I'm hoping either Brent Sutter or Dave Lowery will be the coach next year, but I wouldn't mind seeing Playfair as head coach again either.

Playnice? Come on. He stinks.
One thig is 100% Kipper played great under Playfair I'd like to a new coach only because
I think Keenan is to set in his old ways amd I'm tired of his constant mixing of the lines every game.
Cammalleri likes Calgary so does Burt and Accoin
Cammalleri, however, did not rule out a return. He said there have been no contract talks yet with the Flames. "I don't think it is impossible. I think Calgary is a possibility," said Cammalleri.
"I still have the drive and passion to do it," he said. "I have to take some time and figure it out. I loved it here. It's a great group of guys." Bertuzzi
"I don't think, the way things are in the world and, at my age, that I am due for a big pay raise," smiled Aucoin.
I wouldn't mid Aucoin booted out but as for the other two I hope they make a return!!

unfortunately I agree. I don't think the Flames will have the money that Cammy will be looking for.

Why? Perhaps because he has the team run and gun the sh*t out of the oilers?
He's under contract in New Jersey for one more season, and according to Lou, he's not going anywhere.
If we let Adrian and Todd go then yes we do have the room!
No chance in hell the Oilers will ever have a chance at such great players :laugh:

You do realize we've had as many playoff games as your team in the past 4 years correct?

That's beside the point, I think he ment UFA's avoid Edmonton because it's a dump of a city

Compared to Calgary? I don't like eithers setup, but I don't think Calgary has anything to brag about.That's beside the point, I think he ment UFA's avoid Edmonton because it's a dump of a city
Of course I'm from classy Red Deer, so my opinion on how great a city is is probably moot.

I wouldn't say yes we do have the room, we might have the room, depending on who else you are willing to part with, The Flames don't have much room as it is, and they are predicting the cap to fall to roughly $55 million next season, and Calgarys cap hit is already at roughly 48 mil, so we've only got roughly $7 mil to throw at these players: Cammalleri, Bertuzzi, Lundmark, Boyd, Roy, Leopold, Aucoin, Pardy and McElhinney or any players you bring in from the farm. So if we throw approx. $5 million at Cammy, that means we are probably going to lose guys like Leopold, Aucoin and Pardy (which I think would be a disaster to lose them and hand it to the youth of Negrin and Pelech). And we need a Back-up so McElhinney will eat up some cap too. Roy would be no big loss and Boyd and Lundmark are decent pieces which we could also lose.
So I still don't see it happening, but who knows, I could be wrong. Sutter has worked magic before.

Yes naming your major roads after dead animal parts makes your city look so classy! :laugh:That's beside the point, I think he ment UFA's avoid Edmonton because it's a dump of a city
Talk is cheap I'll believe he stays when the contract is signed, until then he's not staying imo.

To an ignorant person it may appear that the roads are named after dead animal parts, anyone else would realise they were native tribal names. Naming roads after dirt, now that's class. Not to mention where else in the world can you find traffic circles with stop lights? What does that say about edmonton?

Well it makes sense now we walked all over the Natives of north America for years we might aswell be driving over them now too. :laugh: Lots of places actually have traffic circles with lights it depends on how the traffic set-up is. :thumbsdow
and yes I know native American tribes that have there names involve Animals, it also involves some Tribe Chiefs.
And the Whitemud is named after a creek it crosses over not mud you fool. :laugh: :cheeky4:
Not if you go back 5 seasons
