<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sk540</b></div><div>I know that Torts really likes TK and I would be shocked he was moved. But hypotheticals are always fun.

So the base is TK and Hanifin. What are the views on Calgary of Sanheim or Provorov? I'm getting at a blockbuster here to also include Lindholm. Would it start at TK, one of the dmen, and a prospect? Draft picks? Another top 6 forward? is it even plausible? Is Farabee of interest? Atkinson? Frost?

This is fun.</div></div>

Haha... Agreed! Always fun to play GM.

If Calgary was moving Hanifin, its because he is going to want a raise after next season and the Flames have too much tied up in other players - Weegar is basically taking Hanifin's $$. In moving him, the thinking would be that Kylington can come back next year and regain his form, but that's no guarantee. So though there could be a hole to fill in the top 4, the contracts of Sanheim and Provorov would be hard to fit in. With some retention on Provorov, maybe, but only if it meant getting the Top 6 forward we covet.

Adding Lindholm brings in a WHOLE new dimension. He is Calgary's key trade chip - if they decide to trade him. Calgary would need a #1 centre to replace him. Maybe that come come from elsewhere, but hard to include him in a trade without knowing for sure there is a replacement.

If Lindholm was a target - I suspect the starting ask would be something like Konecny, Forester, Frost, Pick. Lindholm is on a great contract for next year.

Frost intrigues me, but I wonder what it would look like as part of a Hanifin trade. Anyone else on the Flames that interest you? Mangipane, Toffoli, Vladar, Dube, Kadri, Ruzicka...

Hanifin ++
Konecny, Frost, Provorov (included if needing to make salary work)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>I think CGY would be idiots for even thinking of trading Gaudreau. Not because Hall isn't as good or better or whatever. But because getting a 100 pt player at 6.8M is as good as winning the lottery. Even if Hall is "better", he's older, he'll cost more to keep and he's injured juts as often if not more than JG. Gaudreau for Hall is a lateral move AT BEST regardless of whose a better player.

Hey CGY, maybe you should look into finally getting a top flight 1A goalie and throw in some better depth in the lineup before deciding to trade one of their best assets.

Gaudreau had a bad playoff. So did Kucherov. TB ain't looking to trade him are they?</div></div>

Great points <a href="/users/F50marco" target="_blank">@F50marco</a> and to be honest, I completely agree. I would rather have Gaudreau as well, and his contract is just icing. I don't even think Gaudreau had that bad of a playoffs, he got chances. It was the rest of the team that didn't do much and Gaudreau carried a lot of the weight. I was just playing around with scenarios based on the rumor Calgary is considering an offer around the two. If it did happen I suspect there would be more to the story (A requested trade).

My first wish was for Lehner this offseason and seeing how that played out I'm a little surprised it. He's a FA next year and Calgary will have a better idea of what Rittich is and Talbot as well. If neither take a step, then maybe we swing for Lehner next year in FA.
