so normal capfriendly stuff

Yeah, I fear there is going to be a mass Calgary-wide heartbreak when the trade goes through.

Fleece or be fleeced.

Just tell a Leafs fan they would have to give up Marner for Thachuck and see what happens lol.

almost like he said he won't sign with Calgary or something

oh nvm I see your point, just normal CF stuff then haha

The quantity for quality deals. Which include your team's last 2 bust 1st round picks plus a current player who was waived at least once plus a 3rd liner your fanbase has wished to be traded for the past 2 years plus a late first round pick. "Hey it's 5 for 1 man! Take it! Hey Cheryl can I have a coffee?"

Not Marner! Nooooooooo!!!!!! Never! Ever! No way!!!!!!

Leafs fans can’t even wrap their head around the idea most guys don’t like playing in Canada. And if they do then they take it as a personal attack. Like dude I saw Visnovsky fight a trade to the isles lol. This isn’t personal.

To be fair that is not too far off of how NHL GMs operate lol

If the Flames get a young PPG player and more that's a win. I'm not convinced that Tkachuk, Miller or Kadri are 100-pt players. Out of the 3, I think Miller matches and then drops off after even if it's just to a PPG player. Tkachuk I expect to be somewhere between PPG and the 90pts club (closer to 90+). Kadri the same (closer to PPG).

The 100-pt players are the guys driving the plays or scoring or doing both and have reached that mark or on pace for it in several seasons. (100pts in this era isn't like the 60G club, where if you hit it once then you are a member-although soon enough I'm sure 60G will be the new 50).

That being said McDavid is a 100pt player, Kucherov (wouldn't be surprised if his production starts regressing in the regular season in favour of the playoffs), and MacKinnon if he can play a full season. Draisaitl has proven he is good for 40G and 60A or 50G and 50G and he's also proven he can drive his own line so he's no longer a byproduct of McDavid so he's another 100 pt player. These guys can be expected to hit 120+ points in a great season like the Flames line had.

Matthews has always been a 40G+ guy and over the last two seasons (by pace and actual goals) has shown that he can score 60G, so he's probably good for 35-40 assists, so he's likely a 100pt player but he could pull an Ovechkin and be getting far less assists as he gets older.

Marner has consistently shown (by pace/actual) he can get around 70 assists over the last 4 season. If he can consistently score 30+ then he will be a 100pt player. Same with Gaudreau and Panarin. I would say these guys are on the cusp of being 100pt players but they are certainly 90+ point guys and are good for 95+ points.

The Buffalo Sabres fan feel your pain.

Except Tkachuk does all of those things. And there's no telling what he'd rack up with Thomas setting him up for years.

Gaudreau drove the play on that line, Tkachuk could perhaps but he's a turnover machine for a reason, he's not a true play driver. So, he could get 100pts+ but I wouldn't be expecting that from him. He might be able to get that with Thomas, if the fit is indeed good. I'm not saying teams shouldn't acquire him if he's a fit on their roster, since that's what ultimately matters anyways not points and with that comes the points, or that he will absolutely never get 100pts again. Just saying the acquisition cost for him in a trade should be based off what he is and ofc he's going to have a high trade value since he's a unique type of player and he can get a lot of points but he's not even a top 10 player in the league which that second category of mock trades suggest he is.

Please don’t your gonna ruin the entire site

except marner for tkachuk is entirely reasonable

It makes sense if Mathews would rather play with Tkachuck then Marner. That was my philosophy at least.
