Thread: Eichel Trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dutchies</b></div><div>probably, but that doesn't equal an Eichel return.

They need top end young pieces to make this rebuild work. A second and 6th don't accomplish that and neither do Monohan and Dube.

I get that everyone is down on him. I'm not a uge fan myself, even before the injury. But BUF cannot screw this deal up and get a minimal return like this.</div></div>

While I do agree with you that BUF will feel the need to maximize a return on Eichel I think if/when Eichel gets dealt the package that BUF gets in return will be somewhat underwhelming. Everyone thought at the beginning when talks were going around that Eichel may want out of BUF that the price would be sky high. But this has dragged on for so long and only now is BUF allowing interested teams to look at his medical reports. Many months ago it seemed like almost half the league would be interested in acquiring Eichel. But since then teams have filled out their rosters and are basically set for this upcoming season and true contending teams are close to the salary cap. There is likely 2-5 teams in on him so not the bidding war it seemed like it was going to be.

Thread: Another Eichel trade

At this point this is the most I'd give up for Eichel. What do you guys think?

Thread: Eichel Trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dutchies</b></div><div>For sure they would lol. But this isn't worth it for BUF. Monohan isn't going to sign longterm with them after next year. The picks aren't much. Dube is a nice piece, but a top end prospect and a first would need to be added.</div></div>

BUF shouldn't have any real issue flipping Monny for a pick or two come the trade deadline.

Thread: My Ideal Opening Night Roster

I'd prefer Kylington turn the puck over and have a chance to chase that guy down as opposed to having Gudbranson turn it over and guarantee it's a shot on net. Kylington has looked much better this pre season than at any other point before. We need mobile defenders too. Maybe just maybe this is his coming out party. Let him have a go.

Thread: Flames Blow it Up Pt3

I mean no disrespect but am I missing something with Monny to MIN? I feel like I've seen this type off trade on here before but Minnesota GM Bill Guerin has shot down interest in Monahan before. It just doesn't seem like a likely trading partner for Calgary.

Thread: Hometown Hero

I know you said this was unrealistic but I'm just thinking out loud. Who do you guys think would command the best return between Point and Eichel? Especially with the injury/surgery Jack needs I'd go with Point.

Thread: Flames sign 2 players

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alfie11</b></div><div>Interesting number for Mackey considering he only played a handful of games. Presumably this means they see him as a fixture on the 3rd pair with either Valimaki (commentators’ nightmare lol) or Zadorov. Not sure why Richardson needed to be paid more than league min tbh, we were probably the only team calling him. 4C or scratch most likely.</div></div>

I could have seen Richardson as a PTO. Maybe Calgary struggles to attract vets on PTOs. I guess depth is depth and he's still a solid defensive forward but we need to score goals as well. Love the Mackey signing though.

Thread: the switch

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nhl_oilers</b></div><div>No. Coleman is worse than Hyman, and Zadorov is worse than Keith. Yes, Keith is overpaid but better, and experienced. I like our signings and trades, and can’t wait to see them play.</div></div>

A lot of Flames fans also can't wait to see the new Oiler additions play. The Oilers got better in the top 6. Worse on the blueline. And is Mike Smith, who is turning 40 during the season, gonna play out of his mind again? I guess we'll see.

Thread: Boston gets Monahan

You'll see that a lot. A lot of users focus on a small handful of guys for each team. Last year you'd think Liljegren, Kerfoot, and a 1st would get the Leafs any top player in the league.

I'd do it. This is probably the absolute most I'd be comfortable giving up for Eichel.

if I had my way I'd like to see Mackey play a good chunk of games with the Flames this year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>flamesfan</b></div><div>Flames decline. Tkachuk is untouchable</div></div>

As much as I'd prefer MT to bounce back AND sign an extension when it comes time if there is a real chance he wants to take his talents to STL this is a great package to get in return.

Thread: Tarasenko-Tkachuk

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>flamesfan</b></div><div>Robert Thomas has never had more than 45 points and has a career average of 0.51 pts per game which isn’t bad but not even close to getting tkachuk. Also Thomas just came off a pretty bad season</div></div>

That's true, but to be fair he won't get more than 45 points until he does. That could very well be next season. Either way I'm in no rush to move Chucky. Ideally he bounces back next season and gets an extension.

Thread: Tarasenko-Tkachuk

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>flamesfan</b></div><div>It’ll cost a lot more than an extremely injury prone tarasenko, Dunn who is at the position the flames have 0 need for and a prospect. There’s no one on the blues the flames would trade tkachuk for</div></div>

While I somewhat agree, if Robert Thomas was included that would make it more interesting return.

I'd never do this from the Flames end. Losing the 2 guys that care at all would be brutal for morale.

Thread: Cap Dump

Maybe you got it mixed up before you sent it. But BUF likely has to add their own first rounder to get rid of that contract. Like this:
To BUF: CAR 2021 3rd round pick
To CAR: Jeff Skinner, BUF 2021 1st round pick

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>flamesfan</b></div><div>That is terrible, the flames don’t even pick up the phone this is so bad. It is pure garbage the flames easily reject.

Thread: Next year

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Radu47</b></div><div>Researching before posting is cool

Age 21 Beaudin 27th overall pick in a good draft

10 points in 9 AHL games so far this year (!!)

15 points in 23 games between NHL/AHL

'Nothing of value'</div></div>
I think what he means is not enough value. Hanifin is basically a top 2 defender now which they’ve been hoping for. So a guy putting up good numbers in the AHL feels light on value for a top 2 dman.
