Welcome to FlamesForum.com!

Reported by the Calgary Herald, Warrener, Nilson, and Eriksson have been put on the waiver wire in hopes another team will pick them up. If not, the Flames will have options to buy them out at 2/3's their salary.

Other news, looks as if Mark Girodano will come back to the Flames with a new multi-year deal. Will keep you posted on this news. We'll also be releasing a salary outlook/expectations for the upcoming year and discuss who will fill some of the holes.

The Calgary Flames used their pick (moving down 17 to 25th via Alex Tanguay trade, which was a separate deal from the Cammalleri trade) to acquire centerman Greg Nemisz from the OHL Windsor Spitfire. Here are some articles and below that a player stats profile.

The Flames had a number of chances to scout Nemisz as he played on the same team as last year's, who passed away last season, prospect Mickey Renaud. So in this case the Flames have seen Greg a bit more than an obscure prospect across the globe.

Calgary's looking for a forward, I guess we have depth at the back end? Definitely the teams have goalies galore, but what about a #1 C? Let speculation run ramped. Olli Jokinen to Calgary for Regehr? Tanguay goes to Montreal for a pick, and pucks. Flames get nothing, etc. Whatever, let's wait and see, SOMETHING will happen so stay tuned.

4:50PM update: Check out Fan 960 for wicked radio coverage. It'll beat the TSN TV coverage.

Fan 960 won't be doing the draft (too bad), they'll pipe in the NHL radio feed.

5:00PM: TSN page to Tanguay rumor. Not confirmed. If it's true expect Calgary to turn the pick around and get someone in return (Jokinen).

TSN still talking about Tanguay to Montreal and now saying the Flames pick up Cammalleri.

TSN:

Calgary sent their first-round selection (17th overall) to the Kings who then ship that pick and the 28th overall selection to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for the Ducks' 12th overall draft pick.

Jokinen chats done. He's off to Phoenix for 2 d-men (Boynton and a pick). Seems the rumors of Regehr for Jokinen were true, as in that's what Florida was asking.

Oh yea, Stamkos goes #1. But we're more about the Flames right now.

Tanguay to Montreal for the 25th draft 2008 pick. Calgary's 17th pick to Los Angelas who send it to Anaheim with their 28th pick for Anaheim's 12th overall pick. LA sends LW (RW) Mike Cammalleri to Calgary. Two separate deals. Calgary's pick to LA for Cammalleri and Montreal's 25th pick for Tanguay.

Upcoming is the 2008 draft, over three full months before puck drops for the 08-09 season. Who says hockey stops during Summer? This year the Flames will pick 17th but all eyes aren't on the relatively deep draft/draft position. Rather, talks are heating up about potential trades. The usual reports are resurfacing pinning O Jokinen, a C from Florida, heading to Calgary. Nothing really to these rumors other than interest. You see, the only way Jokinen would come to Calgary would be if Tanguay went the other way (or some three way deal.)

Langkow is already around and losing Tanguay and Huselius (to free agency) would leave the team short on the LW. Here are some additional articles about the latest happenings.

OK fine, we'll get on the Dion and Elisha fun. The two started dating in May (or perhaps before) and have been seen frolicking in Hawaii.
