you dont want Drouin....if Flame fans are annoyed at Monahan and Johnny disappearing int he playoffs, you are going to shoot Drouin out of a Cannon for pulling even worse disappearing acts

Johnson has a NTC. Don't know his motivation to leave Tampa. Drouin and Johnson aren't worth their contracts, Don't know why teams would give up much for them. Jarnkrok worth his contract and more, so he's virtually a lock to be a Pred.

I would love Jarnkrok for the bottom 6 but he’ll probably cost a lot, that contract is pretty good. Maybe we could get him for a 2nd or 3rd at the deadline if Nashville is tanking and re-sign. This likely means Ryan is gone, which I’m fine with, just gotta be aware that we’ll have to sign a 4C or hope Gawdin is ready for that role. I think he’s close for sure.

Idk who wouldn’t be interested in Cernak if he’s available, a young, defensive 2RD would be a great fit long term in Calgary. Might be expensive unless they start getting squeezed or offer sheeted, would Zavgorodny+a pick be enough? He’ll probably be cheaper than re-signing Brodie or Hamonic in the short term which is nice, allows us to acquire something for our top 6 as well.

Speaking of which, TyJo is pretty interesting. He’d likely start at 2RW but he can play C so that gives plenty of options for line shuffling in the top 6. He has a full NTC though so idk if he’d waive, but we could certainly use a guy like that.

Not really interested in Drouin, we don’t need another top 6 LW unless it’s Hall, then we make it work.

The first 3 are not good options for the flames. The final 3 are gonna cost way to much

Hes had 17 points in 25 playoff games, that's not disappearing and for most his career he has stepped up in playoffs. But ya he has problems with engaging for a full season

There are only 5

And what has he done in the Philly series? The guy was benched once again at the end of the game when Montreal is looking for a goal. If a guy who is suppose to be one of your most offensive talents is benched when a team needs offense, he’s not a good Playoff performer

bottom 2

Ahh yes the logical what has he done in the past couple games while ignoring the rest of his career excuse

what he has done the rest of his career? Disappear offensively consistently, cant play defensive and is constantly having his effort level questioned. That has been happening every year he has been in the league.

You think playing in the playoffs in 2015, captures who he is as a player today....Its been 4 years since then. What has he done since 2015-16, you guessed it, been inconsistent play, lack of effort and drive, etc etc etc

Which I said in my first post, but saying he disappears during the playoffs because of 1 bad series (in which he is coming back from wrist surgery) isnt a good sample size.

I get it though, you want that whole narrative because you have watched Habs fans on this site trade him to Colorado over and over again.

In reality he is what he is, a 50 point winger who actually tends to play better in playoffs. But I get it, you have an anger against him because of fictional trades, good for you

he has been in the playoffs 3 times, pointless, went to the east finals with tampa, and this year, if you are going to look at full history dont gloss over the other series too.
i dont have anger for him just calling a spade a spade, hes not very good

Not very good, just a 50 point player in the NHL but ya horrible.

50 points that you cant rely on and you have to shelter him with heavy Ozone starts and touch defensive match ups bc he cant compete or play defesnse to save his life.
yeah hes not very good, hes a pond hockey player leaching easy points int he regular season.

Replace Drouin with Domi and I agree with this list. I have absolutely zero interest in Drouin. He can be a very frustrating player to watch.

Wow talk about over exaggerating how bad he is. He is a below average defender and a just above average offensive player. Not trying to make him out to be a stat but he also isnt one of the worst 100 players in the league.

Once again you just come across as angry. Colorado is legalized right? I'll send you some green from Canada, get you nice and calm

I'm going to guess that the Flames get a right shot D from Buffalo, and a left shot D from Philly and they move on from Hanifin and Gaudreau.
