Thread: If tre doesnt do this I quit
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>No. Puts more onus on Buffalo to flip Monohan, CGY can and should do that, Valimaki is redundant, Sabres are set with LD (Dahlin-Power-Samuelsson-Johnson-Valimaki) if Valimaki was so good he wouldnt be a thrown-in on trades in the majority of CGY ACGMs. Zary and the '22 first would be 2 pieces but its still off. Also the 4 first rounders thing was debunked weeks ago. Krebs &gt; Zary - Hague &gt;&gt; Valimaki</div></div>

Not sure what you have against Valimaki. We expect him to be a top 4 guy this year, but of course he's available for Eichel. Plays on the right side too btw where he is IMO more effective.
Monahan &gt;&gt; Smith
CGY 1st will likely be much earlier than Vegas'
Pretty similar offer in terms of value.

Thread: Big Shake up to compete with the big guns
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juiceman</b></div><div>Sorry that’s not the way to do things no point in pissing of other GMs. Not only will the Canucks hate you, the rest of the league will see you guys as rats. Canucks can sign Petey and Hughes easily even if that means saving little money to resign other players</div></div>

This is such a myth. Does the rest of the league see Bergevin as a rat after the Aho offer sheet? And frankly I don't think the Flames organization cares if the Canucks hate them, because they probably already do seeing as we're divisional rivals and signed their goalie and top pairing D-man last summer. There is literally no reason not to send Petey an offer sheet. Stopping Vancouver from being able to sign other top 6 players or D-men is definitely in the Flames interest if theyre gonna be battling eachother for a playoff spot.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy12Bob</b></div><div>Bertuzzi scores between 50-60 points in a full season. He also plays PP and PK and is great at blocking shots and playing defense.

Dubé will not perform at that level for another 2-3 years at least.

<strong>Therefore Detroit cannot trade him unless they get a better player back that replaces him immediately or the deal is such an overpayment that it becomes impossible to say no.</strong>

Dubé does not replace Bertuzzi therefore the only other option for you is to overpay by so much that the deal cannot be refused.

<strong>This is not about "value". This about Detroit needing what Bertuzzi brings.</strong></div></div>


Detroit needs Shane Wright, and Dube is better than you think.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sporkknife</b></div><div>Depends on term. From the rumblings, $7.25 million for 3 years on a bridge most likely. The issue with going long term with Petey is there aren't good comparables. To go to 7/8 years the price probably goes to around $10 mil. VAN has the cap space either way. Obviously the higher you offer the less space we have, but why do that just to tick a GM off when there's no chance of getting the player (the Bergevin special I guess). If you really wanted to, someone like Cal Foote or Ross Colton from Tampa would actually be feasible to acquire.</div></div>

Fair enough, I think we'll see a few teams try to take advantage of Tampa this off-season. And yeah I'd say there is definitely incentive for the Flames to offer sheet EP. Vancouver is their hated divisional rival after all, so the less cap space the better. (And you never know with Jim Dim, he might not match. Win/Win situation IMO)
