Thread: TOFFOLI TRADED
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pensfan303</b></div><div>Wow, that seems low for Toffoli haha</div></div>

Toffoli + Sutter = Career Year
Toffoli - Sutter = 40-49 point player only finishing over 50 points twice in 10 years over 3 teams

I still love him either way
But if im giving up a 35-45 point roster player to get him
Im not giving up much in the way of picks
Its futures quality, roster quality or a mix of both
CGY chose option C

I said this before CGY fans got worked up
Firing Sutter to early got everyone thinking about Toffoli without Sutter
You trade Toffoli first and most people arent scrambling to find ways in which Sutter had a positive impact.
They dont see that unless they spent the last few months focused on it

Waiting to Trade Tofolli did more damage then good

Thread: The Time To Win Now
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Newtown</b></div><div>You think a guy who has 1 year left and will not resign is worth more than a 24 year-old RHD making 1.4 million that is already a top 4 defender? Please name the better young player that Calgary will aquire. Of course they could get some picks…a first and maybe a 3rd but how is that going to help a team that needs NHL players right now?</div></div>

They won’t need NHL players right now if the are forced into a rebuild. If u are adding a pick on the flames side you are saying that Liljegren is currently better than Hanifin, will Liljegren be better than Hanifin someday? Maybe but not right now. Let’s say Calgary loses Hanifin but doesn’t have to go into a rebuild, they should just trade for picks because they would still have more than enough guys pushing for top 4 spots. Would Liljegren be nice to have? Sure but they aren’t paying for him.

Thread: DOWN TO THE STUDS
<a href="/users/jcambers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@jcambers</a>, you said down to the studs but three quarters of the trades are bringing in young(ish) but more or less established talent instead of picks and prospects. The worst is the PHI proposal because you're trading for a 25 yo with 2-years left and giving a team that is actually trying to bring everything down to the studs (like Chicago) a 26 yo rental D. The close second would be the Dubois trade since it is pretty safe to assume that he has no interest in signing with Calgary.

What you proposed here is a decent idea of a retool in terms of personnel (other than Dubois), maybe give it another shot but while taking into consideration the contract situation of players and the teams' situation.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jacketsman61</b></div><div>Typical Canadian hockey fans. They always are unrealistic when it comes to trade values of their players.</div></div>

Most diehard fans are delusional, and that Canadian teams typically have more diehard NHL hockey fans. Also, most fans are also not GM-material and a lot lack the ability to make comparisons between past trades and mock trades.
