Isn't Double Dion the same guy who used to tell us Stastny was a 3C?

:laugh:

Now Mackinnon is a worse player than Monahan who's bad defensively and only scores goals?


Yup sounds accurate...

Nothing wrong with saying monahan>mackinnon. Monahan has outproduced the whole draft class and the year before.

I love HF. Contract term > talent

craziness that we deal with daily.. the term "team control" has brainwashed everyone, also everyone likes to act like 2 years of Duchene is a "rental" .... dont blame avs for denying this but the contract issues shouldnt be the decider in this one

I'm pretty sure that if I started a Doughty (2yrs left) vs EJ (6yrs left) poll, EJ would actually get votes purely due to "team control" :laugh::laugh::laugh:

PS I love the phrase 2-year-rental, it's one of the most hilarious pieces of utter non-sense you'll read outside the world of politics.

You need to open your eyes a little, the only reason Monahan wasn't sent back to junior as an 18 year old was his hockey iq for playing a 200 ft game. Burke was on record as saying he made it impossible to send down because he was the teams second best defensive centre.

Monahan's game is grossly underrated because he's not flashy but make no mistake he's very good on both sides of the puck.

MacKinnon's two-way game is grossly underrated because he's flashy; but make no mistake, he's very good on both sides of the puck.

I don't think anyone would say that Monahan has better raw tools than MacKinnon. He's faster, has better puck handling skills, all around better skater. Monahan has translated his game better as it has always been a simpler game.

I do love MacKinnon though. And having watched him play with Johnny.... I would give up a lot to have him.

I like Duchene, and I think he'd fit well. I don't think he'd be worth the cost to acquire though, especially with how Sakic has valued him.

I just don't think Duchene is worth these pieces. I also don't think centre needs to be addressed. I get that Duchene can play wing, but we need a right handed shot.

Hell, I'll take a righty centre (please no mackinnon) but not at the cost of our best young guys. Rather find a deadline rental or a prospect we can develop at this point. I just want to see what the flames prospects can do this season, now.

Aside from their rookie years Monahan produces more. He's better defensively and literally a light year ahead of MacKinnon in the face off dot.

Calgary doesn't want Comeau. He adds nothing to this deal.

it helps even up the salary now while giving Calgary the benefit of being done with that salary after this season instead of having Brouwer's contract continue. Without Comeau in this proposal there's no Brouwer.

At least I assume that's why the poster included him in the proposal.

This.

Also I vocally hate Comeau but his value is still somehow more than Brouwer's at this point.

No interest in Duchene from a Calgary POV. Another 2 years at 6M for a 50-60 point player before he commands 8M+ on the open market on a longterm deal. No thanks to any of that.

Flames will keep their cost controlled assets as they try to build a cup contender with what they have already.

If this happens...

Bennett has been in alot of proposals. I'd think alot of flames fans are down on him. So while he does have talent has he show. It on Duchene level? Or even trending in that direction

No, Most sane Flames fans do not want to trade Bennett.

It's more of other fans want to steal Bennett when he is down
