Rumors: 2024-25 Season

[GrandWazoo]

Looks to me he's asking for a spot on the big club.

I heard one of the main issue is he thinks he’s NHL ready and Winnipeg doesn’t.

 

[GrandWazoo]

I think so too. Either way, just in case it's still confusing on our CGY pick for taking Monahan (still can't believe Hugh's coup here) that's a part of this rumour...

For 2025, if both Calgary and Florida picks are not in the bottom 10, then we get the better of the two picks in 2025. If Calgary’s pick is top 10 and Florida’s pick is not top 10, then we get Florida’s pick.

If we get very lucky (anything is possible) and Florida finishes bottom 10, then:

- If both Florida and Calgary finish bottom 10 and Calgary's pick is not 1st overall, we get Calgary's 2025 pick (best case is 2nd overall)
- If both Florida and Calgary finish bottom 10 and Calgary's pick IS 1st overall, then we get a 2025 3rd round pick from Calgary AND the better of Calgary's or Florida's 2026 1st round picks, unprotected. So a slim chance at 1st overall in 2026.

IMO, just based on all that, I don't trade away the potential at 2 chances (our pick) in 2026 (as slim as it is for the Mony pick) for Mackenna PLUS two recent 1st round pick prospects. I simply don't think its worth it for a prospect like McGroarty.

I’m not that attached to that pick, I don’t see a realistic scenario where Florida is a top 10 pick.

I think Groats insisted that he be handled differently than Perfetti. That would rub me the wrong way if I’m the Jets

Its not as if he will be spending many years in the minors

He is being a dick but bent nose should off given his few games last year , common with all top end NCAA players.

I do see where the flames could be 11 though

Given games and guaranteeing a roster spot are two different things

Never say never , all it takes is 1 BOBO major injury plus 2 straight finals hangovers

I like to work with certainties when our pick is known

Starting off on the bottom 6 should be easy , PEG isnt that deep

They have goaltending depth, and just too much depth overall. It would a LOTS of injuries to derail them.

Exactly, so why demand it? Just earn it like everyone else.

I think the no contract and few games at year end is the main issue

I dont think Hutson for example will make a stink with a stint in Laval

So basically Habs are hoping for a Panthers bad year

But we get the lesser of the two picks.

There’s a 90% chance they’ll be in the top 8 of the league standings.

 

[Habsy]

Not dressing Perfetti in the playoffs till the elimination game, I don’t think goes over well w NCAA types who now wield negotiation leverage…

They are run like the cheap organization they are and burning a year? Omg!

Plane crashes?

They got rid of Stolarz and Knight is shaky.

Not outside the top 10. Worm is correct.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Got it.

 

[CH1]

no

I'm hoping Calgary has a mediocre year so we can pick around 11-15th

 

[CH1]

Though I should add the Flames will probably be way worse than mediocre, so we will very likely have the Panthers very late pick
