Thread: Shot down in Flames pt2
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xspyrit</b></div><div>Yeah, trading Brannstrom for a young-ish forward is the way to go but only after the current season as Brannstrom is needed right now. Dube could provide good offense but I'd like somebody who is better defensively

Basically, I'd like to trade Brann for a younger Joseph type

Also, if you get him, play him on the 2nd pair with Weegar and watch him flourish. Harris is decent but Brannstrom is better and has more upside</div></div>

Yes. That deal would be an offseason move..... both being RFAs, see it as a hockey deal.

Fair feedback on wanting a better defensive forward, but I wonder if Pinto and Joseph mask that shortcoming...... at least that was my thought process.

And could see him playing with Weegar...... just as that point, I think Harris maybe more polished. Brännström has been a project, but one that is really rounding put well.

Good feedback!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan98</b></div><div>Ghostisbere was good for AZ 31 pts in 58 games good at age 29... And he went for a 3rd...

Most players (including Savard) went for double retention and others had term and RFA control (Sandin should come to mind)... Z doesn't have either...

I wouldn't be completely surprised if Z went for a 1st... But I think the Flames should guarantee it by having him and Tanev packaged up at 50% or have a 3rd team retain 50% on 1 of the players)</div></div>

Ghost is a defensive nightmare..... but can run a PP....
I seriously upgraded version of Klingberg. Why he only got a 3rd.

2. My therapist told me to box and block the Sandin deal. (Dubas got ripped there imo.... more than a 1st there should have been had).

4. The double retention in Savard was an additional 4th over the 1st and 3rd the Jackets recieved..... which was an option I looked at, but the Leafs simply lack the assets to pull that off.

3. Packaging Zadarov and Tanev could very well happen. But I also believe the Flames get more in separate moves.

When it comes to Zadarov, right now, the Canucks, Devils (see Tanev), and Kings (yes Kings) I see being in on him..... which if it comes to a bidding war, drives the price..... where pundits are suggesting he gets a 1st.

Time will tell....

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan98</b></div><div>At 50% retention...

And I could name more recent acquisitions that went for less: Schenn, Bogosian, Lyubushkin, Petry, Edmunson (50% retention), Durzi, Klingberg, Ghost just to name a few... And a bunch of these got 50% retention or had RFA control after the season...</div></div>

And the Jackets recieved an additional 3rd for the retention; which if you read what I had to say, I wasn't bothering with as this is a Flames thread.

Out of your list of compatibles, only Schenn holds an argument..... who at 33 years of age when the Leafs made the move, was likely to get less. Why I don't see Tanev getting a 1st like most Flames fans would want. At full value.... he is a 3rd unfortunately. At 28, and having extension possibilities, as Savard to Tampa did, the tag is what it is going to be.

The rest of that list were simply cap dumps or don't measure up to Zadarov's play, or in Petey's case going to Detroit, doing right by the player.

Thread: maybe
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>I don't see why TO would do this. Peeke isn't very good. And there is no need for Roslovic. I would be happy to see Klingberg go but I doubt Treliving will pay to move him for much, that would be way too much egg on the face for him to do. For better or worse they have Klingberg or move him as a cap maneuver as part of a bigger trade.</div></div>

Peeke is solid, but probably not a top 4 D at this time. Still on the younger side. Hard to say he is no good when the team last year was terrible. People on CF say the same thing about Connor Murphy, yet, I say he is one of the top 10 stay at home D in the league. Bad teams don't do decent players justice.

Roslovic I see the point. But, I counter that with saying this simply put ls Reaves in the press box, and either Roslovic or Jarnkrok tale that 4th line roll - which in turn significantly improves not only the defensive play of that line, but it would actually be a bit of an offensive threat as well.

I say this deal would have to be considered.
