I wanna see Klapaka at the nhl level for at least the next few seasons while we retool

Klapka for the Wolfman (Dustin : clap clap clap) you gonna dig him till the day you die!

We need klapka to stay in the nhl long term and develop he’s a mutant you can’t find 6’8 that easily

I'm not too bothered if none of them make it to the NHL. We need to prioritize the prospects we draft NOW and for the next couple of seasons, while continuing to play guys like Zary, Coronato, and Wolf

Sens fans are protecting Shane Pinto like the secret service protects the president 😂

There is no way prospects and youngsters is the way forward for the flames when stats are proving what I say

Sure hope the Flames give Sam Morton a look for the first bit of the season, maybe he can even play his way into a spot in training camp. Dude has a nose for the net, need more guys like him!

I think it's important to see what we have in these guys at the very least. This upcoming season should be used to cycle alot of prospects into the lineup for 10ish game stints.

I don't think Klapka s/b on that list. He just finished his second year in the A and improved his production from .42 PPG to .7 PPG year over year and was over a PPG in the playoffs. Not sure how much more could have been expected. If he has a summer like last year I think he will make the team out of camp. I don't think the clock on Schwindt is running out. I think he projects as a third/fourth line center and is trending along those lines. I don't see much of a future for Nikolaev. I hate giving up on players too early. I feel like we may have done that with Emelio Petterssen most recently. Until we have guys knocking at the door from this upcoming draft I see no need to move on from guys. We just graduated several prospects as you mentioned and I don't see a lot of need for roster spots after this upcoming season. Thx for the shout out. I have been a lurker since less than 2% were subscribed. But I had to join in. No one can match your enthusiasm. It is infectious...in a good way. ;-)

The flames don't officially own their 2025 1st, i dont think we can use it as comoensation in an offer sheet scenario.

Klapka has ties to New York Rangers!!

Ty for the update Mark Keep up thr good work

My point is being proven klapka 1 goal in 6 and schwindt 0 goals in 4 prospects are not good enough

How is an offer sheets good idea. We need to build in the draft in this rebuild. Yes I say rebuild. They are obviously ready to do that. To offer sheet we need to give up picks. Why would we give up the picks that will help the process. Also it's a blessing the flames haven't got debrusk. Knowing Calgary they will over pay for him when he is now in the tail end of his prime and potential. He is a perennial 40 point guy. We have many of those already. Yes he has grit but so does Pospisil if we were going to get debrusk that's who he would replace. I'm fine with what we have.

Nikoleav again 3 goals in 3 years and 35 games and it's just not good enough
