Win 1st overall and trade down for Byfield

Created by: BurnEmUp
Team: 2020-21 Calgary Flames
Initial Creation Date: Aug. 4, 2020
Published: Aug. 4, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
I don't think any of these trades are crazy really. I've seen Pens fans propose the Murray trade, Devils fans liked the Hanifin trade I've done in the past, the Flyers trade most Flames fans probably won't be nuts about, the trade down scenario is also pretty realistic in my opinion, and Rittich can go anywhere for roughly a 3rd rounder, in this case it's probably a late 3rd rounder.

Win 1st overall after losing the play in, trade down to get Byfield and other picks plus make some big core changes and get a proven #1 goalie.

3rd overall (SJS) - C - Quinton Byfield
11th overall (ARI) - C - Dawson Mercer
19th overall (NYI) - C - Seth Jarvis
27th overall (PHI) - D - Justin Barron
33rd overall (OTT) - RW - Ozzy Weisblatt

Team still competitive and the prospect pool reloaded, plus some key high end C prospects added.

Not necessarily. They are more interested in Stutzle from my understanding. I heard they never even interviewed Byfield.

Yeah I've usually had Devils fans agree immediately to Hanifin for Boqvist and 13th overall. 11th overall isn't that far off.

Nah, it's fine. The odds of 11th or 13th overall ending up as good as Hanifin are pretty slim.

Eh. I don’t think so. They are taking Stutzle. He’s fast, can play center and winger. Byfield is big, slower, and only plays center. They need guys that can play on the wing, so they are taking Stutzle.

I personally dont think Hanifin is very good, they could get Ghost for a lot cheaper who'd be as good

No worries. If you don't think he's very good then it makes sense that you wouldn't trade much for him.

Doubt it. Sounds like they have Stutzle and Drysdale ahead of Byfield

That seems like it doesnt matter considering the alternative is Stutzle

You guys keep injuring our players. At this pace there is zero chance you win 1st OA. Your helping Winnipeg’s chances though.

Yeah so there is a lot to unpack here but I’ll start with the 1st trade. If Mangiapane is the best player available for your #2Lw just draft Lafreniere. No issue with the Flyers trade but no need to add Ghost (keep Hanifin) do JG for 1st Frost and a prospect.

Don’t waste assets trading for Murray just sign RL or Holtby.

Try this.

Mangiapane has 17 points in his last 16 games since he was moved into the top 6, he's no slouch. That includes 4 points in this Jets series so far too.

If the Flames lose the next two games and then win 1OA, I'd be fine if they drafted Laf, but I'd also be OK with doing something like I did here. They need some high end C prospects and that's one way to get one.

If CGY wins #1 overall lottery, I'd be ringing up OTT and asking for Brady Tkachuk for Lafreniere straight up.

I get the brother angle, but I'd rather just keep Laf. Brady only has one year of ELC left and also takes a protection slot.

The thought of the Tkachuk bros is a nice one though.

The Seattle consideration is a good point. I'm just foaming at the mouth at the thought of having both Tkachuks long-term. And it would cost the sun and moon to acquire Brady.
