Flames will want a top pairing LD man back for Hanifin... that us better than him to trade him

As an Oilers fan, I like the idea of Calgary giving you Hanifin for that package. In reality, there's a good chance Giordano is left exposed to go to Seattle and Calgary would need to keep Hanifin with Tanev for their top pair.

Brutal trade for CGY. Debrusk is inconsistent, Vaak hasn't proven much yet, Kase is made of glass and Khokhachev is average at best

I don't' understand Seattle. Why are they getting two guys and pick?

Paying them to take either Ritchie, or Lauzon. They don’t have to pay though, so who knows.

Instead of who? Both or neither of those guys could be protected. One of them will be selected. I am not sure the Bruins have a preference.

Maybe Hanifin trade is before the draft so they can go 4-4-1 and pay them so they don’t take Smith. That’s my guess.

Flames pass, that is a bad package. I like DeBrusk but he's noot close on his own and nothing else in that package is appealing, other than Kase who we could just sign as a UFA when he doesn't get a qualifying offer.

Are u planning to pull a tampa and bring Rask in for Game 1 of the yoffs

That's dumb - Not you. Wait a week and don't give away free assets. It's not like Lauzon or Ritchie are bad or overpaid. I would actually be irate if they did that. The whole reason the didn't go after or end up with Eckholm was because they didn't want to lose too many assets.

2 of the players your trading to CGY are going to be UFA's (koko also just resigned in the KHL)

Why are we giving up a pick to lose two players?

There is just so much that doesn't make sense with this ACGM
