Thread: BIG trade with Dallas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yycofred</b></div><div>Well that's not true either... it's been said over and over again that he didn't think another team was able to acquire him so he vetoed the trade strictly to stay in Toronto. He said that even the year of the deal

How does it make Dallas better though? Giving up your top offensive player for two middle six guys an AHL defenseman and a prospect that projects middle 6 coming off a bad camp doesn't help them really.. Your proposal is essentially a 23 year old Huberdeau for Mason Marchment, Denis Gurianov, Ben Gleasson, Mavrik Bourque and a 1st. You taking that?

I can be a Flames fan and still have a semblance of common sense when it come to valuations of Flames players.</div></div>
Pelletier is a Top Prospect who will be NHL next season if he isn't already. Dube still has a high ceiling and room to improve even more yet; he'll prove to be a solid Top-6 guy this year. Coleman is amazingly solid defensively and on the PK and can put up 20+ Goals and contribute offensively as a Top-6 Forward too. Valimaki would fit in nicely with the Finnish D-Contingency DAL has. They'd get 4 Roster Players for the price of 1 and although none are as good as Robertson, 3 are &amp; will be very good NHL Hockey Players

Teams Win Hockey Games, not individuals, so DAL would get a Better Balanced Team is how they'd improve imo

Thread: BIG trade with Dallas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yycofred</b></div><div>Essentially putting Lindholm, Hanifin, Tanev, Zadorov on the open market the following season with no depth in the system because this move guts the picks and high end prospects.</div></div>
Nope, Lindholm definitely gets re-signed, but yes, it could come at the cost of one of Tanev, Hanifin or Zadorov. We already have replacement depth in Meloche, Mackey, Kuznetsov, Poirier and if/when we move Tanev, Hanifin &amp;/or Zadorov it’ll be for Picks &amp; Prospects to replenish the depth for the future

Tanev being the last guy I want to Trade but he will be 33 in December here and has a history of injuries, so we can’t really expect him to play like has for us forever. Might have to take our gains and sell him while he still has value in the off-season.

Thread: Calgary Flames new look. Younger and faster!
To be honest, "new look" is a touch misleading, given how little you actually did. That's a good thing, though! The Flames need continuity, not big changes. I love the decision to keep the 3M line together. Most Flames lineups I've seen on CF break them up and I don't get why. Backlund and Frolik aren't exactly big names, but that line's prowess in all 3 zones should not be underestimated. All 3 have 20-goal upside too.
Just a couple quibbles:
1. Grabner's running you at least 4 million, probably 5. He'll probably request a touch more term, too (Matt Cane has him projected at 4 years, which is a bad idea, but some GM'll probably do it)
2. Lindholm probably doesn't take 6 years at that money, more like 3.
3. Probably want to upgrade at backup. That hole killed CGY last year, and Smith could well get hurt again.
These are minor issues, the core idea of this team is great. Well done!

Thread: Trade Dougie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ItWasIn</b></div><div>Nylander or Marner have to come back if Dougie is being traded</div></div>

Totally agree with you, but its gotta be Nylander++ coming back in my opinion. Not sure if you agree, but I would be disappointed if it wasn't a 1st+Nylander+D replacement

Edit: Also I don't support moving a top pairing D who is under 25, as Gio is 34 and sooner or later Dougie will be our best Defenseman. You dont move these type of players unless they ask, or we have a guy like Adam Fox come in and takes ice away from Dougie then I could see us moving one or the other. Otherwise don't move a young 50pts Defenceman, who is just STARTING to become better and better in his own end. You can see Dougie separating players from pucks and breaking up cycles, he is the real deal.
