In other words Saskatchewan didn't think he was worth the money he wanted. Calgary disagreed and paid him. Which is basically what I'm talking about here... Calgary acquiring guys that other teams "don't have room for"... but somehow the best team in the league does.

You don't know he wasn't going to re-sign, that's speculation.

That situation isn't as simple as you'd like to believe. There are pro-Russian separatist factions within Ukraine. But I guess you know better than they do. How much time have you spent there? I'm eager to hear about your experiences.

You could make that argument but Sask also gave him away for a 3rd round pick and a kicker. And now they signed a backup Cdn RB to a starter's contract while Messam thrives in Calgary. Maybe you could put that one on Sask stupidity rather than anything special by Calgary.

So you don't think fostering a better relationship with Russia would be beneficial?

Jerome Messam?

Speak for yourself, you sure don't speak for me

I don't remember him... must have been a little before my time.

Can't win with an impotent top 6 and those guys are not easy to acquire in the NHL these days. It takes years to build a top 6.

Hey pretty close

I totally agree about Kohlert but the point is that Calgary seems to find a way to revive guys' careers. I still remember in 2011 when Marquay McDaniel got benched and then released from the Ticats. How has that worked out?

I like to think that he is being sarcastic and pointing out how odd it is how much the left hate Russia. I never quite know with Trump but I'm pretty sure he won't be attacking any Russian ships any time soon.

Lol will anyone be surprised if Kohlert puts up 800-1000 yards this year? ******* Calgary.

mbrg likes to think he (she?) is the smartest person in every thread and it results in some pretty condescending posts, try not to take it personally.

LeFevour was my top choice out of the FA QBs so I'm pretty happy to see him here.

Woah woah woah, the Pens game hasn't even started yet!

Stunning!

Not Regina, there are none. Bandwagoners mostly.

Ahhh Donald is so refreshing. My favourite politician of all time.

No, I don't think they will. Through the expansion draft alone, sure, but they also can sign free agents. They'll have no problem getting to the floor. "Better off than previous expansion teams" isn't a very high mark to hit. Most expansion teams struggled for a decade before seeing anything resembling success. I don't see that as being sustainable.

IMO they should just be given pick #1. They are going to be total **** in their first season.

He missed 2014 due to a major injury and never seemed to regain his form. He was an allstar guard at one point but at 33 years old.... don't think he's making a comeback. Could be a good depth guy I guess, if he can play centre. Not much use for a 6th OL who can only play guard, IMO.

I thought Laing has been playing DT for the last few years.
