Who would you rather have

Created by: sensonfire
Team: 2020-21 Calgary Flames
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 14, 2021
Published: Mar. 14, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Both players would fill an extremely critical need for the Flames.

GM Treliving has specifically said the Flames are looking for a top 6 RW that shoots right.

Please take into account everything you know about both players as well as their contract situations and what the Ducks and the Preds would be asking for in return.

We're getting closer to the deadline, there's an expansion draft on the horizon and the Flames only have a 60% chance of making the playoffs, according to moneypuck.com.

So, some tough decisions will have to be made.

Make sure to state your case and I'll see you in the comments :D

      Most likely cheaper IMO. I saw something on twitter about Bennett and a 2nd which isn't that bad but I think Rakell will br cheaper

      either player would be fine. I believe Rakell certainly would be cheaper because he only has one more year on his contract beyond this season. I also think Rakell is the better player and would slot into our top 6 easier.

      The length of contract on arvidson makes him desirable but it also makes him expensive.

      The real issue here is if Treliving isnt able to swing one fo these deals before the deadline then i will consider this a failed year and i think treliving should certainly be out the door. flames need to win this season or next and if they dont accomplish that then it rebuild time

      rikrak because he's a little more physical and better defensively and i think that'll make him fit better with johnny and mony. i don't know much about moneypuck but someone said they had the flames at 35% to make the playoffs a week ago so i don't think i'd put much stock into their predictions

      The problem with a Rakell trade is that we would only be trading him for immediate (this or next season) help at RW and/or RD, and I don't see that in your system. Moreover, if you give us a first and a prospect, which I think is his price, and then miss the playoffs, that pick will be in the 11-16 range, which is pretty damaging from your point of view.

      My best idea that would work for the Flames as well as the Ducks is Adam Ruzicka or Matthew Phillips plus Johannes Kinnvall plus your 2021 second. I'm still not sure about that from Anaheim's PoV.
