Thread: All-In this year and a few more
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>flamesfan419</b></div><div>I don't see it as "nothing".

Combined Dzingel &amp; Ferland could add 40+ goals to the line-up. Currently they're combined 31 goals half way through this season.
Ferland under Peters I think will understand what his role is far more clearly than in the past, and that is to be a "presence" on the ice, while chipping in with goals every few games. (or more) Ferland could also take some physical pressure off guys like Tkachuk &amp; Bennett. He's got enough skill to become a true power forward.
Dzingel can play any forward position and can move into any slot required.

This also allows for summertime decisions to be made on guys like Frolik.
I appreciate if you don't fully agree, but I think this would be a positive going forward</div></div>


The issue with this is the Flames are giving up 3 of their top prospects in Mang, Dube, and Kylington, as well as their 1st round pick when their cupboard is already pretty bare AND their 2nd. This basically cleans it out completely, to add a few rental players. They can't afford to re-sign Ferland who will likely get 5-6M in the open market. Dzingle is also a UFA who will be due for a larger raise. This is just too much for the Flames to pay for rentals.

I'm not against the flames dealing a 1st round pick, or a 2nd round pick, but it would have to be for a player with some term, who is on a friendly deal. If the Flames are moving a 1st round pick, the only players they likely do this for are Stone, Duchene, Panarin, etc.

Thread: another possibility for EK
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canadianape</b></div><div>this is assuming Karlsson signs with Calgary. no team in the league is trading for karlsson with out some reassurance that he is signing.

the picks negate the cap space of Frolik and Stone going back. bodeker, wideman, ryan and the retained salary on both of those guys is definetly fair value for hanifin. and finnaly Tkachuk and anderson for Karlsson (with some value from the rest of the trade) is more than fair. Tkachuk hasn't broken 50 points in his career karlsson is consistently above 60 points and is the best defenseman in the league. andersson is a prospect and from what we've seen so far at best a 3rd pairing defenseman on Calgary. we have other defensive prospects coming up so losing andersson is not that bad. You clearly don't have a clue about hockey if you think this isn't even close. it was well thought out you just clearly are not intelligent enough to see the reasoning.</div></div>

The Flames had to give up Dougie Hamilton+Fox+Ferland to acquire Hanifin+Lindholm. Trading Hanifin for Boedker Wideman and Bobby Ryan isn't even close to fair value. Boedker+Ryan are both salary dumps and Wideman isn't even close to value.

Try again.

Thread: 17-18 Calgary Flames+ Some PTO options
I get the Jagr signing bonus to an extent. The full 3M would be used on this years cap, or some could be differed to next year. I think the reasoning for bonuses would be incase Jagr has completely fallen of this year. If he has a great year, then Flames won't have any problem giving him the full bonuses, but at least if he under performs, it would save the Flames some actual dollars.

As per Stajan and Brouwer. My understanding is both have M-NTC. But neither have NO-MOVMENT clauses. Which means they can be demoted to the AHL. I understand neither move save much in cap space. I only say they could be demoted if they feel a youth player would be better served in the roles. Or if they feel perhaps a team will take them off their hands at the waiver discount.

Just some thoughts. I would ignore Hudler. He is one of those guys who completely fell off a cliff since being traded out of Calgary. Even before the trade he had a really rough season.
