No chance

Pass on Roslovic, replace him with another prospect

No chance that COL deal sounded fair in your own head even 5 minutes after posting this. Backlund for the 27th OA in the draft from a few weeks ago “plus” a 3rd rd pick hahahah

I wouldn't mind Lindholm if his contract was going to come in under $8M and the cost was some combination of 2 or 3 of Peeke, Boqvist, Dumais, LDBB, Ceulemans, Knazko, Richard, and a 2025 1st or something. I've no interest in trading any of the top young guys or 4-5 prospects from the pool. Lindholm isn't an 80 point Selke candidate anymore and was only that briefly to begin with.

I was in on the Lindholm buzz for awhile, but I’ve gotten away from that.

IMO, I’d prefer we move for Backlund, who can be a better stop-gap for a year to give Fantilli some breathing room. If he wants to sign short and cheap after that, all the better.

He profiles as a slightly better version of Jenner, albeit he’s also a true C, and has the age concern. I wouldn’t give up as much as OP wants, but with retention, I’d be willing to send Roslovic plus a piece or two, if it means (finally) lowering Boone’s ice time to limit the injury risk.

If the avs were going to make that deal they wouldn't have brought in johansen and colton... I'm sure cgy would have wanted the pick itself at the draft so they could have gotten their own guy

The ridiculous proposals from Flames fans and that dummy Portzline feeding the fire really killed the fun of thinking about it almost instantly.

Most proposals on the site are getting that way recently. Seems like any proposal for any player of significance is met with the same "It'll take Jiricek, Fantilli, Johnson or some combination of the 3 plus a 1st to make that trade". I keep trying to remind myself that it's a good thing that the Jackets have great prospects that people want to rip off, but it doesn't make for much fun when reading posts.

Lol, welcome to CapFriendly, right?

An older C with a few Sellers-worthy high-end seasons producing alongside great talent, who is on the verge of getting what is likely going to be a bad contract, and oh yeah - he’s wushu-washy on whether he even wants to stay. Frankly, I don’t see why his price should be much higher than Horvat - a roster player, a protected 1st, and a good prospect.

I was on the same train. After drafting fantilli 1C isn’t as drastic of a need. I think between fantilli, Kent Johnson, and sillinger they have 2 future top 6 Cs. I agree I would rather have backlund. He shouldn’t cost as much and can be a stop gap/mentor for the young centers

Roslovic is in there to make the salary work. Sillinger and a first is enough for lindholm although I think it’s less likely the jackets pursue him now.

How can you not make the cap work without Roslovic included? According to CF, Columbus has $4,729,167 cap space with 24 signed players on their roster. Assuming All 3 of Werenski, Bean, and Danforth are activated from LTIR you would be sending at least 1 player will be sent down (my guess is Blankenburg). That would add another 825k in available cap space for a total of $5,554,167. Given that Lindholm makes less than 5M Columbus can absolutely fit him in. And if you are that worried about performance bonuses Calgary could absolutely retain.

Also I completely disagree that Sillinger and a protected 1st is enough for a full season of Lindholm (where you will likely be extending him). Sillinger is still a prospect with high potential but he he's about as valuable as Boqvist was when you traded 1 year of Jones to Chicago.

I thought this proposal here was quite reasonable though, isn't it? And every team has fans on here who are insane when it comes to proposals, both over and undervaluing players

What kind of pieces would you trade for Backlund? I'd say that if Roslovic is included, he would be considered to have neutral value and just there for cap purposes

Roslovic, yes, and you could add Bemstrom, Foudy, or maybe Robinson. CBJ really need to clear out roster spots.

I’d be willing to include Bean, or maybe Boqvist, but would want to include a pick-swap in favor of CBJ. I just done see Backlund’s value as being near a 1st or so.

What kind of pick swap are you thinking then?

2nd for a 3rd? Not sure if retention is needed.

So you mean the Flames give up a 2nd and receive a 3rd in return?

Yes

So the Flames give up the better player and the better pick in the trade? I’m not sure how that’s supposed to make any sense.

I'm talking more about the 3rd OA+ and KJ+ asks that were getting posted repeatedly. Although, I'm not a fan of these proposals that involve Sillinger either. I'd move on in a heartbeat if the Flames drew a hard line on having him included in a trade.

Well yeah those were never happening obviously, but that's just the mirror image of some CBJ fan proposals of like Roslovic, Peeke and a 3rd that I've seen on here. And for what it's worth I wouldn't want Sillinger included anyways, I'm not high on him at all

Calgary takes the Colorado deal and runs

LOL! Simply no from Colorado. The logic isn't even there to make it reasonable.
