We couldn't do it before expansion, I assume that is part of the reason why and when rumors of Dumba potentially being available sprung up last year, both sides were pretty against it (at least on reddit, I was away from HF at that point in time). But as big of a fan of Dumba as I am, it's not a great fit; if we lose Giordano in expansion, then we need a LD and not a RD, and if they take Kylington instead, that's an addition 6m committed to the blueline when we need to sign a couple top 6 forwards.Obligatory offer of Dumba. Did a search, and was shocked to see that he hadn't been offered yet.

Why would you be shocked? He's still a top pairing defenseman that they can flip at the deadline for far more than they'd get out of selecting someone like Kylington.I would be shocked if they took Giordano, but ya, the only
Reason to move Dumba is because MN is in a bind for the ED.
Any team that needs a 3rd line center.
That's horrid for the FlamesSean Monahan and prospect (c) Jakob Pelletier to Wpg
for center Adam Lowry, winger/center rfa Andrew Copp, signed 3 year minimum, under $5 mil per, rights to rd-Tucker Poolman ahead of FA.
The Jets would definitely prefer to keep Lowry who they just re-signed and Copp if he will re-sign.Sean Monahan and prospect (c) Jakob Pelletier to Wpg

If they are moving out Kuzy (to like Minnesota or something) then it would make sense. Monahan is close friends with Wilson and he would benefit from playing on the 2nd lineI would assume WSH is poking around.

Ha, ha, ha. Lowry is a better center, in the f/o, positioning, pk, defensive top-line opposition shut-down, just signed 5 yrs at 3.25 mil per and locally born.That's horrid for the Flames

The fact that you said Copp is better than Mangiapane or Backlund shows that you actually no nothing.Ha, ha, ha. Lowry is a better center, in the f/o, positioning, pk, defensive top-line opposition shut-down, just signed 5 yrs at 3.25 mil per and locally born.
Copp had a breakout offensive season, while still providing excellent defensive #'s. He is a better player than Mangiapane, Backlund, Dube, than a Bennett was, etc. He plays in the mold of Coach Sutter style and so does Lowry without the offense. Poolman could be the new decent 3rd pairing D with signing him, on the chesp. Flames already have his younger bro Colton signed.
Change Pelletier to: Mathias Emilio-Pettersen or Adam Ruzicka or Glenn Gawdin, then.
No? Maybe? Move on...
If Lowry and Copp are so much better... you keep them. No reason at all for you to trade down even though you'd like to do the Flames a favor and take Mony off our hands. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing you gave up so much to get so little to help out the Flames.Ha, ha, ha.

Will take great prosectI suspect he'll be traded after the Buffalo sweepstakes are over.... Or included in them
Eichel for Monahan, 1st, and a prospect?
Could see something like the Duchene trade, send Monahan to like Ottawa or something, Eichel to Calgary and a noat of picks prospects (mostly from Calgary) to BuffaloWill take great prosect
Buffalo gets more from a California team easyI suspect he'll be traded after the Buffalo sweepstakes are over.... Or included in them
Eichel for Monahan, 1st, and a prospect?
His hip surgery was successful, he will be fully healthy by training campIt's going to be a risk trade for whoever does it. He might have injury issues and he was never really known for his defensive or physical play.
Lowry has never hit 30 points. Derek Ryan is a better version of Lowry, and the Flames can sign him for free.Ha, ha, ha. Lowry is a better center, in the f/o, positioning, pk, defensive top-line opposition shut-down, just signed 5 yrs at 3.25 mil per and locally born.

Copp had a decent regular season, but fell apart in the playoffs. The last thing the Flames need.
You keep your players.
