Is there a Blockbuster Out There

I think you could get more for johnny. I don't know why you'd be trading one of your top players for patrick, plus philly would be over cap after this i'm pretty sure, they'd need to send some money back.

Cap was my only concern really. I definitely think that there is room to improve a Johnny deal but I also think that a lot of teams look at Gaudreau as a piece that they can live without, not going to be a huge market for Johnny with only 2 years remaining on a deal and not efficient in the playoffs. I think that Patrick is a good piece but the trade is really built around a young right shot D that exposes Tanev and Giordano in the expansion draft which hopefully opens up a world of cap for Calgary next off season with a lot of good UFA's on the market next season. Tkachuk and MAngiapane will also be looking for raises

Don’t u have to protect gio?

Any trade that returns Phil Myers is a big win for Calgary. Dont think Philly trades him tho

Yes and no, i think on the right team johnny could produce in playoffs, i also tink a lot of it is monahan not producing. Johnny still gets elite numbers during regular season to get the team a top spot in playoffs which is huge. Hypothetically i think you'd still be able to get Myers in the deal and upgrade patrick to say frost, but i think if you're sending 10 mil over to philly you're going to have to take some cap back.
