While it’s probably good value wise, I don’t think the jets are looking to trade ehlers at all right now

By the deadline reality will hit them. The Jets have this crazy idea that they don’t suck. By then when they’re well out of contention they’ll be selling

Jets Decline
Jets aren’t trading Ehlers, so that alone ends this
Value wise it sucks.. WPG needs RW and RD, but will for some unrealistic reason settle for LW and LD

Chevy should tell his old buddy Brad to pound sand all the way back to Brandon with that trade.

You are about to learn how not good the Jets are.

The Jets will be out of the playoff race by January. I’ve never see a GM and fan base believe in a crappy team this much

So you are really just looking to repeat as close to last years team but with a better dcore? Yeah, I hope you’re ready for more of the same results from last year as well.

While I think the Jets aren't very good I really don't see what makes your Flames any better than the Jets other then the Flames defense being better, you really need a big rebound from Monahan for things to work out.

The Flames are one of the top 5 teams in the league right now without a trade like the one above. The Jets aren’t in the top 20. The Flames are my second team. I’m a Leafs fan and yes the flames are better than the Leafs

I love leaf fans who try to troll other teams… lol
Get out of the 1st round and maybe you’ll have an argument.
Talking about not good teams, yet with all your teams “talent” they’re still playing golf when the 2nd round starts

No, without this trade they're really not a top 5 team in the league. Sure Huberdeau replaces Gaudreau and their defense is better but they're still missing a 100 point player and guys like Tanev and Backlund are a year older, might be a stretch to call the Flames a top 10 team to be honest.

I think the Flames need a top 6 centre over anything si they can keep Backlund on the 3rd line where he will excel.

No, thinking they're a top 5 team as is is laughable.

Ok I’ll play:

1 Colorado
2 Tampa
3 NYR
4 Carolina
And????

If you say Oilers that’s the obvious answer most would agree with although I don’t see them as any better. No one else is close to better than the Flames. The Leafs aren’t, the Panthers aren’t, and no one else is west is even remotely close.

I have zero problem with the Jets. I’m simply laughing at how people here overvalue their players as you and some other Jets fans do with Ehlers

Bruins, Islanders and Penguins are all better than Calgary.
I won't be surprised if Edmonton and Toronto have better seasons than Calgary does, if Vegas can stay healthy and their goaltending holds up they're just as good if not better than Calgary is.

Without this trade Coleman is a top 6 winger, he's really more of a 3rd liner, a good one but not a permanent top six guy.

I like Backlund, had a great playoffs but is he still a 2C, his numbers were more in line with that of a good 3C.

There's a lot of unknown around Monahan, the guy had like 10 even strength points last season, who knows what he'll be this upcoming season coming off of surgery, Ruzicka might be ready for a 3C role if Monahan can't go but maybe not, it'll be his first full season.

Pelletier had a great season in the A but he hasn't played an NHL game yet, might need some time to transition to the NHL.

Solid defense and goaltending but too many question marks at forward for Calgary to be considered a top 5 team.
