Thread: Nylander
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zeerak</b></div><div>**** no. This is horrible value. We give up a top end defensive prospect and one of our top 4 defensemen. The market is Taylor Hall, a point per game player, for Adam Larsson, a fringe 2nd pair dman. Brodie for Nylander is more than fair by that assessment, but adding Phillips and Fox is a huge no.</div></div>
Hey thank you man for agreeing, I don't want to get ridiculed by TOR fans, who think nylander will get them a top end D...

but hall for Larson, drouin for sergachev (unknown at the time) put me down for brodie for nylander as a deal to work around....

I still think due to age you'd have to add to brodie a bit to offset the age. I think brodie+Phillips/mang for nylander would be fair.... 22 v 28 is still a gap that needs to be bridged a bit in my opinion. The other 2 deals that have been referenced were almost the same age....

Once again happy to see someone who sees value of D vs a winger... I agree fox and brodie is too rich..... fox looks like the real deal, I DO NOT want to move him, unless he doesn't want to sign.....

Thread: Nylander
I would do this as a flames fan, I don't see TOR fans supporting this, but the value isn't far off at all. And I might get ridiculed for saying this but Fox and brodie might be fair.... brodie eats top pairing minutes, but makes his mistakes. Fox looks like he could be the real deal too, which would give tor an entire pairing.... No matter how you cut it Defence is more valuable than forwards

Nylander is highly talented and worth giving up assets to get. Brodie is controllable and on a team friendly deal. I could see this working, but again I'm going to get it from the TOR side.

Nylander for Hamilton is not fair value... as the other poster said RFAs with lots of skill don't fall from the sky, but there is more of them then 6'5 RH controllable top pairing D. I can think of Seth Jones and that's about it..... just my 2 cents

Thread: Realistic
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rbcf</b></div><div>Yeah I overpaid for Nash as I think he would be great 4th line center but might be better to wait for Dube. Hornquist makes me nervous too and probably won't happen as your right he might not have alot in the tank. I would rather somehow get Brady Tkachuk but that seems like a pipe dream.</div></div>
Brady would be wicked but he is an unknown quantity at this point in time, yes all signs point he should be a NHL player, but for the cost it's too risky. Having said that IF Matthew Tkachuk is the future captain of this team, I wouldn't rule out Brady coming here at some point or another.... still I think I'm dreaming there.....

I like Nash, but let's wait for Dube or give someone like Hrivik the chance to run with it a bit. I would like to see us pursue someone whose on an expiring RFA deal that's controllable and shoots right, for example Ryan Hartman.

Thread: Sharp/Sceviour
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JQuick32</b></div><div>If the Flames make the playoffs they will most likely play the Sharks or my Kings. Both teams have a ton of playoff experience. I think the Flames need to add some playoff experience and it was well known Sharp almost signed on July 1 with the Flames, I wonder if the interest still exists.

Given the choice between Sharp or Sceviour I take the latter as he is younger and produces more than Stajan. While Stajan is a good PK guy, a little more 4th line production will go a long way.

Regarding depth on the left side, the Flames still have Kylington who may not be as well developed as Wotherspoon, but has a higher upside. Also by playoff time Tri-City should be eliminated and Valimaki could in theory be called up.</div></div>
Totally agree with your point in the playoff experience, would be good to add that piece, but with our current roster we have seen the playoffs a bit, smith is a great guy addition with his role with Az going to conf finals, browuwer, frolik, versteeg all will be in come playoff time. I think Sceviour would be a good fit as we have discussed....

In regards to Valimaki, love the idea, but I don't think he is ready for that personally and might not be best for his development curve...Bennett/baertschi.... f Kylington has to play that's not a problem, but if we move on Tspoon, I just feel we could use a physical 7 guy in the event we lose stone/harmonic as well. Andersson and Kylington aren't bringing that element and as you said we have to deal with California, they all are big and heavy teams thus the need for an addition physical presence to break up the cycle... we all the know the playoffs is a big boy game...

Ideally you'd like to have a glut of solid D going into the playoffs for a big run cause you'll probably need them all.... Gio, Hamilton, brodie, harmonic, stone, Kulak, bartkowski, Andersson, Kylington,Prout... decent depth, but R shot heavy.... (assuming we part with wotherspoon).... Bart is scary in his own end I would avoid playing him as much as possible lol, he is a rim specialist

Thread: Nick Bjugstad Cost to the Flames
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JQuick32</b></div><div>I'd want Trochek from FLA but they'd be foolish to move him.

Bjugstad could be really good on that line and he's in the right age range, and he has some term left</div></div>

Trochek would be the absolute best possible fit this team could get with contract, age and so on other than Mark Stone, but there is no way we have the assets, but if he was available then I would be okay with moving on from Bennett in that deal.

I would really like Calgary to look at: Hartman, Ho-Sang, Armia, Fischer, Reinhart, Tuch, Virtanen type player that we can afford to add as a piece to this top 9 that is young and would fit the make up going forward.

From a rental stand point if Vegas and thats a big IF were to trade Perron, I wouldn't be opposed to making that deal as he would be a pretty good fit......

Thread: Nick Bjugstad Cost to the Flames
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JQuick32</b></div><div>They may consider it. I don't wanna trade Bennett either.

FLA has expressed their disappointment about losing Smith and Marchessault to Vegas. However it was their own doing as they wanted to protect 4 D. Anyways it makes me wonder if they will be a little reluctant to trade another winger.

I'd love to add Bjugstad though</div></div>

Bjugstad would be one of my main targets if FLA is looking to shed some money or perhaps part ways with that longer term contract, I believe from what I have seen and heard he is a bit of Joe Colborne softness in him, but maybe just maybe if he's being dragged into it by Bennett/Janko could be a real steal of a player that can play up and down this lineup, could even allow the team to potentially absorb a Backlund loss.
