Thread: What should we do next
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I think that your assessment is completely accurate: Calgary has gotten significantly better in goal, slightly worse in defense, and stayed the same on offense. (I.e., adding Tanev but losing Brodie and Hamonic is a lesser minus than adding Markstrom is a plus.)

Keep in mind that any acquisitions or changes have to take into account two "off-ice" considerations: the expansion draft and cap situations. Two of the teams you're targeting (Las Vegas and Toronto) are close to the cap ceiling, so it will be challenging to make value trades with them. And you're already maxxed out on forwards for the expansion draft, so picking up another top RW is going to mean exposing another of Bennett/Dube/Mangiapane. All in all, I think that if Treliving is able to create an acceptable deal for such a player, it will not only be quite an accomplishment but also post-season-award qualification.</div></div>

I'm taking in these trade accounts for next year's offseason. This way we can avoid the kraken. I totally agree with u. If treliving can pull it off without losing huge key pieces, he might just be top ten GM's of the league.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>Gaudreau and Tkachuk expiring at the same time for 6.75mil and 7 will be tricky, because even in down years like Gaudreau this year, they wont get a salary reduction...

PHI would probably do something like TK and a real solid prospect like LD Egor Zamula and a bit more for Tkachuk, who Flyer fans would love, but not for Gaudreau.

Monahan could get a nice price, but certainly not like for like, and probably not of value enough to make it a necessity, but (going with PHI again), something like Nolan Patrick, Gotisbehere and a good prospect kind of thing. Or Monahan and a 2nd for Patrik Laine at deadline?</div></div>

I don't see huge moves for Calgary at the deadline, its just too close to the expansion. But what do u think about Gaudreau and Thackuck extensions for contracts or will they be gone?
