Thread: Retool
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingofRnR</b></div><div>Will have to retain in Markstrom to get that return (IF we can even get close to that for him anymore)

Definitely a HARD NO to the TOR Trade</div></div>

I am a Leafs fan, and that is a abolutely terrible for Calgary.

1. Andersson's contract for what he does is phenomenal. Perhaps one of the best contracts in the NHL right now.

2. Magniapane at $2.9 million would be a steal imo. He is the kind of mucky player the Leafs do need, but....

3. And two picks?🤣

4. if you go waaaaay back in my profile you will find my arguments why Marner never was, never has been or never will be worth $11 million. He is great sure. Not $11 million worth of it.

If I were Conroy, I would find it hard to justify moving Andersson for Marner straight up....... just because of the contracts.

Most fans valuation of Marner is absurd. This is just another case.

Thread: Couple big trades and UFA signings
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shaun80</b></div><div>Kk has the potential to be the next Sharky, and if not he's dirt cheap to buy out. Sharky made it sound like he doesn't want to stick around so we might as well move him now. He's not near as valuable as Necas as he is a UFA after next season.</div></div>

KK is an overpaid bottom 6 player with 6 years left on his contract. 6 years is not dirt cheap to buy out. Sharky as he said just doesn't know, he hasn't been in Calgary very long and extension talks haven't even started with him yet. It's good that he was honest instead of copping out with the standard BS answer "I love it here and I want to stay" most players give to those questions... Toffoli for example everywhere he goes it's "I love it here, my wife loves it here and we want to stay here" but when he doesn't immediately get offered a big raise with plenty of term as a 32 year old pending UFA he suddenly wants a trade.

Necas is an arbitration eligible RFA who can just sign his QO and be UFA a year or two from now too. He's only 6 months younger than Sharky so age isn't a factor. Production is similar this year with Sharky actually being ahead a little bit with 7 goals and 6 points more in 5 more games played (Necas missed 5 games this year, Sharky played all 82).

Thread: The now extinguished Flames
Kylington definitely should be paired with Weegar or Andersson. I'd prefer him with Weegar but until we find another top 4 LD (likely not until the offseason) it makes sense to keep Weegar at LD.

Forward lines are a bit of a work in progress. Can't really do much about them until the this summer when hopefully Conroy can weaponize all that cap space and trade assets to sign or trade for some good players to fill the holes. Centers and right shot forwards with some speed and skill who aren't small compete and work hard.

What'd be really nice is to pick up a true sniper, a goal scorer who's dangerous shooting from just about anywhere in the offensive zone and can change games. Calgary hasn't had one of those in a long time. A big physical top 6 power forward (even a left shot) would be nice too, someone who forechecks, hit's hard, is a disruptive net front presence and gets some greasy goals.
