Thread: I can feel it coming in the air tonight
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juice</b></div><div>So...it's a weak draft...and a late first shouldn't be take as similar value to, say, a late first last year.

Do I want to give up a first for Tanev? No. But I can see it happening. This package is too rich...but maybe Tanev + some depth piece.

Or something like a 1st + 4th + ahl player for Tanev + 3rd

Hopefully treliving has a solid understanding of what Tanev wants on an extension...if that's not something he wants to commit to, I don't think he should give up a first for a rental.</div></div>If something between the 2 teams happens, I suspect it will be Tanev @ 50% for a 1st and a small amount of cap (around 1m), which may be Timmins as his salary fits and Tanev would push him further down in the depth chart.

Thread: Trade Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MwyNyamBabyYoda</b></div><div>Honestly I like your trade too, I was thinking about adding hanafin but I think that’s too much. The stars don’t really need to much more forward depth, I’d gladly have Aj Greer as a 13th forward. But otherwise, Blumel and Karlstrom have both played nhl games and Stankoven and Bourque could easily slot into the lineup if injuries happen. If that makes sense. The only thing I’d do is swap kyrou out for damani or blumel, the stars have no real defensive prospects other than Bichsel and Kyrou. They have a lot of forward prospect though. I’m also not a flames fan so I don’t know what they’d want for the future.</div></div>I mostly picked Kyrou because he was a step below the big prospects, but better than Blumel/Damiani... that said I wouldn't be upset over Damiani

Hanifin would definitely cost more, I'd guess probably a 1st and Bourque, or a 1st, Bichsel and another prospect/pick

Thinking about the Tanev offer a but more, and as a Flames fan I love the possibility of an overpay, but I'm not sure how realistic it is. As the possibility of a massive overpay is there, and you also strip the team of depth.

I'm going to counter with something I think is more realistic. based on your proposal while adding depth.

<strong>to Dallas:</strong>
- Chris Tanev @ 50% (2,250,000 - UFA '24)
- AJ Greer (762,500 - UFA '24)
- Keven Rooney (1,300,000 - UFA '24)
- Dennis Gilbert (752,500 - UFA '24)
<strong>to Calgary:</strong>
- Christian Kyrou (878,333 - RFA '26
- Radek Faksa (3,250,000 - UFA '25)
- Joel Hanley (787,500 - UFA '25)
- 1st in 2024
- Cond. 5th in 2025 becomes 3rd if Dallas reaches 2024 WCF

If my math is correct, this would keep Dallas under the cap, as well as give them a couple depth forwards, while we swap depth defensemen giving us one that has an additional year since we're potentially moving so many bodies. I know it's more risk for Dallas if they don't reach the WCF, but significantly less if they win the Cup, which I believe you have a real chance at doing.

Thread: Wagon
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Maximporebski</b></div><div>You are saying essentially a 2nd + 4th + 7th doesn't get Kuzmenko? a guy who Calgary doesn't need in this chapter</div></div>It is absolutely not enough, and it's not for 3 reasons.
1. We're retaining 2.75m
2. Your cap dump is owed 7.2m after this season... keep in mind that a significantly better player in Monahan had just 6m owing on his contract and it took a 1st to dump him.
3. Kuzmenko scored 39 last year, even if it is only an outside shot of him doing it again; it's worth it because if he can score at close to that pace next year, maybe he brings in a 1st or multiple 2nds at next years deadline.

So, you want us to eat basically 10m in salary over the next 3 seasons... I'm sorry but that alone would cost you a 1st+... nevermind giving up the potential of a better return on Kuz

Basically you're putting garnish around a **** sandwich and expect us to still eat it
