Thread: Calgary Deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>westcoastleaf</b></div><div>i don't entirely disagree with that, but i just think there's some more playoff-desperate / gm on the hot seat / can't generate offense teams out there that would give more for a top-5 in the league scorer.</div></div>

The overall scoring in the north was higher than normal since a lot of the teams had subpar d-cores. McDavid putting up Gretzky numbers is pretty evident of that. I think in a regular 82 games season vs all 31 teams that overall scoring goes down from those 4 north division players. This is not a knock on Marner, he's a hell of a player but Lindholm pretty much does everything Marner does already barring about 10-15 points (yes Marner was 20 points ahead of him this year but Flames didnt show up for half the season). Calgary also has Gaudreau who should normally make up for that points difference, this was considered a bad year for him and he still paced 70+ points. Maybe another team would have interest but not the Flames. If Calgary is going after any superstar this offseason its Eichel only
