Trades
1.
CGY
  1. Johansen, Ryan ($750,000 retained)
Additional Details:
Both coming off of down seasons. Monahan brings the goal-hungry Preds a 20-30 goal threat. Johansen is more pass-first, but is superior defensively. He also is a horse in the postseason.

I think both teams are ready to shake up their cores
2.
CGY
  1. Pesce, Brett
Additional Details:
THIS IS UNLIKELY.

This is my best case scenario, I would settle for someone else and it doesn't need to be CAR. I want a RHD with term. CGY and CAR made the big deal 2 offseasons ago, so there's a working relationship. CAR showed they weren't bothered by term disparity in the Hamilton/Ferland acquistions, they gave up way more term in Lindholm/Hanifin.

CAR is completely loaded on D, which is my only sliver of hope for this happening. Of course I'm sure TOR would offer Nylander for Pesce.

That Carolina top six would be disgusting - I think they'd have to consider it. I appreciate that you're a Flames fan who's not asking for the moon - sometimes just moving on and re-allocating the cap space is more important than getting the massive, perfect return. That being said, I think RyJo is hot garbage grimace but that's just my opinion. Both teams could def use the shakeup.

I really like the fit with Gaudreau in Carolina. I think he would thrive playing behind the likes of Aho/Teuvo/Svech. He would draw softer matchups and regain his form

Johansen is much closer to being a #1 C than Monahan. Johansen isn’t surrounded with the same talent as Monahan which leads to the disparity in production. He’s also been an integral part on a team that reached a cup final

Really torn on that Calgary trade. That top 6 would be fantastic but only 2 years of Johnny G makes me hesitant. Like the value overall though.

I really think you’d have a great shot at keeping Gaudreau. The Philly connection is overblown. He just wants to win and Carolina gives him a great chance at that. Unfortunately it’s just not going to happen in Calgary

Again it comes down to who they are playing with. Monahan has spent essentially his whole career with an elite LW, NSH doesn’t have that, Josi and Weber are the only elite players that the Preds have.

I can live with less production if you’re “1C” can keep his head above water defensively and handle the tough matchups and doesn’t need to be sheltered

His skating isn't up to speed to work with Rod. His defensive game is too lacking. He'd be thrown with Staal and Niederreiter

He's an okay skater. He's not as good as the likes of Necas, Aho, Teravainen, Svechnikov

Valid points.
It isn’t about attracting him to stay its about affordability. We’ll have Johnny G, Necas, Svech, and Dougie needing an extension within a 2 year period.

He's an "okay" skater. Look up Martin Necas and tell me who's better. Look up Foegele, Aho, Teravainen, Svechnikov. Shush buddy.

When the Canes have 6 better skaters than him, he's an okay skater. Because that means there's a lot of people in the NHL who are better. If we say Carolina are a team of average skaters, it means there's roughly (6x32) 186 skaters who are better, just projecting the forwards. That's an average skater kid.
