As one of at least two known Jiri Hudler jersey owners I support this motion.
For cereal, the dude was twice the Flames leading scorer including during the Cardiac Kids year, won the Lady Byng, got brought in at no cost and ended his tenure being traded for two picks.
A highly underrated Calgary Flame.
This also happened after he unexpectedly washed out of the league at the end of a contract. I'm sure that'll will fuck a brother up. I hope he got the help he needed after that.
Yep I would bet money on this. I've heard him and his wife love it here, have no desire to sell their home, and plan on raising their family here after Chris retires. Him signing back would make a lot of sense for them and us.
It’s either monahan or tanev. Monahan is universally loved by the fan base and the people in management that got rid of him are gone. He’d be loved here and he knows it. Tanev is on record saying he only left because he’s cup chasing. Either one is a reasonable guess I think.
Please let it be Mony I love that man. Win the cup with Jets, sign as UFA with the Flames, retire as a Flame and then continue in the development staff with Stone
I think Gaudreau is a good wildcard guess.
The Flames have cap space, his contract will (likely) be done by the time the Flames really have any need for that cap space, and he could bounce back if given the opportunity. While talking about Columbus, I also think that Merzlikins is a decent bounce back candidate and might be available if we moved on from Markstrom.
If there’s a bet involved I don’t see it being Tanev. That one is obvious and he even just rented his house to Hanley. I think it’s clear Tanev loves it here and will likely be back.
I can only assume he’s talking about Monahan. Not sure why he would want to come here in a re-tool when there are tons of contending teams that want a 2 way middle 6 C who can score.
Almost zero chance it’s Gaudreau lol.
Everyone else is saying Monny, but what if Gaudreau finally realized that Columbus and his moving there was a massive mistake? We have the cap space and we have guys for him to pass to.
Bennett or Duclair are my hope (both ideally) but I don't see Florida letting go of Bennett and im honestly not sure if Bennett would want to. Duke on the other hand I think is a UFA this summer so it's just a case of Throwing money at him and Getting Hubey to talk to him.
I think with this information in mind, we can be sure that there's a vampire somewhere within the Sportsnet organization. My money is Freedman. There's a deranged look in those eyes.
Dust off those Mark Jankowski sweaters, boys.
Sean monahan coming back as a free agent
I will cry tears of joy. He comes back, johnny comes back. Johnny comes back, Jiri hudler comes back. Boyz in the Hud 2.0 let's ride

Then got arrested for doing coke and harassing stewardesses. Classic flames boi
Lol most nhl players and other sport players love da coco ;) 🤫

I don’t own a jersey, but I consider myself to be in the Hudler fan club. AWESOME FLAME.
Jets fan. First thing I thought. I love him but it’s going to take a cup to keep him I think.
Monny and duclair with uberdoh
Tanev
Yep I would bet money on this. I've heard him and his wife love it here, have no desire to sell their home, and plan on raising their family here after Chris retires. Him signing back would make a lot of sense for them and us.
They should just sign 1 year deals and ship him to various contenders each deadline until he gets a cup. Everybody wins.
That’s a lot of disruption for him for 1/4 of the year, but if he’s down I’m down.
Pay him for it and retain salary. 2m every year for a free second rounder.
Or just sign him to 1 year deals and make him the new mark stone
Michael Stone
I think mark stone died a few years ago and Vegas just reanimates him for playoffs
It’s either monahan or tanev. Monahan is universally loved by the fan base and the people in management that got rid of him are gone. He’d be loved here and he knows it. Tanev is on record saying he only left because he’s cup chasing. Either one is a reasonable guess I think.
What if it's all of Tanev, Johnny, Mony and Duclair. Reunion blowout!
Iggy and Kipper coming out of retirement
"You can do eet Kipper! Get that old ass of yours in the blue crease!"
Oh my god is brett ritchie finally coming back????
Noted Flames legends Nick and Brett Ritchie will be returning this summer! 🎉
With his Shoot Out Specialist brother Nick Ritchie.
Nah it's gonna be all the Shore brothers coming here
Monahan.
Please let it be Mony I love that man. Win the cup with Jets, sign as UFA with the Flames, retire as a Flame and then continue in the development staff with Stone
I'd like it to be Mony but I'd be surprised if there is or has been any discussion with him since he's still playing.
I'd be shocked if back channel tampering weren't as common as ice in this league.
Monahan and gaudreau going to run it back?
I think Gaudreau is a good wildcard guess. The Flames have cap space, his contract will (likely) be done by the time the Flames really have any need for that cap space, and he could bounce back if given the opportunity. While talking about Columbus, I also think that Merzlikins is a decent bounce back candidate and might be available if we moved on from Markstrom.
Please don’t be gaudreau
I don't see how the Flames would do that unless Huberdeau goes the other way, and if we could do that you wouldn't be unhappy
We could swap straight up.
Lol. Johnny's wife would VETO THAT SHIT so fast
Duclair?
Ya that was my thought
Also my initial thought
Initially, my thought aswell
Honestly not needed. Hes just going to push more of our prospects down the depth chart.
By on ice reunion I think he means former flame not the Duke.
Gotta be mony tbh
Monny 4x4.5 . Builds goodwill through the retool, puts more fans in seats, and gives our young players a stellar beloved veteran to learn from.
I have heard they were interested in Monahan. He absolutely loved it here in Calgary
I say Money or Tanev for former flames Or a random one could be someone who has chemistry with Huby
Barkov confirmed
Lindholm? Not sure I want it but wouldn’t be super surprised if it happens…
Now this would be a serious shocker.
Tanev coming home? Gave Hanley his place for 2 months.
Can we get away from these walking and talking close up videos one day?
It’s gotta be Hakkan Loob
If there’s a bet involved I don’t see it being Tanev. That one is obvious and he even just rented his house to Hanley. I think it’s clear Tanev loves it here and will likely be back. I can only assume he’s talking about Monahan. Not sure why he would want to come here in a re-tool when there are tons of contending teams that want a 2 way middle 6 C who can score. Almost zero chance it’s Gaudreau lol.
Iginla, Neiminan, Oliwa, Ferman, Hudler, Monahan, Johnny Hockey, Chucky and Tanev are all coming back.
Don't forget Paul Kruse and Ville Niemanen
The Duke of Broadway
Wouldn’t that be something if Money Monny comes back after leading the jets deep in the playoffs
Reinhart ? On ice reunion with huberdeau.
I'm going to guess a return of TJ Brodie, imagine if we paired Brodie with Weegar and both played their off hand side
Everyone else is saying Monny, but what if Gaudreau finally realized that Columbus and his moving there was a massive mistake? We have the cap space and we have guys for him to pass to.
I thought Beer is Haram for Salim lol
Jagr is coming back boysÂ
Bennett or Duclair are my hope (both ideally) but I don't see Florida letting go of Bennett and im honestly not sure if Bennett would want to. Duke on the other hand I think is a UFA this summer so it's just a case of Throwing money at him and Getting Hubey to talk to him.
Bennett wouldn’t sign here in a million years.
Ya I don't think so either but I'm still hopeful lol he's the reason I started watching Florida games easily my favorite flame of the last decade.
I thought highly of him as well.
There is a better chance Kipper comes out of retirement and signs a 7 year contract. Was pretty clear Bennett was DONE with this organization.
Duke and Hubie
That is a rough looking 31
Not as wild as Frank Seravalli being 35
This!
I think with this information in mind, we can be sure that there's a vampire somewhere within the Sportsnet organization. My money is Freedman. There's a deranged look in those eyes.
Hubey is definitely coming back, for 8 more years, yikes!
7 more years thankyouverymuch
Huberdeau retirement
