Calgary Flames Be A GM: C of Red

[TMLGilmour93]

Hey Guys,

It has been a long time gone for me but I am back with a Calgary Flames GM Mode. I am not quite sure if I am going to blow it up or slowly retool the team, but I suppose I shall wait and see how the team does. I sim games and just take a GM's role. As you can see I won't be making flashy posts but ones that get right into the nitty gritty of what I have done or how the team has done.

To start off the team has a ton of UFA's and RFA's all coming up this offseason. I think this will end up in me selling off a bunch for picks and prospects but the season aim is 42 wins.

I just started the preseason with a road game in Vancouver. The team lost 2-1 in a SO with Stempniak scoring with assists to Stajan and Tanguay.

2 days later GM Jay Feaster announced his first trade of the 2011-12 season by sending RW David Moss (81) and a 2012 5th Round pick (CGY) to Nashville in return for RW Jordan Tootoo (81)

If anyone wants an update on a team or player and how they are doing, just ask. Also, I will periodically ask for what could be good to ask for or recieve for in a trade for certain players.

Thanks and I hope a couple of you follow!

Hey Guys,

HOME: 4-2 W over Trade: September 29^th, 2011
G Henrick Karlsson (81) + LW Pierre-Luc Leblond (74) to lace w:st="on">Winnipeglace> for C Patrice Cormier (78) + 2012 4^th Round Pick (WNP)

What do you all think of the acquisitions of Jordan Tootoo and Patrice Cormier and what I gave up for them? Too much, too little? Do you find them realistic?

In all fairness, there has been more than you with that name, and it is quite a familiar phrase with any Calgary fan.

Also note, I do not see the name Quackjack anywhere in my post!

I would also like to note that I had no intention of stepping on anyones toes.....webbed or not.

Says the guy that traded for Malkin and Stamkos.

The main thing is to stick with it TML. I'd like to see a proper rebuild since Dynasty didn't finish his. Good Luck.

Thanks man, I like your chise too, I like seeing what you do with your teams. Any thoughts on the current trades? I have one more just before opening game that I am about to post.

Just as the Calgary Flames were warming up for the season and home opener for the 2011-12 season, everyone noticed that Scott Hannon left the warm up very early after being called over to the bench. The Flames had a rough go with their home opener against a regenerated Pittsburgh Penguins squad with both Crosby and Malkin in the lineup. Crosby and Malkin both chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists each.

After the game a press conference was held in the main lobby of the Saddledome and GM Jay Feaster announced that Scott Hannon was traded to the Buffalo Sabres in return for young Canadian gun, Zach Kassian.


Trade: October 8^th, 2011
D Scott Hannan (83) to Buffalo for RW Zach Kassian (75)

Home: 5-1 L to Pittsburgh
