Flames fans react to a quiet 2025 NHL trade deadline

Not good at all. Why is conroy happy to either miss the playoffs or sneak in and get beat out early? What’s his plan

Well they never weaponized cap space, they held on to expiring contracts and missed an opportunity to move some vets in a sellers market and freeing up what will be an ugly contract in later years. Not sure rewarding vets with a first round exit aligns with reloading young talent

Disappointed that the Flames didn't make any trades today. I was hoping for Dylan Cozens.

Not great. Even if 0 big moves were made like fans discussed (Kadri, Anderson, Coleman) some smaller trades to cash in on the sellers market would've been nice. It felt like 0 attempt was made. Only positive is they didn't buy

Should have tried to capitalize on a sellers market by moving at least one veteran

I’m good with the lack of moves. I would’ve been mad if they strayed from the big picture plan to spend assets on trying to make the playoffs this year.

Not doing anything is always boring but I prefer that than doing something stupid with no real opportunities. I would still give a little time to see what Farabee really has and Frost will certainly give us good hockey ! But yeah we're forever mid

I’m perfectly fine with this. Stay the course, push for a playoff spot. Gain some valuable experience. The boys should be fired up.

stick with the plan!

As expected. The flames don’t have any ‘rental’ players to trade away. Kadri, Coleman, Raz and Backs all still have term.

— Metanoian (@Pangkiechoy) March 7, 2025

It was what I expected. They didn't overspend, but did the Flames try to move players like Hanley? Especially since a lot of the trades today were for depth players. So, is it trust in the players, or would any trades have added to the holes the roster already has?

✅ No veteran players picked up.
✅ didn’t lose a first
✅ got the draft to build for the future

Could of weaponized their cap space

— Ryan (@76swanson) March 7, 2025

At least they didn’t buy. I trust they’ll try and move some of the vets at the draft

— Jason Issler (@isslerj1) March 7, 2025

Totally fine. Craig did his lifting a couple weeks back.

— JJ Allen (@JJAllen91) March 7, 2025

Positives: didn’t step on any landmines, didn’t use major assets

Negatives: didn’t use cap space, didn’t sell the depth UFAs

That’s really all I got today.
