Quoting: kammy
Gaudreau (27) is the same age as Ghost (27)
Voracek just had 56 pts in 69 games and was +14... while Gaudreau 58 pts in 70 games and -10
Not to mention, Flyers would be eating part of Lucic's horrendous contract.
Surprised you guys ripped apart my CGY trade and not the Laine offer :-)
Honestly stopped reading after the Flames one because it was so terrible.
Gaudreau being the same age as Ghost is completely irrelevant because quite frankly Ghost is not a very good player and is a cap dump, so his only comparison should be to Lucic and honestly, I'd rather have Lucic because while he's overpaid, he's not a liability in any part of his game not a chance I would eat 23.5m and swap him for Ghost, I wouldn't even do that swap straight up.
Vorachek is a few years older than Gaudreau, has never been as good as Gaudreau, makes more than Gaudreau and is signed for longer than Gaudreau. I wouldn't even do Gaudreau for Vorachek and a 1st. The Flames are not trading Gaudreau for an old, overpaid, declining player.
And then on top of it, you have the Flames paying way more in real dollars (more than $15 million more in real dollars) during the current economic situation in the NHL and offer zero compensation for eating that money from a cap dump and bad contract?
If the Flyers want Gaudreau, it
STARTS with Konecny, and then you add from there because one season good year from him in a season Gaudreau wasn't great doesn't make Konecny more valuable. We don't have to trade Gaudreau and we aren't going to make a terrible trade to move him.
