Merry christmas

idk if flames would take this, but the avs should

I may value Behrens higher that some but, this is a pretty solid offer. No one is trading 1-16th picks, not sure any bubble teams are making those kinds of moves on a ufa, and what other prospects are teams willing to offer up that beat out Behrens(wjc usa's top dman when they had L.Hughes). Only issue is if they'd be willing to take Johansen back...

Riley Tufte isn’t a top 6 NHL forward, and one d pairing I don’t ever have any interest in seeing is Girard Malinski. Also Bednar will never do it, but if they did get Lindholm I’d make Mikko his permanent 5v5 winger but that’s me because MacK is going for o drive play no matter who is on his wings.

Lets clarify. Nobody is trading a top 10 pick but NYI moved 13 OA last year in the Horvat deal. Eventually that puck ended up at #17 but they still had to claw into the wild card spot.

I think if a team like Minnesota could make an extension work they would move this year's 1st + for Lindholm but thats about it in terms of a potential top 20 pick being made available for him.

As for the offer itself, it's definitely on the lower end. Especially since Calgary has to take on RyJo's contract too. Behrens is a decent prospect, probably worth around a mid 2nd. I imagine Beaucage would probably at least need to be upgraded to Foudy for Flames to consider though

the issue isn't Behrens - he's a great piece for this trade. The issue is RyJo, which the flames won't really have a need for, and maybe moreso - Beaucage, which really isn't worth more than a pick, since he's unlikely to contribute much at the nhl level at this point. I think you have to attach a 3rd or 4th to this if you want Calgary to take RyJo back in the deal.
