Apparently several teams have interest in Kevin Hayes, I wonder if we are one of them.
Curious why you think Klimchuk has had constant regression? Had a scoring jump his second year in the A, and put up the same ppg this year while being better off the puck in my opinion. I think there's still a good chance of finding a third line scoring wing there.
Him as our 3rd line centre would make a lot of sense. Would distribute the scoring a bit down the line; he's good on both ends of the ice too. He gets murdered on matchups in NY; he'd be given the Janko type assignment in Calgary... He'd get a lot of easy minutes that he could chew down on.
I'm not sure what it'd take though. The guy's a huge centre, 25 goal scorer with a positive goal differential on a miserable team.
That's what I would tell people too if I was in prison
I'm not sure which is worse.
He didn't say that, he was saying Shinkaruk and Poirier have
? I was in Mexico for a church service.
Probably one of Andersson/Fox/Valimaki

Where did I say Klimchuk had constant regression ? I said shinkaruk and Poirier did . I said Klimchuk will probably get another year over Poirier and shinkaruk because he hasn't regressed.
Didn't see it quoted . No problem m8.I literally just addressed that I misread 4 posts ago
I'd be fine with sending any of those guys for Hayes. Maybe a small add on Calgary's side but not much.Probably one of Andersson/Fox/Valimaki
I wouldn’t be displeased with Hayes, but I don’t know I if I give up anyone of Andersson/Valimaki/Fox for him. I’d let go of Kylington as part of a package, but not the other three. Andersson and Valimaki are guaranteed top 4 guys and the ceiling on Fox is just too high to let go of in a deal for a Hayes quality player IMO.
Two small moves, that I think would make this team much better
Kylington + Rittich for Ho Sang
Stone for Leivo
Gaudreau-Monahan-Bennett
Tkachuk-Backlund-Foo
Leivo-Jankowski-Ho Sang
Ferland-Shore-Frolik
Lazar/Brouwer
Gio-Hamilton
Brodie-Andersson
Valimaki-Hamonic
Kulak
Smith
Gillies
Agreed. I’m not saying I would do that. Just feel it would probably be the ask.
Honestly Valimaki is right up there with Gaudreau, Monahan and Tkachuk as untouchables IMO. We need his LHS going forward. Even if he is comparable to Fox/Andersson
I don’t have anything against Ferland. I just recognize him for what he is, a hard hitting, good skater, with a good shot, who has limited hockey IQ and abilities. He worked on the top line because he played with truly elite players but was clearly a passenger, that contributed very little in term of creating any sort of offense. I don’t think he’s a top 6 player away from Johnny and Monahan.What do you have against Ferland?
Everyone is down on him but he doesn’t need PP time to contribute goals. There is value in that... 5 on 5 he helps this team. He leads our team in hits every years and yet people mock him for not being physical.
4th line behind a bunch of guys that have proven zero at the NHL level?
