In an otherwise dull day yesterday, the big news (measured by social media/pageviews/comment section reaction) was 2016 seventh round pick Stepan Falkovsky.
In a day when the Flames’ biggest move was a depth NHL signing, somehow the biggest piece of news was someone else’s signing (Brad Treliving looked surprised that it was even brought up – Ryan agrees with this assessment).
It also induced a bit of rage, which seems very dramatic for such an unimportant piece of business. If we really need to have this conversation, here’s why it literally does not matter that the Flames did not even make a bona fide offer to Falkovsky.
