Thread: fixing the mess
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canadianape</b></div><div>thats not getting bent over.

hes a one dimensional playmaker who is a liability in everyother aspect of the game. people have figured out how to play against him. (apply any sort of pressure to him). as soon as a team figures out to shut him down the flames crumble behind him. he also does not show up in the playoffs whatsoever for the exact same reason i listed above. he also is not a heart and soul guy that can get the rest of the team to elevate his game.

again hes one dimensional. other GMS in the league no this and we are not gonna get blue chip assets for a guy who has that many flaws</div></div>

You bent yourself over.

You traded the best player in the deal by a country mile, and added a 1st round pick to get a middle six forward and a platoon goalie with starter upside. The Flames would't trade Gaudreau for McCann and Jarry by himself, never mind adding a 1st to the deal.

Gaudreau is a perennial all star, has put up on average point per game stats for 5 seasons now, which includes a 99 point season where he was 4th in Hart voting.

Better lube yourself up first.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canadianape</b></div><div>ok flames fans lets sit around and stay in this **** mediocre rank 14-18 for the next 10 years with a core that is unable to elevate, an aging captain and below average goalies. this is the same problem that we have with our GM. never does anything risky and we never improve. he failed the zucker trade, was thwarted in the kadri trade, failed the hall trade. overvaluing mediorce assets like johnny gaudreau who is incredibly one dimensional then we can keep losing in the first round. some of you so called flames fans are so delusional that we have a good team or on a good path to winning. big changes are required but no one is willing to take the risk</div></div>

The answer to the Flames problems isn't to get bent the **** over in a Gaudreau trade.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JelloPony</b></div><div>You Flames fans are funny. If he continues on the same path as this season that would be one sweet deal for the Flames. On the other side of it as a Habs fan and because of the season he just had that in my opinion is too much of a gamble for him.</div></div>

What if he doesn't continue on the same path? The guy just his worst year out of the last 5 and he still put up more points than anyone on the Habs except for Tatar. Johnny has averaged a point per game over the last 5 seasons, and that includes his "down" year he just had and it also includes a 99 point season where he was 4th in Hart voting.

The Flames don't sell low on their best offensive player just because he had a beloe average (for him) year.
