You’re right Drai is garbage without McDavid... not sure why you are bringing the Oilers into this though? Are you that insecure in your intelligence that you can’t support your statement with anything indicating there is a basis for your assumption.
IMO, don’t bother... it’s not worth it and it will only result in a pissing match. There is zero reason to to defend that comment about Drai at this point.
Treliving and the Flames have made their choice - Sutter over Gaudreau/Monahan.
I would like to see them at least try Tkachuk-Monahan-Mangiapane for a few games... nothing to lose right. Mony in the high slot with Chucky in the crease and Mang chasing the puck around the corners could work, while Monys skating is questionable he can shoot, especially with some traffic. See how Lindy does centering
Loool if you think that team is than our current bottom-5 roster idk what to tell you... ya man shipping out Monahan and Rasmus and Backlund for Dumba Rakell picks and prospects and cap space for a legit top-6 C definitely makes us a worse team. It’s like a skill hey. You honestly continue to amaze me by talking frequent sh*t about this core on the flames board and then still not being able to overcome ur bias about our players value and stick with what doesn’t work. You’re literally Brad lol
lollll. fitting for our dumpster fire team. I'd love to hear your suggestions for what we should be doing if not trading for picks, a top-line RW, a top-pair D and/or cap space lol. Lemme guess Monahan+ for Eichel or stay the course?
Honestly I think we are way closer in our valuations tho if you think the Monahan trade is fine. The Mantha/Rakell deal was more of targeting an area of need but if you're low on those guys in terms of being core guys thats super fair and not my first choice, I just think both guys have long-term RW1 upside whereas Rasmus tops out as a good RD2. Monahan for futures isn't lateral tho so we both agree to sell what we can. I also don't think we should sell everyone I really don't but I'm not opposed to trading our overvalued C's and replacing them. I think that's a better strategy then just sticking with it when we suck and could at least add a 1st+prospect or 2. Also not saying they have to be deadline moves but summer for sure gotta make some moves. As for adding Danault, he's a polarizing player who some people don't think moves the needle and others (like Nathan Mackinnon) view him as one of the hardest C's to play against in the whole league. I'm definitely on Nathan's side for this one lolol. Like Backlund 4 years ago and a UFA who we can sign to a similar deal while shipping out one of the existing C's for a 1st+. Not sure how that's lateral when we're actually getting younger and adding 1st+
You're literally the fan of a team not named the Calgary Flames.
Acquiring a rental top 6 RW after selling the rest of the top 6 is a complete waste of assets. As stated above, all you are dping is shuffling deck chairs
I still dont think we should rebuild. Like you pointed out from previous posts I've made, we just invested 10.5M into 2 30+ players. But you also didnt retool here either.
