Thread: You Want Grit I Gotcher Grit Right Cheer
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Copenhagen</b></div><div>Nylander for Tkachuk is pretty close and that guy wants to go you a first and a 2nd and Dermott.</div></div>

How is it close?

Calgary gets worse defensively, they get way easier to paly against, they lose almost 0.1 PPG, Tkachuk has more goals and assist than Nylander in less games, nearly every possession stat favours Tkachuk. Nylander is older and a UFA at the end of his deal, Tkachuk has the ability to be under team control for 9 more years, they're getting paid nearly the same right now.

Dermott wouldn't play.. and your not replacing Valimaki, Hanifin or Giordano for him, his deal is up at the end of the year and the Flames have prospects at LD that can slide in at a minumum deal behind Hanifin Valimaki, the 1st is next year and likely between 26-32, that doesn't help a team looking for impact players now, that leaves the Flames with another mediocre prospect that probably slides into a middle 6.

Thread: PLD coming
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ansabch12</b></div><div>For starters, "way bigger" is just flat out wrong its close enough that this would be a starting point for a deal. Monahan has 3 years left at 6.3 mil while entering his prime and Dubois has a higher ceiling but is only signed for 2 years. Dubois' career high in points is 61 points while Monahan has put up 82 pts in 78 games. Now I understand that Monahan doesnt command the same value as Dubois but I think people especially on this site underestimate Monahan, after 1 down year in a season where we had a major coaching scandal and a pandemic that shut down the season. Every year Monahan has gotten better and has put up 20+ goals every season since he was a rookie. The difference between the two isn't so large that the Flames would throw in a blue chip prospect, but it is large enough to warrant a 1st round pick and a solid prospect like Zavgorodny and a good young defenceman like Kylington.</div></div>

Pretty good breakdown of your thought process and I agree on this.


<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryancnbb</b></div><div>partly true but ya PLD has one less year but he is an RFA and Monahan isn't.</div></div>

CBJ will have plenty of opportunities to resign him in the span of his contract.

The value in this trade seems to be there.

Thread: johnny
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ansabch12</b></div><div>I think if anyone was watching the last series against Dallas you could see that he was playing as hard as he could, any reasonable Flames fan would not place the loss squarely on him. Not to mention we lost to the Western conference champs while being one goal away from a 3-1 lead. It's hard to count last year for his value mostly because of the turbulent season the Flames had with the sudden coaching change and the line shifting. I think this year is the final test for this core, alot of people assume the Flames want to move on from him but its mostly just rumors with little to no evidence. This year we've bolstered our depth, gotten a top 10 goalie, and we have one of our best young defencemen playing healthy. If he doesn't perform this year or if were nowhere near the playoffs by the deadline then for sure we would be interested in the kind of deal you're offering.</div></div>

That also lines up with the little I know. Its really difficult to understand why you would move on from him and like you said, they made some good moves.

Thread: The play after Markstrom
Not sure if Fast is the play if he's gonna cost that much, I think we just need a 4th liner for 1mil or less that can play some PK (Rieder woulda been great but alas). Blais trade is interesting, I liked his physicality last year, solid energy guy at the very least, not sure how much offensive upside he has. Probably gonna have to get a Blues fan to chime in if that's reasonable or not. I do think we run a 23-man roster though, which is why I think we pass on Fast if he costs more than 1.5. I don't mind the Barrie signing, I liked it when Gus was running PP1 as it allows us to manage Gio's minutes better so he's more effective come playoffs. Barrie can take over that role, I know he's lacking defensively but hopefully he can find his game again in a reduced role but still on PP1.

Thread: Avs 2021
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>Calgary can keep him, no way the Avs give up that for a guy that disappears in the playoffs and is east coast bound in 2 yrs.</div></div>
I really hate this narrative that he disappears in the playoffs. Sure he gets locked down more in the playoffs but he still creates plays, and any playmaker is gonna look bad if their linemates refuse to get open, or are unable to finish if they are. His shooting percentage even excluding the empty netter was what you would expect from him, you just generally expect him to get double or triple the amount of assists, which is more on the guys he's playing with since he was putting in the effort and creating some quality chances. Could he have been a little better? Maybe, but Johnny isn't the guy who should be blamed for the loss. On the Avs he's easily a 100+ point player consistently and without the pressure of having to run the entire offense solo he's sure to thrive. Also why does everyone expect him to leave for the east in 2 years just because he's from there? He's literally on the record as saying he loves Calgary and could see himself playing his whole career here, not everyone is desperate to go back where they came from, otherwise Toronto would have Stamkos and a plethora of other stars lmao, that's another narrative that makes absolutely no sense just in general. Another point--2 years is not a rental, that's a significant amount of time, you could literally win 2 cups with him even if he does end up walking after. Coleman essentially fetched two 1sts for a year and a bit, 2 full years at an affordable price tag of a star like Gaudreau would cost at least the package I mentioned and give the Avs easily the most dangerous offense in the league. Don't try to get a star for peanuts and then complain when he costs a significant amount.
