade for mtl. Like this for Calgary also, they are going for it so go all in. If they can somehow sign Weegar, they should have a nice window for a few seasons

The pacific is going to be very interesting.

That’s fine, actually that’s Great. Love Monahan, and I think he Can bounce back. I know He’s not a top6 forward anymore, but him on the same Line with Kirby Dach? .. ehm, yes please

We need dube to be consistent every season he goes through a part in the season where he can’t not score the end of last season he was scoring every game if he can keep that up that can be a scary player

I see the news board, I click like!

Huge Islanders fan here, I can't express how happy I am that Kadri is not an Islander. In my eye's the ISLES long term future shines brighter w/o Kadri and his 7/7 contract on the books.

I have been working stage jobs at the saddledome since last Oct and they had the 1st lines photos in the lower level, I wondered hey where is Monahan? then I found out due to his injuries he was centering the fourth line, he was finally the big first line centre Iginla needed, but never got. I'm glad they did get rid of Moneyhands, as his injuries took a toll. I was surprised Tkachuk and Gudreau left, as soon as I found out and had a gig at the dome I looked for his photo, but it was removed quickly. I didn't think Matt would leave, he seemed like a fan favourite, I'm happy we got Kadri as we know have 1a and 1b for centres, Lucic would be great to lose or retire. Hopefully we get a lot of good years out of Kadri, Backlund could be a good 3rd line centre, he's been there before, will he pout having to go back? I don't know. I'm more of a Hawks fan and again like Gudreau, can not believe they lost Debrincat.

I will take Kadri, he’s good and he replaces Tkachuk for the Physicality part. I do think the contract won’t be the greatest in 3-5 years, but We are trying to stay a competitive team right now. So I think these are probably the best moves Brad Treliving could’ve done this off-season after losing Gaudreau, Tkachuk

If you told me back in 2018ish that Calgary would not have Gaudreau, Tkachuk, and Monahan, and not be a complete dumpster fire, I would not have believed you in the slightest. Solid work from GMBT

For being in full panic mode they ended up in good shape. They do seem to be a bit weaker offensively though, see how that plays out for them.

I’ve always felt that Backlund fit so much better as a 3C. Their center depth is the best it’s been in a very long time, possibly ever.

Calgary.... might even be BETTER next year during the regular season. Definitely going to be harder to play against in the playoffs too.

That defence core is deep as fuck.....

Brad Treliving is a fine beast

My goodness, how many jerseys do you have Shannon? Your so fast in changing through all of them lol. You could have kept wearing the red one you had in the previous video.

GM did his job, now we get to see if the coach can do his. I wait with bated breath.

If Mangiapane can pick up where he left off and get better than sure we may have a chance. He had a good last season to start but did not really end as well near the end.

They obviously lost some strength down the wing but up the middle they got really strong

I actually really like Schwindt, 40 points in 72 games as a 21-year-old rookie in the AHL is pretty good. Hopefully he can just keep getting better.

Oilers fan here. Great moves by Calgary this summer after losing both Goo and Chucky. I have to say they're (at least on paper) a better team than last year. Huberdreau and Kadri are character guys and should play well within Sutters system. The long term contracts for both are not good but Calgary is in win mode now and should help the Flames for the next 3 seasons. Things got interesting for the BoA and I'm excited. I'm happy both teams are competitive and we need both teams pushing each other to be better. Go Oilers Go!

The flames off-season has a very Vegas feel to it , get better now deal with the cap later , only difference is they were kinda forced into this situation because Jonny hockey is a punk

Ten seconds ago in La Presse: Kent Hughes thinks Carey Price won't be able to play next season. There's one piece of the Monahan puzzle.

The Calgary flames and Montreal Canadiens are two teams that will be different this coming season than they were last season. I'm excited to see how things go for both teams this season.

To me, Calgary is taking a step back but they seemed in dire need of a shakeup of their core. It seems like they got softer at forward. Definitely a different direction. I have no dog in the fight, so this is just an outsider looking in.

Just adding that Dube should be the 2nd line rw. Pelletier could be on the third with Backlund and Coleman.

Impressive retool by Calgary after two stars wanted out.

Brad saved the team front what looked like sure disaster. Welcome to Calgary Naz. Excited to see ya

Mangiapane+Kadri is going to be an insanely hot duo

Did Calgary actually get better this off season? I think they did.

Gotta wonder what ages better, what Benning saddled Vancouver with (OEL) or Treliving for Calgary (Kadri).

I feel bad for Mony, hard to believe he was in the same draft class as MacKinnon and even Lindholm and even led that class in goals for the first few years. Hope his career gets back on track with Montreal. What a summer for Treliving! Can’t wait to see what Sutter can do with this team.

Good I’m glad for Calgary fans …

Huberdeau and Kadri are brilliant additions. Would Calgary be under pressure to go further should they reach the playoffs next season?

i have questions how does work out for Montreal, we didn't sign Dach and we get Monahan which is a center, so now we have Suzuki, Dvorak, Dach, Evans, Pitlick and now Monahan as centers sure we can put some on the wings but

The flames actually have 2.1M in free space according to CapFriendly right now.

Huberdeau and Kadri are known quality players so that makes them better instantly. Smart move was to dump some salaries along the way.

Curious if a cup contender trades for Monahan if he’s healthy and the Habs retain for a good sweetener

Now we get to see just how much he was carried by the Avalanche, if that was even a thing.

I think that The Calgary Flames are a better team this year than they were last year.

I may be bias being from Calgary but I think Treliving is one of the best GM’s in the league.

Rlly curious how this flames team will look.

Wonder what was left on the table in Colorado? Was it Colorado walking away or Kadri?

Can you please make a video about Kent Nilsson??? He is #10 in the NHL’s Highest Points Per Game List, Career (Minimum: 500 Points) and like me, I think many should learn a lot more about this guy. He seems like he must be the best Hockey Player “nobody knows or remembers”…. Thanks. I love what you do. Cheers!

When Shannon mentioned Yvonne giving him a smack and telling to snap out of it, all I could picture was Cher smacking Nick Cage.

5 bucks says CGY places higher than EDM in the Pacific Division this upcoming year. I mean come on! First they get Johnny Huberdeau and Mackenzie Weegar, albeit in exchange for one of their most talented players, and now this! Kadri just came off the Cup victory in Denver. Quite a rebuilding going on there.

curious if the number 23 he is wearing says "Nystrom" on the back

Calgary vs. Edmonton would be a great conference final, just saying.

I like the fit but not the term for Kadri, as most GMs probably felt as well

I change my mind... former first line is gone, but they were probably not returning to previous form with Monaghan's injuries. Huberdeau and Toffoli are a pretty effective 1st line. Flames have retooled pretty well. They look like a playoff team. Not winning the Pacific, but they'll get in.

Woooooooo go flames go 🔥🔥🔥🔥
