Thread: Horney Enough to Solidify the D
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Marino4Norris</b></div><div>He’s still worth his deal, that’s the amount he would get in free agency

A player being older and having a higher cap number doesn’t automatically make them a cap dump

He’s signed for three more seasons, not until he’s 40

He might not be great the last year but he would produce as a #2RW on Calgary for at least two seasons</div></div>

Taking on a Hornqvist will significantly hamper the Flames chances to keep Gaudreau and to extend Tkachuk. You have to remember that they already have 5.2 mill wasted on Lucic and another 3 in buyouts. They aren’t in any position to take on players that aren’t playing to their contracts. Mangiapane can put up the same numbers or better for far cheaper than Hornqvist

Thread: Dumba White Kuemper
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Old_Flames_Fan</b></div><div>My question is why trade Monahan? It leaves you weak up the middle? He is considered a top 20 center. Unless you have a plan to replace him with a better center, I don't see him getting traded.</div></div>

I really don't think Monahan is a top 20 centre in the NHL. He plays C, but is essentially a winger with the way he plays the game. He doesn't drive play nor create very much for his linemates. He's also very limited defensively. I get that he tried to improve that aspect of his game, but he's still a one trick pony. If he's not scoring he isn't doing much for you, he's not a player who brings value with his defensive game.

I could see them trading Monahan because of the ability of Lindholm to play C. Ward has referenced on a few occasions that Lindholm reminds him a lot of Patrice Bergeron. If you have a player like that, you may as well use him in the game's most valuable position
