Proposal: Flames Sell-off

[super6646]

Backlund is one of the best Swedish players in the league, We can only hope.

Lindholm and Andersson could be joining him shortly

Yes, but he's like 29? Hes not getting any younger lol

 

[Deen]

Yes, but he's like 29? Hes not getting any younger lol

Oh no. He's in his prime?

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Matthew Tkachuk for William Nylander

Tkachuk - Matthews - Kapanen

Gaudreau - Monahan - Nylander

 

[flamesforcup]

lol we lose a couple games and people want to trade and fire everyone. When we win a couple games in a row than people start planning where they are gonna stand during the cup parade

Id rather keep Tkachuk

 

[Foppberg]

Backlund would be nice.

 

[greasysnapper]

Would be nice if they were sellers, the problem is that Treliving is under fire, and he needs to win now. He burned his last safe out on Peters, who had the selljob of the year talking about his fancy computer algorythms to coaching and how he he has a legoman haircut. Treliving is without a doubt in self preservation mode and this team is going to sell even more of their future for a chance at breaking into the playoffs. Watch Dube or Andersson get moved for some over the hill vet.

The best thing about this entire situation is with the Flames playing meh to even sucky, the new Saddledome doesn't get steam which helps taxpayers in Calgary who want no part of that nonsense.

 

[FameFlame069]

Oh no. He's in his prime?

Like you said in his prime, therefore as Dube improves his all around game in the nhl, Backlund's will be getting older, leaving his prime as Dube steos up, right? That's how you build a competitive team, you don't let your players be to relied on

Matthew Tkachuk for William Nylander

Tkachuk - Matthews - Kapanen

Gaudreau - Monahan - Nylander

As an Edmonton fan Tkachuk is one of the most annoying players to play against. He changes games through being a douche and also being a great 2 way player. Calgary is going to want a hefty + on that.

Add until you think you’re overpaying, then add more.

Whats your offer?

The Flames giving up the younger, better, and better contract status player makes sense in a rebuild? Or at all?

Tkachuk has been PPG for the last 50 games or so and brings crazy intangibles and physical play. The only player you have that starts that conversation is someone you're not willing to move.

I would probably be willing to do it for Marner as well, but I doubt Leafs fans are on board with that. Matthews would be a ridiculous ask lol.

Maybe Marner.

I wasn't saying that Matthews was a fair trade. That's realistically the only trade that either helps a potential rebuild or makes them better though. I agree it's a pretty outrageous ask right now. If Tkachuk keeps up his current play for a whole season, it becomes more realistic

 

[WTFMAN99]

He's less effective than the current Leafs

Classic case of hoping a change of scenery sparks him, we could very well (slightly) lose the trade though if things continue as they are.

 

[Connor]

Flames should trade Gaudreau. The team has good parts but trading Gaudreau would give a culture shock/change.

IMO the offence Gaudreau provides < Getting a team identity

There's no way the team is better after trading Gaudreau. The only reason to do that would be to start the rebuild again.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Brown has a higher career pt/game despite playing basically 4th line minutes, up to 3rd line this year. I don't think it's a ridiculous offer, outside of draft pedigree or LW/RW preference, I don't see the difference.

man leafs fans are so good at trading 4th liners for better players

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Penguins 2019 1st for Sam Bennett 50% retained?

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Tkachuk is more valuable than Marner so we wouldn’t be trading him for Nylander.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Connor Brown currently has more points then Sam Bennett and has basically every year?

It's literally the fact he's a 4th overall pick that has people holding on, that's it.

Tkachuk is more valuable than Marner so we wouldn’t be trading him for Nylander.

I can see you're taking advantage of the new laws.

 

[Baksfamous112]

No, that is just terrible. First off, Calgary isn't gonna sell the kitchen sink to one team. Secondly, that's a whole lot of meh, and we could probably get more futures selling them off individually.

How about:

Monahan, Kylington, Gillies, for:

2019 and 2020 top 5 protected 1st
2019 2nd rounder
Cayden Primeau
Nick Suzuki

Gillies is just a throw-in, his best case scenario is backup for Carey Price. Kylington will probably be a bottom pairing d-man with 40-50 point upside and a good PP QB (he's trapped behind our other prospects though). Monahan gives you a legit #1 center.

No thanks
