I'm still curious about the Forsberg/Hamrlik rumblings.

Very very tough to give up Hamrlik with how well he is playing. In the last 10 games he has been consistently the Flames top d-man. Phaneuf has been great as well but Reghr has had his troubles out there.
IN a second I could part with any of Warrener-ference-Zuyzin along with any of the Flames 2nd, 3rd or 4th lines for a top line forward but that type of deal probably wouldn't be on.

Yeah. I'm sure the few ten thousand people that pay attention to Calgary Flames hockey would enjoy the maybe 30 games Forsberg would give you guys before one of his legs fell off and he was out for the year.Originally posted by Asher

Not to flame, but the Flames retiring Vernon's number is laughable.
I mean, it's not the most laughable retirement of the past few years, but it is surely laughable.Resident Filipina Lady Boy Expert.Comment

Something's gotta give if you want a top line forward: both from a cap-space perspective and a talent one.Originally posted by Flubber

Philly needs a real #1 d-man badly, especially considering their awful goaltending situation. Hamrlik has been the subject of some rumours now, and Philly's scouts reportedly have been at Calgary games and Calgary scouts at Philly games...and we need a #1 center..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

Forsberg and Hamrlik are both injury prone, if you had any idea what you were talking about...Originally posted by Sava

He was born in Calgary, he was drafted by Calgary in their first year, lead the team to a President's Trophy, lead the team to the Stanley Cup, and won the Conn Smythe Trophy, William M. Jennings Trophy, and a 5-time allstar.
He also holds lots of Flames records, including 529 Flames games played.
A home-town hero leading Calgary to a Stanley Cup and President's Trophy and by far its longest-serving goaltender in its 26 year history doesn't deserve a jersey retirement?

Not a bad resume but when I think of a jersey retirement, Vernon just doesn't inspire me--- perhaps I am used to the Montreal Canadians standard where multiple cups seemed to be the minimumOriginally posted by Asher

The Habs have also retired the likes of Yvan Cournoyer and Howie Morenz anyway."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Cournoyer was considered one of the fastest forwards in the league.
He's a hall of famer (Vernon Isn't)
He won multiple cups, and was captain of the team for dynastic years in the 70s.
Your point?
And Morenz was the best forward of his time, Period.Resident Filipina Lady Boy Expert.Comment
