PLD to CGY it doesnt really make sense but an interesting idea
I get what you are trying to do but PLD is not worth what you propose. I think he has the potential to surpass Monahan and become a true #1 C. However, he hasn't yet. Both are on similar career stats at PLD age. Savard is also a cap dump which should bring down the proposal. I think Monahan and possibly a 1st (as I said you'd have to overpay), preferably a 2nd is the most Calgary should pay. Somebody will way over pay hopefully not Calgary.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Westerner69</b></div><div>Yes sir, and that is what I am afraid of. We won't get through the playoffs with this team. Gio is sliding, Gudreau, although talented, is no leaders, no fire in the playoffs, and a whiner quite frankly).

Markstrom scares me with that contract, past injury issues etc. I love how Tre started with this, but now what! Thanks for the respectful reply, Cheers,

I agree with what your saying abiut Johnny. He needs to learn like Ovie did what it takes to win in the playoffs. He is still an elite talent, but I do think he moves on at the end of his current deal. I’m not saying they are a Cup team, but I do think that we had some bad luck against Dallas this year (Colorado last year). The team needs to stop taking their foot of the throat. Calgary had Dallas against the ropes and it slipped through their fingers. Does the result change if Talbot doesn’t let in some softies? Does it change if Chucky doesn’t get hurt? No matter which team you are, you still need some luck to win the cup
I hope that Markstrom can help with the soft goals that hurt us. Tanev remains to be seen if its a good or bad deal. Miles on his body are a concern, but it may be a good deal for the first 2-3 years and hopefully the cap goes up making it not as bad if he falls off.
I think, we need to not sell our younger guys short. Up front Mangiapane and Dube have progressed very nice. Hopefully Sam finally lives up to his draft status. if those happen on the ront end, we have more weapons.
On the back end, hopefully Valimaki, Andersson and Hanafin also continue to grow. If they do, awesome, I think it takes this team further along.
If Tre trades Johnny, we are likely looking at a lower offensive player coming back and futures. Calgary is pushing to contend now and I am not sure they are as far off as we think. Talbot makes that save in the last 12 seconds, Calgary is up 3-1 and likely wins the series. Would they have gone to the finals?,who knows but they would have made round two. Once your in you never know what can happen.

I agree. I could see Rittich heading out and (please don’t hate me) Smith coming back on a one year 1m deal (or two year for expansion compliance) to give Markstrom a rest with the condensed season. The extra cash goes to Mangiapane on a two year bridge deal which puts him at 2.5 to 3m.

If Tre can get both that would be awesome. I think this is more realistic than signing Hall. Calgary has been after Toffoli for a while now. I think its pretty close to what will likely happen. I agree about Vatanen. I see a D man in the 3.5-4 range to give some extra cap space which means no Tj or Barrie.
What do you think Zadorov gets from Col? To bad they have so much cap space, and would likely match an offer sheet. Could be an issue for them the following year if he gets a bug raise. Yes he is a left shot but a real Ahole to play against.

GM CHALLENGE 3 - 1 TRADE 1-2 UFAS 1 DEPTH SIGNING
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MethodMan</b></div><div>I'm not saying it was god awful or anything, as you know, I don't mince words when I do, lol. A few things though....
1) While Eberle might have a lower cap hit, it is only 750k lower and che is very clearly the inferior player. And Mayfield being involved actually has us eating cap.
2) Will Mayfield be remotely the same player away from Trotz?
3) Now is the time to be greedy. Gaudreau has 2 years left and that is a ton of time, he's in his prime and signed to a sweetheart of a deal during a time when teams have no gate revenue.
In retrospect, my counter offer is no better than your suggestion.
We should target New Jersey for #7 , Palmieri and a 2nd in 2021. If they balk at #7, we ask for #18 , Ty Smith, Palmieri, and a 2nd in 2021</div></div>

The thing is this, Johnny has 2 yrs left. Eberle has three at less of a cap hit. IMO Johnny is not staying in Calgary after this contract. People want a right shot RW which Eberle is. The other two were added to top it up. I was trying not to be greedy with the return.

I think if Goaltending were better in the first round Calgary moves on. Talbot let in some softies in game 5 and 6. As fans we hope for big UFA signings such at Hall, Pietro, Murray, Markstrom, etc,m but common sense says something different. As for the trade, it not like Vegas is sending a 1C or someone like Stone to a division rival, they would hypothetically be sending a 3rd and 4th liner.

