Proposal: PHI-Calgary shake up

[CanadianHawks]

Gaudreau and Bennett for Giroux and Patrick

Both teams have enigmatic cores, seemingly alternating between red hot stretches and non playoff years. With the rumour that Gaudreau may want to go to Philly as a UFA, and both teams struggling. The cap is nearly even. PHI gives up the youngest and oldest player. Calgary adds two RH shots, one a C and another who can play C if needed.

Essentially play making core winger for play making core winger. Under achieving C for another oft injured young C.

It's unlikely such a deal would be made but I think it could benefit both teams and some players involved.

As an outsider this deal looks fair, but I wonder if it's too lateral that it doesn't address either team's needs (besides giving each guy a fresh start).

 

[Cloned]

I'd say Gaudreau and Andersson for Giroux and Ghost

I'd say Gaudreau and Andersson for Giroux and Ghost

Yikes, the first deal was already not great for Calgary, this is even worse. I like Giroux and he's still a solid player but he's definitely passed his prime, Gaudreau is still in his prime. Giroux's not waiving anyway.
After that Andersson >>> Ghost

Hahahah. Why do the Flames do this? Patrick has no value and him in Calgary with his migraine problems won’t be good. Trust me I am a migraine sufferer and I have too many bad days with the weather changes.

And Bennet is totally lighting it up.....

I'm sorry that weather changes affect your migraines.

But as a migraine sufferer, you should also know that what causes migraines isn't thr same in every person. It's entirely feasible - and likely, at that - that weather isn't a trigger to his migraines at all. It has absolutely zero effect on mine.

Regarding the actual trade - not a chance. Giroux shouldn't be going anywhere. It may not reflect it on the scoresheet, but he's easily been the flyers best player this year, despite reduced usage from our dipshit coach.

 

[Dooble08]

Giroux probably won't waive to go to Calgary.

 

[blankall]

Awful for Calgary. Giroux is 33.

 

[blankall]

I'd say Gaudreau and Andersson for Giroux and Ghost

Lol. You do realize that Andersson is likely the most valuable piece in that deal. Why is Calgary adding more?

 

[turnagainoutlaw]

Take out Giroux and put in Koneckny

 

[Bond]

Not sure if it helps the Flyers much but definitely doesn't help the Flames, at best it is a lateral move that makes them older. Patrick is interesting but his value is headed toward Bennett territory lol

 

[Flames Fanatic]

I'd say Gaudreau and Andersson for Giroux and Ghost

Nope. No thanks. We're quite high on Andersson.

Also quite against moving a 27 year old for a 33 year old. That's just me.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Monahan for Giroux.

 

[Kuznetsnow]

Giroux for Giordano

I mean Patrick has played all 31 games. Has the weather not changed at all this season? Pretty sure its been a wild year weather wise (and in lots of other ways) so it seems he has the condition completely under control.

Will his hockey get better ? We dont know. Hes not remotely lived up to #2 OA but he was off entire season last year.

Bennet would slot in the same part of lineup here 3/4C and Laughton already fills that reasonably well.

Changing Giroux for Gaudreau (whose more likely to leave and not resign but is also younger) is kind of a wash asset management wise.

I'd pass on deal personally but wouldn't be upset if others supported it

 

[blankall]

Giroux for Giordano

This is a deal that makes sense for Calgary.

Monahan for Giroux.

Calgary getting older does not make sense.

Just want to touch on this; the Philly weather is starkly different than the Calgary weather that contirbutes to migraines. In Calgary, thanks to the mountains, there is a lot of intense weather changes as well as bursts of hot air called chinooks that, for a lot of people with migraines, are a root cause behind them picking up for no apparent reason in Calgary.

This isn't to say Patrick is 100% going to be, or won't be affected be migraines more in Calgary, but just that there are factors in Calgary (and really, in Alberta as a whole) that impact migraines more than elsewhere afaik

Take Bennett and Patrick out of this and focus on the two players that remain.

 

[SnipeNCelly]

Gio and Gaudreau for Konecny and Giroux is nice for both sides but chances are gio retires at the end of this year so Gaudreau for Konecny is realistic..both need a change of scenery

 

[Bond]

If I am the Flames I don't touch Giroux for Gaudreau. What is the point of getting significantly older, if Giroux can't push Philly over the top, he isn't doing it in Calgary.

 

[MakeCgyGreatAgain]

And Bennet is totally lighting it up.....

What’s your point. I’m saying Patrick is not valuable. I didn’t say a thing about Bennett. I don’t want Patrick anywhere near this team. Also I’d rather have Bennett on my team than Patrick.

You guys don’t understand chinooks. If he suffers from migraines this city will eat him alive.

 

[BritainStix]

Hey guys. I also suffer from a condition that affects everyone in a unique way, lemme tell you how you are wrong and how much of an expert I am.

I mean sure he could be fine and not affected but it isn't like they are making it up.
Here's why this major Canadian city can be a tricky place for migraine sufferers
