Friedman: Flames trying to acquire a first round pick

[ARoggy94]

This might sound insane, but if Canucks win the lottery I'd easily give up Tkachuk and more. Size and nastiness is overrated, especially if you can get Dahlin.

im sorry i must be reading this wrong. are you implying anyone would find it insane to give up tkachuk for the 1st overall pick?

A lot of Flames fans hate the idea simply because they don't want Tkachuk on a rival. Canucks fans will probably not like it because in a vacuum Dahlin's value is enormous.

 

[Nylanderthal]

They can have our first and second rounders for Dougie Hamilton

 

[hockeyguy1967]

I might be in the minority of fellow Oilers fans but what about Oilers 1st for Hamilton BEFORE the lotto? Calgary can get lucky and land a top 3 or end up with what 8th?

 

[Wayne Primeau]

Could we not do this? The Flyers are obviously not moving Provorov and they're certainly not moving a first with him. Perfectly fine if you don't like the offer phlocky posted but we don't need to send the thread into the spiral of doom because of it.

The Flames are obviously not moving Tkachuk. It's a circular conversation. I've argued before and will continue to that Tkachuk is the most untouchable player on the Flames, including Gaudreau and Hamilton.

I like it, and I'm a Canucks fan.

You might be undervaluing Tkachuk there.

Or you're under valuing provorov?

Flames prob don't want to move tkachuk and flyer prob don't want to move provorov, everyone move on...

Dahlin by all accounts is supposed to be in the echiel/Matthews tier.
Calgary would need a lot more then just Tkachuk to get dahlin.

Fine, have it your way.

 

[Tripod]

That is absolutely terrible for the Flames. The last thing the Flames need are RHS Dman. RHS wingers are their main need. A lot of Flames and Flyers fans probably won't, but I'd do Provorov and a 1st for Tkachuk, or Konency, a 1st, and a one of your good LHD prospects. That's about it.

Christ. Provy is worth more than Tkachuk.

You're right, but some fan's won't give up their favorite players for anything and Tkachuk has definitely become a fan favorite in Calgary.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Honestly with Fox possibly not signing with us I may be entitled to do it, that is if Dominik Bokk is still available.

Why would Fox not sign?

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Why would Fox not sign?

Flames have been one of the worst teams in the league when it comes to using rookies properly. Also the Flames currently have 4 NHL ready RHS Dman, and 1 Dman that plays better on the right side (Brodie). Fox probably feels overshadowed.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

You're right, but some fan's won't give up their favorite players for anything and Tkachuk has definitely become a fan favorite in Calgary.

However, Dahlin can become a fan favourite, replacing Tkachuk.

 

[NitHeel]

You might be undervaluing Tkachuk there.

Or you the value of a young defenseman who's already serving capably as a #1 vs. that of a forward.

But my point isn't to diminish Tkachuk in any way, it's just to acknowledge that a team that's trying to rebuild its defense isn't trading their elite young defenseman along with a 1st round pick to get another forward.

Offensive rebuild is more desperate in Vancouver.

31 Thoughts: Will the Calgary Flames trade for a first-round pick? - Sportsnet.ca

12. Word out of the GM meetings is Calgary GM Brad Treliving will look to add a first-round pick in this year’s draft. The Flames traded their 2018 selection to the Islanders in the Travis Hamonic deal, and will try to replace it. That would likely mean a major move, but the way this season is ending necessitates something big.

 

[Chainshot]

If Buffalo winds up 6th or 7th in the draft order, I wonder if they would look to move the pick.

 

[BoHorvat 53]

The Flames are not trading Tkachuk, especially not to Vancouver. That'd be lunacy.

You know what would be even more lunatic? The Canucks handing over Dahlin/Svechnikov/Zadina to the Flames

Brady Tkachuk for Dougie Hamilton?

No way. I disapprove that trade. I'd personally rather keep Tkachuk.

I’m not a Canucks fan. I’m a Coyotes fan. I’m pretty sure Chayka is basically obsessed with Dougie Hamilton.

Okay.

Rasmus Andersson to the Rangers.

That would be a not great idea on their part, since he's the perfect age to take Stone's place like right now. I'd rather see them get an underwhelming return for Stone than trade Andersson.

If the Flames are going to trade someone for picks, I would hope it'd be Stone (I know he won't get a first) or Bennett. I do think Bennett could get a mid/low first; he's still young, he's got pedigree, and he has a lot of traits that hockey people like.

 

[Baxterman]

Burke and Treliving in full desperation mode.

A report that they are trying to get a 1st round pick means they are in desperation mode?

LOL
