Thinking about the Tanev offer a but more, and as a Flames fan I love the possibility of an overpay, but I'm not sure how realistic it is. As the possibility of a massive overpay is there, and you also strip the team of depth.
I'm going to counter with something I think is more realistic. based on your proposal while adding depth.
to Dallas:
- Chris Tanev @ 50% (2,250,000 - UFA '24)
- AJ Greer (762,500 - UFA '24)
- Keven Rooney (1,300,000 - UFA '24)
- Dennis Gilbert (752,500 - UFA '24)
to Calgary:
- Christian Kyrou (878,333 - RFA '26
- Radek Faksa (3,250,000 - UFA '25)
- Joel Hanley (787,500 - UFA '25)
- 1st in 2024
- Cond. 5th in 2025 becomes 3rd if Dallas reaches 2024 WCF
If my math is correct, this would keep Dallas under the cap, as well as give them a couple depth forwards, while we swap depth defensemen giving us one that has an additional year since we're potentially moving so many bodies. I know it's more risk for Dallas if they don't reach the WCF, but significantly less if they win the Cup, which I believe you have a real chance at doing.
