Summer Reload

Team: 2021-22 Calgary Flames

Description
I am trying to build a realistic team that Darryl Sutter will want. I am prioritizing speed, size, checking, and defense. This is not what I want the team to look like, but what I think the Flames will look like.

In expansion they will lose Derek Ryan, Oliver Kylington, or Matthew Phillips. They will make a side deal with Seattle not to select Mark Giordano. I don think there is any chance of Gio being selected by Seattle because Darryl Sutter won't allow that to happen. The Flames want to make the playoffs next season. They can't afford to lose Gio, a top pairing D man for nothing. They will want Gio and Tanev to be the shut down pair.

Dube and Valimaki re-sign for dirt cheap on 1 year deals. I think Treliving will make this a tough negotiation as both players don't have arbitration rights. Treliving did this with Andrew Mangipane in the past.

I am bringing in Brandon Tanev. Flames need speed, good checkers in the bottom 9. They also need right wingers. I think Pittsburgh would do this to clear cap space. You also unite the Tanev brothers.

Monahan has been connected to Ottawa in trade rumors. I don't think he has much value on the trade market. Nick Paul and a draft pick would be a nice return at this point. Paul is big, smart, and has some offense. Could be a good 3rd/4th line C/LW for the Flames.

Treliving sucks at signing UFA's so I think he will over pay for someone like Casey Cizikas. Darryl Sutter will like his speed, size and ability to check. The Flames now have Lindholm, Backlund, Cizikas, and Paul as center options. All smart, good defensive players.

They pick up Jesper Fast to add a strong PKer, right shot, fast, good defender (Seeing a theme here?)

Artturi Lehkonen Is a great PKer. He has a ton of speed and he makes this Flames team even more difficult team to play against. I think Sutter would love to have a bottom 6 with these types of veteran players.

Once again the Flames don't know what they're doing when it comes to free agency, so they will sign Erik Gudbranson to play on the right side with Juuso Valimaki. He also adds size and toughness.

They'll need a backup. I think they'll bring in someone making less than $1,000,000 because of markstrom's high salary. Could be anyone, I just happened to pick Aaron Dell.

They should absolutely not be making a deal to protect deal, but I think they will

I don't think Canes do that. Fast is good cheap depth that helps us now and if he is Seattle's target, so be it. Losing him protects others.

Nick Paul is big, strong, great along the boards, great stick, skates well enough, and is very good defensively, but for offence he’s a 4th liner. He’s the kind of guy teams need to win, but it’s not for his offence. He’ll make the PK better, and check well, but goals are gravy.

I deleted the rest because it was turning into a bash Nick Paul comment, and I like him. Just understand what you’re getting.

I think this roster would be better for the style that Sutter wants to play. This is an Islander type team where they are fast, tough to play against, and check well. I think this team could buy into what Sutter is selling. It's also a deeper team than what the Flames had last year. Fast, Tanev, Lehkonen, Cizikas, and Paul are upgrades on Nordstrom, Ryan, Leivio, Simon and Ritchie.

Pens accept!! Please!! Lol.

And im a huge Tanev fan. 3.5M for 4 years in this flat cap is just too much money for a 4th line winger.

And Again, he’s great.

But 3.5M for 4 years would get the Pens Blake Coleman and a good backup vet goalie I bet. I bet Blake Coleman is like 2-2.5M for 2-4 years(5M-10M contract). And get J.Halak for 1.5M for 1 season.

Getting off of Tanev’s contract for a 2nd round pick would be great IMO.

penguins aren't trading Tanev.

If you want to win in the regular season you move Tanev.
If you want to win in the playoffs....you keep Tanev.

It's simple math.
They could use a bigger version of him.
