That offer gets beat by 31 other teams. No reason for Florida to trade Ekblad, especially for that.

I would love Ekblad but he's not waiving and thats not getting him.

Also I doubt that gets Nylander. Remove the 1st and upgraded Vladar to like Dube then maybe

Still not enough

That TOR Trade is very close actually, but I don’t know TOR needs Vladar. They could use Dube or Tanev more and maybe Ruzicka, but we’d want Liljegren or Timmins, Robertson, Lafferty and Abruzzese coming back somehow as well to fill needs

I think Ekblad might be interested in a Weegar reunion, but I don’t like that deal. Hanifin + Dube should be sufficient. If you send Hanifin + Mang + Schwindt, we may be able to get Duclair back as well OR send Hanifin + Mang + Dube for Ekblad + Reinhart

In any event, good trade targets and ideas

Heres the thing was going on, and I agree that I was a homer on both deals, but I do think they can be worked around because I believe both those players for the right price are available. The reasons for the FLA one, is there does seem to be some people sayinf that Ekbladès play has not been up to par, even though i disagree. That being said its all really related to the rise of Montour who has essentially taken his place. It makes sense for Calgary to overpay because the Weegar/Ekblad reunion is worth it. period. Now FLA does not need to trade nayone as thier cap looks good, but they may take the deal witht he success of calgary grittier 2 way forwards that they have had. Nylander is gone from TML next year and they always like Hanafin and your right..due to Hanafin's position and cap hit the levereg is with calgary but not by much. The first was excessive ill admit hahaha.

And good call on Dube, TOR has always been interested in Dube. but also if Dubas not back then anyone they were interested in before doesnt really matter.

one mroe thing..i think Duclair would be a mistake. I understand its scary because of JH dip, but just because he ahs played with him with success doesnt mean there isnt somehting similar but better. Here is the thing, its good that there is a coaching change, needed to happen, but dont forget Calgary had tonnes of structure last year (analytically ere good) and they will lose that. WHich is fine, if you lose it as a ocahc though, you have to gain it in just the general player IQ. Duclair is fast. but also his play is erratic, coming off an injury, he does not look good right now despite the team playing great, and even when he was beside JH, he wasnt necessarily good as much as benifited from a happy JH. Because of how JH was, we are thinking Duclair made him, but lets not foget who the actual star is here, i think a happy JH can make a different player look even better is all. IMO.

Actually if you know anything about the 3 Flames you might think it’s more than fair. However Ekblad has to WANT to come to Calgary to play with Weegar. Not that likely…

Kylington has close to no value right now from not playing for over a year, Mangiapane is decent player but over paid also only had 1 more point than Ekblad this year, Dube is a decent middle 6 guy, Florida's biggest need right now is Dmen why would we trade our best Dman for players that aren't useful for us?

Kylington will be back and eventually nearly as good as Ekblad and Dube will be a solid 2nd liner for years. You totally forgot Mangiapaine who had 35 goals last season….you’re a homer with little knowledge of other players outside FLA
