Thread: Johnny Hockey brings a cup to Philly
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GirouxCrew</b></div><div>It can’t be looked at like a 1 for 1 with “a couple picks thrown in”. The whole point of JVR is just to make the money and current rosters work. That’s it. The real value is the top prospect and the high draft picks.
And you make it sound like JVR is making millions more for several more years. It’s 250k and 1 more year. And there’s also no guarantee that Gaudreau is going to resign in a couple years. I suppose you could just wait until it gets closer but still...</div></div>

Sorry I didnt mean to make it sound 1 for 1. However, I do think JVR's contract is miles worse than Gaudreau's. Compare a contract that involves taking a decent top 20 LW to their age 34 season to a contract that is slightly cheaper, and controls a 25 year old legit superstar to their age 28 season. So no, the money and term are not equivalent at all.

Also yeah the picks and prospects are great, but uncertain. They have value but to trade Johnny this season, a team is going to need legit NHLers back. A first next year wont be NHL ready until like 2021 at the earliest.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GirouxCrew</b></div><div>The money is almost even and it’s only one more year than JG. That pretty much needs to happen to make sense for both teams. Financially it works and doesn’t create holes on the rosters as it’s a LW for a LW. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to have to add another prospect other than frost. Just not Farabee or Ratcliffe.
They’d already be getting a LW capable of scoring 30+, a top tier fwd prospect and two first rounders one guaranteed to be high. I personally don’t think the value is too far off</div></div>

Thing is JVR is 30, Johnny is 25. JVR might even decline in 2 or 3 seasons, Johnny is entering his prime. Fact is JVR has a more expensive contract, for a longer term, at an older age, while being significantly less valuable to a team. The prospects and picks are nice but not deal makers. Maybe in like 3 years there'll be a trade, but literally makes no sense for Calgary unless they absolutely steal the trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>Nice ideas, but not sure on the NSH one. They need cap space and lose it with this deal, Weber is one of the few dmen they have making little money.

And without moving Subban or Ellis, I cant see them getting UFA to be Brodie, although Jankowski would be a good fit there.

I can see Bennett and Tkachuk getting a lot more than what you have them going for. Bennett will be offer sheeted in a second for 2.4mil, IMO.

At least one of Frolik, Stone, Brodie, Hamonic, Backlund, Bennett, Ryan, Neal need to go, with little $$$ in salary coming back. And probably two of those guys.

IMO, you call Philly and offer Brodie and Bennett for Hagg or Morin AND Lindblom or Strome or Radcliffe AND a 2nd, that saves at least 5mil. Then you deal Frolik for a cheaper replacement. Cap issues solved.</div></div>

Frolik and Brodie will be traded for sure, and Stone likely to get bought out. That resolves all "cap issues" I think. The Flames need to make improvements in the roster, and Im not sure that Philly trade would make the actual roster better, unless Ratcliffe can play top 6 minutes right away
