Description

I saw @Pikey_Isaac suggest a similar Florida trade in a different thread. I thought it was interesting, but changed the pieces we are giving up. Value is obviously not quite there, but we could debate the pieces to be added. I think this is a very complete team.

Panthers say no. It’s not a bad trade but panthers need defense just as bad.

As an oilers fan, I'd like to keep the battle of Alberta interesting so I'd have to say No, no no no no no, this would break the flames and it would be like sr men's playing against the peewee hockey team, this would put the flames in hell and would have to draft numerous quality centers to be back to where they are today

Florida says hell No, They need D just as bad as Calgary. Monahan would be a sweet #2 behind Barkov no need for Gaudreau who'd walk in 2 years. Florida's giving up the better pieces here.

NSH isn't trading their best goal scorer for a guy who'd be playing on their 3rd pair.

No they sure as hell are not.

Ekblads a 3D right now at best.

Thing is the Flames need to be drafting numerous quality centres either way. Our pipeline of centres is thin as is.

Why am I trading Monahan then? Because as good as he is, I don't see this team winning a cup with him as #1C. Trade him for good pieces now while you can, and try to get your eventual replacement through the draft. Let Lindholm hold down the fort till then; I think he's gonna put up similar numbers to Monahan in that role anyway.

Dude Ekblad is 1D in Florida he's by far the Panthers best Dman miles over Yandle or any of their other Dmen it's not close.

I think that's a bit of a stretch. The man put up 41 points in 67 games, he put up a relative corsi of 3.5, and a +12 on an okay-at-best team. Oh and he's 24 years old while playing a valued position (RD). Yes, Calgary's giving up some good players, but let's be honest, so is Florida.

He is the panthers best D. Which is like being the best burger at McDonald's.

Unfortunately, the Flames don't become a better team with these moves. If you're going to move Monahan, you better replace him with a legit #1 defenceman.

See my comments above. Ekblad is the legit number one defeceman for years to come.
