Flames are going to come 9th and miss by 2 or 3 points because for the last three and a half decades I've cheered for an entirely mediocre franchise.

Just for clarification for the "no details given" for the Canadian team's that haven't already publically stated their plans. The federal government announced a whole lot of things about making EI (one of our wage replacement programs) immediately accessible for anyone displaced or laid off because COVID-19, either because you've caught it and are quarantined or because your job has been eliminated because of it.

Because the government made it available for everyone who applies for it I get the feeling that owners like Daryl Katz are looking at that and going "see? we don't need to pay you, the government is stepping in. now I can get back to offering millions of dollars to Hollywood actresses so they will sleep with me" and are ignoring that that will only replace 55% of a wage and has an upper limit.

So until they actually come out with full details on what they are actually doing, Edmonton and Vancouver are effectively still doing nothing for the displaced arena workers

The Oilers plan is to top up EI so that their staff gets to 100% instead of 55%

I just wanted to point out Hemsky, but you are right. Having no competent forwards is underselling the team. Yes, that collection of players doesn't look too great now because we know how their careers turned out.

But, like, Ryan Smyth was pretty highly regarded in the mid-00s. In only the next year, he was traded for a pretty big bounty (even if none of the players panned out).

They had also traded for Sergei Samsonov for that playoff run and he was very good in the regular season (16pts in 19 games) and good in the playoffs as well.

That Oilers team was a very good team with excellent possession numbers for most of the regular season coupled with horrific goaltending. If I remember correctly they were a top 5 team in pretty much every possession stat, and dead last in most goaltending stats.

Eric Francis has written numerous articles about how the Flames won the Lucic trade or that its up for debate.

Darude - Adam Sandstorm
Aug 16, 2012

Neal can get bought out, Lucic cannot and he has to be protected in the expansion draft as of now.

Like they both suck rear end at the actual hockey stuff but you can get out of one of those contracts.

Darude - Adam Sandstorm
Aug 16, 2012

They can't even fill the roster spot with the cap savings in two of those seasons.

Of course he can technically be bought out. Every player can be. The question is whether or not it is worth it to do so. One way or another Lucic is a big ol cap hit for the Flames for the next 3 seasons. Neal can be bought out and leave the Oilers with a roughly 2 million dollar cap hit. Its not even close for which contract a team should want on the books.
