Thread: the semi rebuild cap dump
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Funksoljah</b></div><div>He's a solid player who had a great year, but he's also only broken 50 points 1 other time. With 1 season left on his contract, his highest value is probably at the TDL and won't be from Buffalo who is flush with scoring wingers.

I also wouldn't hold my breath on getting substantially more for him than what the Flames paid to acquire him. A top 15 pick in this draft isn't happening when other teams know Calgary has cap issues. Look what Bjorkstrand or Patches got last year. The recent wingers that got the kind of value you expect were guys who were younger, and had RFA years left i.e. Fiala, DeBrincat, Meier, and Reinhart.</div></div>

I'm sure your right it wouldn't be as high of a price but Buffalo could use a player like Taffi I don't think it's too far fetched of a trade their would be conditions on a first or 2nd and more likely it would be a NHL ready prospect attached or a low end 4th liner. If anything this would be a trade that could happen in the off season if taffi is traded lets say in December then I would doubt flames get more than a 3rd rounder

Thread: Cap dumping Big UFA signings to take more cap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ComixZone</b></div><div>- Monahan trade is pure trash
- Rittich is overpaid
- Tkachuk is likely underpaid
- Flames won't lose Bennett for an offersheet that returns a 2nd
- Flames won't eat 1.5M on Neal "just because" without giving him a chance to bounce back
- Brodie is worth more than a 2nd and a 3rd
- Flames won't cough up a 1st for Zucker at this stage, and it would have been a mistake at the trade deadline</div></div>

The zucker trade thing they are still saying a first only because how many other teams that are in the works and are willing to give up higher calibre players than frolik. To be honest I don't think Calgary is gonna pursue zucker anymore to much going around making him way more expensive to go get than he really is. With Monahan I did that on a speculation that him and johnny hockey have been fight over a personal issue so I just mocked a quick release deal to get one or other out to reestablish chemistry in the locker room thats why I I signed Johansson in free agency to replace monahans play. I agree with Brodie he is worth more but at the same time it will be hard to convince other GMs to give up more considering the whole league knows he's being traded for cap room basically. Bennet is a wait and see thing thats just another what if mock things. I read an artical yesterday with tre having him second on the signing priority list. Once again I agree with Neal do think they'll give another opportunity to bounce back but at the same they might not want to wait and just dump him somewhere to get cap space for another free agent signing to bolster the right wing a bit more.

Thread: Trade Deadline Moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SmugTkachuk</b></div><div>What part of Jankowski is valuable? I think this may be the last year he has any hint of decent trade value. he is a half decent bottom C with a low ceiling, lacks any offensive ability to drive a line from the middle, is a liability in the defensive zone, people say he can kill penalties but that is strictly because he scored a few on the PK, most of which other player contributed to his chance more than he did himself. He's just not very good and there are better options everywhere.</div></div>

Granted he got help getting those goals on the pk but that's called a team effort and he lead the league in short handed goals. And yes he's a bottom six guy his value don't come in points his value to the team come from his size, the faceoff circle he was one of the better faceoff guys for the team you need a guy like that for those crucial offensive faceoffs and defensive ones as he did all season on. The pk, plus he brings energy to the line up. Maybe its just me but that's what I've seen out of him
