Seen enough trades for Gaudreau
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>2 years from FA and already rumoured to be walking to Philly! Your not going to get elite young talent for 2 years worth of service. Also Gaudreau has done absolutely nothing in the playoffs like ever. Not worth more than the proposal IMO.</div></div>
Yes, TWO YEARS. That is a ton of time to fall in love with a city and negotiate an extension. And there are no ****ing rumors of him wanting to go to Philly, like 3 years ago a Philly radio station asked him if he'd like to play for the Flyers one day and he said something like "that'd be cool", like there was anything else he could say and ever since people have been running their yaps about him "wanting to play at home". His playoff struggles are also largely blown out of proportion,
That proposal is beyond garbage. Like it or not, Kotkaniemi and Suzuki are still lotto tickets, they are far from sure things, so claiming a guy a year removed from a 99 point season isn't worth one of them is downright laughable and bordering on complete and utter stupidity.

Not ridiculous at all. Point per game players with some term on their deals are rarely available and don't come cheap; add in that he's on an excellent contract during a flat cap and Gaudreau is worth even more. Frankly anything less than an elite prospect and a first, would be highway robbery against the Flames

How far do they go
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alfie11</b></div><div>Problem with Simon is I think he’ll be the 13th forward (JG-SM-EL MT-MB-AM ML-SB-DD JN-DR-JL leaves Simon out) and if he’s in the lineup then Nordstrom, an actual PKer, is likely out. So yeah, I would like to see Dube step into that role, he’s fast, works hard, and has nice hands, and because he likely isn’t going to be in the top 6, the more we can get him out there the better. Not taking penalties also works lol but that isn’t going to change at this stage in their careers.
Which coach you like more is up for debate but they’re both established and have decent success in the playoffs (Gallant went to finals, Boudreau went a couple rounds p much every year). I don’t think either is really elite (ngl the only coaches I consider elite are Trotz and maybe Cooper lol) but both are experienced and not a first time head coach which is better now that we’re in our window regardless of who we picked. I just think management doesn’t like spending money on coaches and I don’t agree with that philosophy, especially at a crucial time (we can’t afford to waste any of the next 2-3 years, gotta go deep while we’re competitive).</div></div>
A lot of Flames fans have the opinion that the Flames ownership doesn't like to pay for coaches, but Peters was a quite expensive coach, IIRC he was making $3m in Carolina before coming over. SO I'm not sure I buy that, but we all have to remember the list of coaches to repeat as Cup Champs, is extremely short. So for all we know the coach matters even less than we think, lol.
I also think you are right about Simon being the #13, but with injuries he'll still be in the lineup alot.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gmonwy</b></div><div>Thanks. Who should I remove?</div></div>
I suspect we see Backlund or Bennett exposed up front and probably Tanev as a defenseman due to the optics of exposing Gio, as if he is taken it is 3 years of Cap relief. Valimaki has also been playing RD over in Finalnd, so if he is played as RD, a great season by him could see him pass Tanev on the depth chart too, and potentially opens up a spot for Mackey on the 3rd pair.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alfie11</b></div><div>I agree, it's unfortunate that they chose to bring him back just because he got us to the first round (???) in a tough situation when he clearly showed he's not a great tactician. It looks especially foolish when you realize guys like Gallant and Boudreau are out there. I agree with the PK comment too, I'm hoping they teach one of Tkachuk/Bennett/Dube to kill penalties, I think adding strong defensive play to their games sets us up really well long term and gets better players on the ice more often, which is always a plus imo</div></div>
When it comes to Boudreau, I honestly don't understand the love he gets as an "elite" coach; his teams have underachieved in the playoffs for the majority of his career. I did want Gallant though, pretty badly. That said, I do see the red flags, being let go twice in such a short period of time, both rather unceremoniously, has to make you wonder what those skeletons are. After Gallant though, I'm not sure anyone would have been a clear better choice.
For the PK, I think we see Dube get more PK time; he was a great PKer in Jr and at the World Jrs. I think Dominik Simon could transition to PK as well, everything we've heard is that he works hard and is solid defensively, seems like a good fit to try on the PK. Of course the best thing we could do is have our top PKers in Gio and Backlund cut down the amount of minor penalties they take.

Honestly, I'm not super stoked about Ward returning, as I was not a fan of his roster decisions in the playoffs. I feel he may be or biggest weakness, but it was his first taste of the playoffs as a HC, so I will give him the benefit of the doubt and give him a chance to show he can learn from his mistakes. I'm also not keen on our PK forwards this year, if Nordstrom plays the top 4 are good, but we need a #5 guy to step up badly as Backlund is always among the team leaders in minor penalties taken.

if they are sellers at the deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gmonwy</b></div><div>Do people care about other teams caps? Flames would be over even with 50% retention</div></div>
That really depends since this scenario is at the trade deadline. Injuries, other trades, recalls/demotions are all going to be factors. To add Demers at the deadline at 50% (assuming the deadline is 2/3 of the way into the season) the Flames would probably only need about 700k in available space.
For example if there is a scenario where the AHL club plays out of Calgary, the Flames could theoretically paper Valimaki, Dube and players who have recently cleared waivers to the AHL during off days at home and save some cap space.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>Lol, you are horrible. What does yakupov have to do with konecny getting better every year. Again he is 23 and producing at a great rate, plays a great complete game and is trending upward still. You get the younger cheaper player with more term. And the right handed forward you need... and a prospect.</div></div>
Yak was nothing more than an example of why saying "he hasn't had a career year yet, he's 23" is a stupid statement.
Yes, Konecny is younger and he on his own cheaper, but since he is worse, so you also need to improve another roster position to make up for what is lost, which eliminates any cap savings and possibly costs more. And who ****ing cares if he is right handed? Yes, it would be nice to have another top-6 RHS, but it's not something you make a bad trade over.... and whoopie, another LD prospect because with Hanifin, Valimaki, Mackey & Kylington (plus this years draft class), that is really a massive need....
I'm so done wasting my time on this stupidity.

Tell Nail Yakupov that you need to be older than 23 to have a career year.
The point is Gaudreau is a PPG player that had an off year, after 4 years in the league Konecny is unlikely to ever become a PPG player. Dude has exceeded 50 points once in 4 years, he has potential but his potential is not as good as Gaudreau is. Being younger does not equal better.

Konecny had a handful more points in a career year while Gaudreau who had a down year has been a more than a point per game p[layer for the better part of his career. That is not bias, it is a fact.

The Flames only have 5 legit top 6 forwards, it does not makes sense to move Lindholm to center and push Backlund to the 3rd line and force another 3rd liner into the top 6.
