Value of: Calgary- Sens (Duchene to Flames)

[GoGoSens]

What would the flames be willing to give up for Duchene?

He would instantly be the flames #1 Center and is an upgrade on what they have.

Dont know if he would be our first center, but would love to have him or Stone.

I would give up a ton, but if you guys took Neal at 1m retained per season i would give you guys a megaton.

Like 2 1sts, and dube or Mangiapane.

 

[GoGoSens]

I think that is a fair offer but I don't see the sens taking on Salary

 

[Tkachuky]

People assume any center would work with Gaudreau and would be an upgrade on Monahan?

Continue to underrate Monahan HF.

 

[GoGoSens]

Duchene is clearly better than Mohanan and a very big upgrade

 

[QcFlames12]

I think that is a fair offer but I don't see the sens taking on Salary

So you wouldnt do,
Duchene for 2019 1st, 2020 1st, Dube and Neal at 4.5?

This would be all only possible if we had a deal in place with Duchene upon arriving.

 

[GoGoSens]

No I am just saying I can't see the Sens taking on a long contract like Neal has.

 

[GoGoSens]

Would I do it? Yes I like it.

How many years is Neal signed for?

 

[QcFlames12]

Not sure about that, they are closer than you think.

Monahan is underated quite a bit.

 

[QcFlames12]

4 more after this season

 

[GoGoSens]

I'm not sure where the sens stand on taking on Salary, Melnyk is just a weird owner to me.

 

[crazyhawk]

The Sens are going to need some salary to hit the floor are they not?
If they keep Stone and pay him 8.5 and trade off Duchene they will need some salary back I would think ... Ryan makes around 7 ... Anderson may get traded ... not too much in the way of big salaries on the team to help hit the floor.
So two 1st's, Neal -1M and Dube/Mangiapane may be in the ballpark.
Though I'm not sure about Neal in the fit in chemistry department.

How does anyone think duchene is better than Monahan. Duchene is great and I would love him as our 2nd center but monahan is younger, has a better two way game, and had been on pace with duchene numbers wise and is on pace this year to shatter anything duchene has done. And it's clear who is the bigger leader, and who has the better attitude. I live in Ottawa but am a flames fan so I see alot of both teams.... Also maybe a tad bit of bias with the username lol

Monahan has outscored duchene every year they've been in the league except his rookie season. Duchene is also average at best defensively.

 

[23Monahan]

Would be crazy having Monahan, Lindholm, duchene, Backlund, Janks, Ryan, and Bennet all.able to play as top 9 centers though I must admit. I feel like with our center depth stone is the better target, and a tkchuck-backlund-stone second line would be so good both ways.

I wouldn’t consider that a ton. Let alone a megaton.

You know a thread is going to go well when the person who started the thread makes a post like this as the fourth response.

Flames fans seem to be more laid back than other fan bases on here which is the only reason this already hasn't gone bad.

 

[QcFlames12]

How many players would you give up two firsts for in a cap era.

Firsts are key, not many players without long term deals i would give up two of them.

 

[GoGoSens]

Late firsts which have the same value as a 2nd rounder to be honest.

 

[GoGoSens]

And nah Mohanan is a product of Gadreau its not like he puts up shattering numbers away from him

To me Mohanan is the new Brendan Morrison a good complimentary player

but hes not capable of carrying a line.

 

[Potty John]

Duchene is a problem player that we don’t need corrupting our team. Monahan is easily the better and more valuable player of the two, we don’t need Duchene for our first line.

I agree Monahan has great chemistry with Gaudreau that line shouldn't be broken up. We should target a upgrade at center for the second line.

I think a bigger center that plays a cycling game should be our target. Tkachuks playstyle would mesh a lot better than with a rush center like Duchene. Then we can have a
Bennet - Backlund - frolik third line to shut down teams.

We would need to trade Neal to be able to resign him as well. Then the trade would he getting expensive. Maybe send a first and a prospect if we are just looking at him as a rental.

Mike Stone (Marks brother, cap reasons) + 2019 first + Andrew Mangiapane + Austin Czarnik (good player just hasn’t fit in)

For

Matt Duchene

Would upgrade mangiapane to dube if they wanted too.

Gaudreau-monahan-lindholm
Tkachuk-duchene-neal
Bennett-backlund-frolik
Hathaway-jankowski-ryan

Nice and deep for a run. Gives tkachuk an opportunity with more offensive players.

And Duchene carries the Sens where?

Yeah right to the bottom....big headache and losing follows him everywhere.

Unless he comes cheap, no thanks
