The flames kindly say no way in hell.

Not interested in downgrading Gaudreau to Saad and then have Saad going UFA a year sooner than Johnny would be.

Then resign him.

how about now

Well yeah, either that or trade him for a better return than what is shown here.

EDIT: Unless you mean resign Saad? Still not interested.

I don't think Chi needs another small skilled winger

Nah, if we give up Gudreau we probably want Strome and a 1st or 2 firsts, lots of teams would be willing to give up something like that so we wouldn't settle with this.

That doesnt get you Johnny hockey.
Starts with Strome.

No way should we give that much up for Johnny. Kubalik was on pace for 36 goals before the shutdown....how many players did that in their rookie year? It took Johnny 5 seasons to hit 36 goals (last season). I'm not saying Kubalik is going to be Johnny...he won't, but giving up a cost controlled A prospect in Kubalik, plus a 1st, 2nd and Beaudin is just too much.
