Tkachuk Trade Attempt

I think the flames should be getting more here.

Completely fair and personally, that is what I think as well. I just didn't know if they would be getting full value since St. Louis seems to be the only place he would like to go. I do agree with you though.

I dont think Calgary would be interested in Tarasenko. That stated, it would be an equal mistake for the Blues to trade a young piece like Kyrou when they need to be younger and faster and he's the fastest skater on the team with tremendous skill. I dont see the Blues actually making an offer Calgary would accept. Calgary doesn't need Dunn, so the best I could come up would be:
Schenn + Neighbours + 16th overall for Tkachuk.

They get a piece to compete now in Schenn, a young forward prospect who plays a hard physical game and crashes the net like Tkachuk, plus 16th overall which should have some talent. Question is whether or not Schenn would waive his NTC for Calgary

Agreed especially with the number and seriousness of Tarasenko's injuries. Maybe switch the 2nd to a 1st and add a condition of if he plays more than 60% of the Flames games in 22 the pick is down graded to a 2nd.

I actually like that proposal a lot better than mine haha! It would be contingent on Schenn waiving his NTC like you mentioned, and after signing long term I think it's probably unlikely but you never know!
