Thread: Kucherov
All fair points. The flames can't afford Kucherov and Brouwer with Kuch at anything more than 6million. They need the rest of that space for bonus payouts so they don't get nailed on going over the cap. That's factoring in the 3.5 relief for Smid IF SMID misses all season. If he doesn't ther'es about 500k coushin there. Just hope that Smid takes most of the season to come back if he comes back at all.
I thought the Johnny contract was right in line with Tarasenko's. I would be fine bumping up the 2nd and 4th rd pciks to a 1rst and 2nd for Kucherov. Would do that deal all day but that would be my starting point with Yzerman.
@tradejong - I think your last point there about Johnny home and away probably has a lot more to do with last change and shitty bob hartley tactics.
He didnt know how to line match up to save his life.
First season he sheltered mony and johnny more on the road.
Put Johnny on a team with a coach like Vingualt and i dont think youd see a big difference in discrepancy home and away.

Thread: Most likely
Agree this is highly realistic for opening night. Though I doubt Vey makes the top line ever. He's a depth player at most.
I personally have Vey penciled in for starting in Stockton.

Minor nitpicky things that are largely inconsequential but for your info:
Wotherspoon had to be qualified at 105% of his 925k he made last season so he won't be signing for less than like 970k or w/e the math works out to Im too lazy to get the exact figure probably more like 966 but w/e. Pioint is the Flames can't offer Wotherspoon by CBA less than the 970k.
Tkachuk as all top 10 picks do will likely be offered the league max. 925k + bonuses for 3 years. Because he was signed at 6 I dont see him being offered less than mony or bennett. Anyhow just some minor things for you to be conscious of.

@Trdejong
All you ever do is rip everyone else without ever posting your own thoughts. If you're so smart as a armchair gm let's see your team put one together.
You're wrong about a few things.
Very likely that Tkachuk doens't make the team and gets sent back to junior. He's one of the younger players in this draft class. There's nothing wrong with that. He will get an audition though.
Furthermore, there's also huge question marks about his junior production. I dont' want to see the kid fail myself because he was our 6th rd pick and I want my team to be successful. However, reality check. here:
Tkachuk played with Marner and Dvorak last year and the year before he played with auston matthews... that's a huge red flag for his production.
Granted if they can transition him to right wing and play him wtih mony and johnny well again he's gonna benefit from those guys.


Poirier had a bad sophomore season. A lot of guys do. Doesn't mean he's instantly junk. He was asked to focus on his defensive game from the management down to Huska on top of a couple minor injuries not uncommon to see a drop off in production from those circumstances. Give him a season see what he does this yeasr before writing him off.

Hamilton and GIo didnt work as Hamilton was adjusting and Bob was a moron with a dumb system. Once he got the roll of things though Im sure they could play together again.

@hf: I don't really see Mony or Johnny only getting bridge deals. That's my biggest issue wiht your team here. Just dont' see it Johnny is proven he's a top scorer in this league. His ES pt/60 and primary points are indicative that this is just par for the course I sign him 7 or 8 years and give him what he want.
Mony - perhaps there's some questions there so you warrant giving him a bridge and see if he continues to produce. That being said 3 seasons no one from his draft class has scored more. Probably Gve him the money and just see if you can get his term down a bit. He's a legit 2C if not a 1c. needs hlp on his defensive side and shot suppression.

Thread: Flames CBJ trade
After Johnny who is really in the pipe on the left? no one... no one.

Bouma - Centre or Left
Shinkaruk - Centre can play the wing probably prefers the left but you can make him play the right im sure.
Ferland -lw or rw
Poirer is the only true LWer they have in the pipes right now and Im not even sure he's legit ready for the NHL he needs to prove that.

So yeah Hartnell fits in fine line up wise. The question is can the FLames free up Cap to do it. Personally I think they can.
Alot of this is dependent on Smid being on LTIR for 70% of the season or more.

PErsonally I'd rather move out Bouma and Use Hartnell on the third or foruth line.

JOhnny - Monny - JP
Raymond - Backlund - Frolik
Shinkaruk - Bennett - Pribyl (if he's ready and can adapt to the N).
Hartnell - Stajan - Ferland is a decent bottom line.
Let Bollig go down to Stockton.

You can alternate Raymond and Hartnell if you want or send Raymond to the minors and use someone else there. Doesn't matter really.

Thread: Big trade
Love me some Carey Price. He's a probably the best goalie in the league right now.
BUT we've seen how quickly a dominant Goalie can turn into nothing but an over priced contract.
Assuming you even get passed Bergevin's secretary hanging up the phone on you for mentioning the word price.
YOu're gonna give up 2 cornerstones, a useful all around player + a future corner stone for a star goalie and 33 y/o third liner?
When you have reimer available to the open market for what might amount to a difference of 30 goals per season between the two?
Think about it like this Frolik good for about 20 goals/season fairly consistently, Bennett protential for 30+ (right now though let's say 20), 6th OA down the road hard to say but let's say if he plays anywhere in your top 9 he's good for 15 (probably a chance for more), hamilton is good for 20GF (not even counting the goals against he prevents). So that's 75GF you just shipped out to save yourself 30GA in price say you get 15 From Plekanec (if lucky) you're still short 30Goals. from where you were before price. It's not worth it.
Id rather pay Reimer for free 4m x 4yrs and get make up that 30 goals in aggregate some other way.
