Team: 2019-20 Calgary Flames

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 24, 2019

Published: Jun. 24, 2019

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Brodie, Hamonic and Frolik all on expiring deals serve a purpose as Andersson, Kylington etc. need new deals next year and should probably be prioritized. This is a good team that really should've challenged for the cup this year, and they might do next year with decent goaltending. Offloading the Neal contract will probably become a priority, but with the low cap this year it'd become very expensive to do so while Calgary still has enough entry level deals to try to move Neal in a year. I don't think Giordano will replicate this season, but he probably doesn't have to as the rest of the defense keeps getting better. I'd assume this team reaches the 2nd/3rd round of playoffs next year unless they run into Vegas or SJS somehow has the most amazing rest of this offseason.

What is this trade? Yes the Flames save cap, but gave up two good picks, a third line center, and a #5D (when healthy) for a very pedestrian prospect. You just traded that haul for a a guy not even as good as Mangiapane.

I think the salary reductions will happen in separate deals. Florida could probably use Stone for next year (he can re-unite with Yandle) as their defensive depth after the top 3 is not great. Frolik seems like the other candidate to go (Islanders to fit in with Trotz defensive coaching style?, Detroit as a Czech mentor to Hronek & Zadina?).

I don't think they move out Ryan as he was good in the back half of last year and I really think he should have been moved up to center Neal on the third line. He actually has the wheels and puck carrying needed to allow Neal to trail the play and get his shot off (kind of like what you've done in your lineup with Dube).
