You're probably right, but that 1.2-1.7M is going to matter in a flat cap. CGY could also structure heavier salary in Year 2 meaning his next QO would have to be quite high for them to retain his rights. It's as much about screwing VAN as it is about getting him.

Thread: Offer Sheet EP40

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>The problem with this plan is it also relies on moving enough cap out to make the offersheet. You chose to move Monahan here and if we fail to get EP40 then we are left with a giant hole</div></div>

I would have to double check this, but I believe you can be up to 10% over the cap during the offseason (so $89.5M total) so in theory you wouldn't make the Monahan trade until you land Pettersson.

Thread: Offer Sheet EP40

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheAlien</b></div><div>They definitely match and it doesn't really change the cap situation</div></div>

I'm looking at a lot of Armchair GM's and most have Pettersson at 7-8M with term. Even if the Flames don't get him, it leaves them in a tighter position with a flat cap, and then the need to renegotiate in a few years. IMO there's a lot of benefit for CGY even if the Flames don't land him.

Lindholm is probably the most untradeable forward on the Flames right now. Doing everything for them and on an amazing contract.

Thread: Monahan

As a Flames fan I would strongly consider this trade given that the Flames are looking for a winger although Tuch isn't right handed shooting. I wonder if we would see a conditional pick involved along the same lines of the Lucic/Neal trade pick where like if Monahan has x points and Tuch has x less, then CGY gets a 3rd or vice versa.

Thread: Lucic

While I like Byron, with that kind of retention $ I'm fine just holding Lucic at $5.25 rather than Byron at 3.4 + Lucic's 2.5M. Lucic seems to fill some sort of role on the fourth line and I'm not sure if there's a good spot for Byron.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alfie11</b></div><div>does nordstrom clear waivers tho?</div></div>

Considering all the other teams could have signed him, I think he likely does clear. But even the limited risk of "losing" him is worth it to get Pelleter some NHL experience imo.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ajp_18</b></div><div>Not possible. Columbus doesn’t have the center depth to make this trade happen.</div></div>

I don't think this trade happens without Monahan going back, plus it doesn't make a ton of sense for Calgary to move Gaudreau if they're trying to win now.

Thread: PLD Trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eatnpeach</b></div><div>Calgary is overpaying big time.</div></div>

I think that's what it's going to take to get him off the Jackets and over any other bidders. His contract makes him a lot easier to move relative to what his cap hit should be.

Thread: Palmieri Again

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>PK sucks, also Palmieri is not waiving to Canada</div></div>

Both fair points, but I think it makes the forward core a lot deeper and allows them to comfortably move Lindholm to C. It could potentially help that Palmieri and Ward spent three years together in NJ if he needs reasons to waive.

Thread: fair for duclair or no

I think if there was a four year deal out there for Duclair, he probably would've already signed it. Wouldn't be surprised to see him closer to 1-2 years by 2.5M with the cap the way it is. I also don't know if adding Duclair really improves anything if comes at the cost of moving Mangiapane out of the Top 6 and trading Ryan. I think the only way you consider that is if you're adding a bonafide Top 6 winger and Duclair may need another year to prove it for me.

Thread: Calgary Flames signed Andrew Mangiapane (2 Years / $2,425,000 AAV)

As a Flames fan, would've liked more term but totally understand it's not really doable with the tight cap situation. Good deal for a player that's getting better.

Thread: Florida Blockbuster

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jcambers</b></div><div>I'd do the trade, but I highly doubt Florida would...
Plus, if you trade away Monohan I feel Gaudreau is much more likely to leave via free agency.</div></div>

I'd be torn on what Gaudreau would do. He might be leaving regardless, but giving him a Top 10C (potentially even Top 5C) could actually help him consider staying rather than Monahan who I like but doesn't add much without Gaudreau. In the other sense, building some sort of core around Barkov, Tkachuk, Lindholm, and Mangiapane long term up front could be wiser long-term.

Thread: DeAngelo to Calgary

Flames fan here. I like the idea of this deal. My only question is around what you think DeAngelo might cost to re-sign this summer. Hanifin at 4.95M for four more years is a pretty good contract. Other than that I like getting a RHD as the Flames are a bit overloaded at LHD and won't have much on the right side. Looking forward to discussing!
