<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>flamesfan</b></div><div>If you think tkachuk should be moved you clearly aren’t a flames fan and haven’t ever watched any flames games. Flames aren’t going to trade thier best player for a few prospects that could easily bust</div></div>

Oh god. Hahaha I have seen you have this "you're not a fan" conversation with other people, it's incredible just how whiney and stupid you choose to be. I hope people don't think you actually represent how Flames fans think.

Tkachuk's contract next season if he plays the same way he did this season is a mess. Flames have to pay him 9 to keep him and he can run to UFA after that. Or they can sign him for less long term and bank on him bouncing back, but why would he do that if he has 9 sitting in front of him and the chance to hit the open market for more money the following season?
Production wise he hasn't been close to the best player this year, Lindholm is by far the Flames best player right now and it's not close, Gaudreau has been better this year, in terms of on ice impact, Tanev has left more of an impression, Hanifin before he was hurt looked better, Backlund has played better than Tkachuk for 80% of the year. You think Tkachuk is untouchable after the showing this year it shows that you'd blindly follow whatever EA Sports tells you to on your playstation, get a clue, you give all the other Flames fans on here a really bad name.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>flamesfan</b></div><div>So a bottom pairing defensmen and 4th line center are an improvement over a second line cente?</div></div>

That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard, it actually shocks me that all you could understand from what was written is that.

Pinto probably looks like Batherson next year, Brannstrom is a huge upgrade on the D core that the Flames rolled out this year. If Tkachuk moves in a deal the left side behind him is still GAudreau, Mangiapane, Dube, Zary, Pelletier, MEP. Plus a top ten pick that could make an impact this season, PLUS, 7 million in cap room PLUS no need to pay Tkachuk 9 at the end of next season. This deal literally improves the Flames for next season and gives them room improve the RW and to sign a proper 2C (Danault, RNH) and ditch Monahan

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>flamesfan</b></div><div>It’s doesn’t upgrade them while sutter is here maybe in the future but right now brannstrom isn’t any better than a bottom pairing d man and pinto is an ahl player. And the value is still not there even if the flames were entering a rebuild</div></div>

I'm not sure what Sean Monahan you're thinking of but this is back to back half point per game season Sean Monahan we are talking about. Braanstrom projects to be similar to or better than Valimaki, that's a perfect bottom pairing D for next season and beyond. Pinto finished the college season with 32 point in 28 games, 13th in the country in points per game, jumped to the NHL and has three helpers in eight games on a bad team, that's not an AHL player whatsoever, that immediately fills the need for a right shot C behind Backlund.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gretzkyghosts</b></div><div>Great, this whole season Buffalo has been in the hardest conference Boston, Pittsburgh, Washington, New York, New York, Philadelphia yet Montour out performed Hanifin.
I offered you four stats that are used to gage a player performance and Montour is better in all, but you persist.
Possession stats are nice, but who hits, blocks, scores and in on the ice for goals are the tasting of the pudding.</div></div>

Hahaha you can just say you don’t understand and that’s okay! You ask 7 billion people and 6,999,999,998 say Hanifin is better, I say two because you exist and Brandon Montour’s grandmother. The NFL draft is on, Kentucky Derby, F1 race and Blue Jays. I’ll get to you Monday when hockey is relevant again, in the meantime do a little work and be better.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gretzkyghosts</b></div><div>I guess you missed my last two lines, go back and read them.
But if you must continue the food fight.
Career:
+/- +13 v - 39
Hits 328 (1.13/gm) v 402 (0.92/gm)
BLK 341 (1.18/gm) v 432 (0.99/gm)
You tell me who is first Hanifin or Montour?
Then tell me what other stats you would use to compare
Regardless, it is a bad trade for Buffalo.</div></div>

Read your last two lines perfectly fine.. they don't change what I said whatsoever, at no point did I say it was good for Buffalo, don't make up arguments to argue with yourself. Hanifin is miles and miles better than Montour is, it's not close, you used points to compare D men which is hilarious to start with and then hit em with the +/- to top it off.

Career 5 on 5 possession metrics, even just over the last two years the possession favours Hanifin, look at the possession quality over the last couple years and their careers, it's not close. Hanifin has also been playing against one of McDavid or Draisatl for a fifth of his season this year, that effects things. You've provided the bare minimum and want to base an argument on that.. it's not working out for you.
