Proposal: Big trade between Calgary-St. Louis

[Bjornar Moxnes]

2019 1st, conditional 2020 1st (If Schenn re-signs and we make the playoffs in next season, otherwise becomes 2020 2nd), Oliver Kylington, Sam Bennett, Mike Smith, and Michael Frolik for Brayden Schenn, Jake Allen, and Dominik Bokk.

Calgary reasoning:
We could really use another dynamic 2C, which gives us excellent center depth. Jake Allen as much as he's struggled, I believe he'd do better in a more high paced system like Peters, and he's a better option than Smith currently and going forward. He and Rittich gives the Flames a 1A/1B situation. Dominik Bokk I'm still high on and I think he has the potential to be our 2nd line RWer in the future very soon.

St. Louis reasoning:
I think St. Louis just needs a solid retool. Well Bokk is a great prospect, they have Thomas and Kyrou in their system, Bennett plays a fast and gritty game for them. Kylington gives them more depth for their LHD. Smith is just a backup for this season. Michael Frolik's contract ends next season and he's still an excellent defensive winger.

Nah. Keep Bokk and hold onto Schenn until it's clear he doesn't want to extend and then just move him on his own.

Interesting proposal! You have me thinking.

 

[Freudian]

Seems very convoluted to include Bokk.

Just have it be Schenn for stuff and it's easier to make it reasonable.

I like the idea of the 1st and conditional 1st and ditching Allen. I don't mind Bennet either.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

No reason to include Bokk.

 

[Potty John]

I’d be ok with this trade, but I love Bennett and am not ok with trading him.

 

[simon IC]

I like this better than the Heinen, Grzelcyk +2nd Boston offer.

Bennett is a bust an we are trading away our 1st from last season.

Bennett isn’t a bust. He’s already a good 3rd liner and I think he’s got 2nd potential.

He's most definitely a bust.

What if we take Bennet, Kylington and Bokk out?

• Schenn, Allen for ...
• Smith, Frolik, 2019 1st, conditional 2020 1st.

 

[Iggys Dome]

I'd definitely do something like this for Schenn/Allen, but I'd wait till the draft. The team is looking pretty good right now and I wouldn't want to rock the boat with a big deal like this. Would be tough to swallow doing this deal though. I'd be perfectly okay with holding onto our picks and Kylington/Bennett.

I'd do this for sure. Get Tre on the phone

 

[FameFlame069]

Pretty fair offer, got me thinking...

 

[Deen]

Take Neal instead of Frolik. Then maybe.

 

[SaintMorose]

That would be hard to turn down.

I like that better for the Flames. Don’t care to lose Bennett or Kylington.

 

[JPeeper]

Lose another 2 first rounders? Even if the value is fair, Schenn is 27. If the Flames are trading 2 firsts, it should be for players 22 and under to go with our current core (Johnny at 25 being the "old guy") and closer to Tkachuk's age.

The Flames also shouldn't be trading Kylington and Bennett as well.

 

[CraigsList]

Nope, can’t keep trading futures like that and expect to be competitive in 5 years.

I know Schenn helps right now, but surely we can find someone cheaper.

 

[PerryTurnbullfan]

I say drop the firsts and put Kylington in the deal.

 

[Maukkis]

Even though the value seems fine, I think the Blues should pass. Dealing Bokk makes no sense in a re-tool, and Frolik/Bennett seem redundant for them.

 

[Tkachuky]

He's most definitely a bust.

300+ games in the NhL is not a bust. So tired of reading moronic comments.

Daigle is considered a bust with over 600 games, don't be so sensitive. At least he's not as bad as Yakupov.

I’m not sensitive. You just have no idea what you’re talking about. Ask most Flames fans that actually watch the games unlike you.

Anyways, enjoy your bust of a team and the rebuild.