Building through UFA
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Different_Perspective_85</b></div><div>This would be an incredibly underwhelming offseason. As such, this is likely the most realistic scenario I have seen on this site pertaining to this team. I suspect we see something similar occurring, give or take a few semantics.
I doubt it's Hall but I could see an overpriced W come in (ala Hoffman) and continuing the disappointment.
For all the talk of shaking up this "core", MAYBE one of them is dealt. They will then pontificate about how hard it is to make deals in this league and blame the cap. They've already begun laying the groundwork for the spin job on this when Tre came out yesterday and stating change for the sake of change.... blah blah blah excuses excuses excuses.
Add to that the leaked info to insiders about the mutual desire to have Brodie & Talbot return. The predictable spin obviously being they will probably come "runner up" for Markstrom but simultaneously they "got their guy". I could absolutely see them trying to do too much as a result of taking (WAY) too long to make a decision on all the balls they have in the air and losing out on a more cost effective Talbot then ending up overpaying for Holtby or Khudobin. As such we are likely to see a similar iteration to this years team next year only an overpriced Brodie and then listen to more bull**** about how "tight" this group is, how much they've learned and how close they were (they weren't. By a significant margin) to advancing and further extending the long era of mediocrity this team has been know for for 16 years.
The only move I don't see happening, in addition to the Hall signing is I don't see them trading Rittich. I would wager your contract projections are pretty damn close.
For what its worth, If it's a choice between seeing what I just described and this proposal: I take this proposal and run. A slight shift of strength in the roster (which will likely have them still finishing 7th or 8th and get bounced in the first round again) but with the caveat there is at least asset acquisition so they can restock the prospect pool faster.</div></div>
Seeing as Dallas went to the finals and beat Calgary, I think, the core likely gets one more year with a couple of tweaks. I do think we will see a new goalie and agree Dave stays. With a condensed schedule this year, you need two decent goalies. Talbot was good but not great. Calgary needs a goalie who can steal a game here and there. I hope they go UFA to keep futures.
As for the wing, sounds like Toffoli stay in Van, so I wouldn't be that upset with Hoffman seems to have had no issue in Flordia.

Building through UFA
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canadianape</b></div><div>I mean i worry about Halls injury history as well but its pretty hard thing to predict and if he turns out to be healthy he could be a serious a game changer.
I agree with you on Markstrom and in an ideal world i think the flames would give him a 6x6 with at NMC but im not sure thats going to happen which is why i picked up holtby who in my mind is an easier guy for the flames to pick up
The carolina trade has turned out to be fairly neutral for calgary. sure we picked up a pretty strong RW in lindholm and a serviceable middle pairing defenseman in hanifin but we lost a top 10 D in the league in hamilton, ferland who has been a quality middle six forward with some intangibles in his game in heart and muscle and Adam Fox who has continued his development to become one of the top young D in the league who last year was probably only eclipsed by Makar and Hughes interms of rookie defense.
Did hamilton and fox want out? yes. but that doesn't mean its an asset we didnt lose.</div></div>
I agree Hall could be huge if he stays healthy. I am not against Holtby but would prefer a one year show me deal, which he wouldn't likely sign. I get why you picked him.
Fox wasn't signing in Calgary nor Carolina for that matter. It was well known he was going to do an Erixon and go to NY. For all we know maybe the Rangers after getting burned by Erixon were not willing to trade for Fox when they knew they were getting him for free. There is a reason Tre added Fox. Hamilton wanted out yes, and losing Ferland wasn't as huge IMO as we couldn't likely have resigned him for what his ask was. Loved his play but he was often hurt, and I worry his career is going to be cut short. I still feel it was a solid trade. I think Hanafin has not peeked and there is more there. Lindholm still has more to give also. I think it was a solid hockey trade that worked well for both teams. I think Dougie needs a nice quiet place to play that's not hockey crazy so he does well in Carolina. Still give the edge to Calgary in the trade, as all Carolina has left is Dougie and Fox and Ferland for zero.

they team we have right now will not win anything. the faster people realize that the better cause we have been stuck in mediocrity for the last 8 seasons</div></div>
So you think the Calgary/Carolina trade was a step in the wrong direction? I think it was a win.
You did address the goalie issue with Holtby (if he bounces back). I still think Markstrom can be had for that amount. Yes he asked for 6m from Van but its the NMC that held things up. Which I get Van wants to protect Demko and a NMC forces them to protect Markstrom. Markstrom has rumours tying him to Calgary so where theres smoke theres fire. Isn’t an NMC worth 500k a year on deals?
I’m worried about Hall Thats a lot of cap for a guy that gets hurt a lot. With that, he is a top player when in the line up. Bigger than Johnny so thats a benefit.
I get the Philly trade getting futures and making room for Hall.
