Flames decline

Monahan had a very down year. Over the last 4 years he has been on a 66point pace over 82 games
Voracek has been consistent every year. Over the last 4 he has been on a 72 point pace over 82 games

Both players need a change of scenery for different reasons. Both teams need a shakeup to their top 6

Monahan didn't have a down year, he was literally injured from game 15 to 50

If you think Voracek is so much better than Monahan you should keep, Calgary values the more important position and the cap space more

Seattle would take Haag, Laughton first. to take JVR they would need a sweetener

As much as I would love to have Jones that package is not getting it done. If Jones was a Flyer is that the kind of package you would want from Columbus?

Vancouver trade is interesting but I just don't know that much about Brock to know if he is an upgrade

At this point Id rather have Ghost than Risto, at least he's cheaper

Love the Calgary trade, I think they would do it but would want salary retention and/or Patrick Nolan

No need to trade Braun, he's cheap and a great locker room guy and very serviceable

Gotta love when “fixing” a team involves 6 trades lol

5 trades, and considering the Flyers have made almost no trades over the last decade, they are long overdue

I don’t doubt that there might need to be a sweetener but JVRs performance last year (63 point pace) and their need to get to the cap floor on a short term deal with a higher cap than actual money might be intriguing to them. For a new team, a guy that you can count on to score 25+ goals is valuable.

As far as Jones, CLB is limited on who they can trade him to. And it doesn’t help that he is forcing their hand. Columbus is in a rough spot and won’t get full value for Jones.

I would say that Boeser is an upgrade but Vancouver needs to pay Pettersson and Hughes this offseason and then boeser next OS so they might want a similar player with cost certainty. TK is also Bo Horvats cousin ( for whatever that’s worth)

I think Risto is intriguing. He might thrive when not shouldering the load in BUF and being on a bad. We also need more physicality on the back end. We have York if we need more offense.

I don’t think the Calgary trade is that far off. I would only retain 1M at most but Voracek has been very consistent. Both players need a change of scenery. And both teams need a shakeup.

I didn’t want to trade Braun. I think he is valuable but I just don’t trust Either Braun or Myers with 2nd pair minutes and I chose to keep Myers. Braun at 1.8M to be 7D is too expensive expensive for me

I can think of probably 31 teams who would love to have him. They’ll get “full” value, whatever that may be.

And this is a pretty good trade here. If Joonas is included, I’d probably ask for an additional 2nd or 3rd, and I’d prefer the picks not be for 2021, simply as a matter of not wanting to load up too much in one draft.

Jones has a M-NTC so he can eliminate 10 teams he doesn’t want to go to. And that’s a great point on the draft picks. They may want a quicker turnaround time on those picks though since the state of the franchise has been going downhill quickly with Panarin, Duchene, Bobrovski and now Jones all leaving. They need to give the fans something to be excited about quickly. Even though I know next years draft is projected to have more top end talent

Not just even more so about talent in the draft - because I expect a PHI pick probably would be mid-to-late first round, so it’s not like it’s going to be an elite level prospect. It’s more so just about lining up contract timelines, as well as some personal superstition - last time CBJ had three 1st round picks, it didn’t go so well.

See: Rychel, Kirby; Dano, Marko; Wennberg, Alexander

Let’s not forget the fact that Voracek is 31 and Mony is 26!

winnipeg is just putrid

VAN is not moving Boeser
