I know its Eklund meaning it's like a 0.000000000001% chance of happening but What would Ottawa fans be looking for in a return?

[Clamshells]

Chiasson + 4th

 

[BigRangy]

Calgary doesn't have the cap space or the assets to make a fair trade here. Unless Sens fans like Brouwer.

 

[EP to Kuzmenko]

Probably Tkachuk + 1st as a starting point.

 

[RedHot]

Flames don't have the pieces to acquire him.

 

[QcFlames12]

Bouma, smid, stajan, And Wideman for Hoffman! Seems fair doesn't it :p honestly we would have to throw a cap dump the other way and we all know how Ottawa are a budget team. Doubt there is a deal in place other than there being another deal for us to clear some space.

Would like Hoffman, as we do need a shooter but can't afford it right now

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I can't believe people are saying Calgary doesn't have the assets to acquire him as of now he's 1 year from UFA

 

[InfinityIggy]

Would love to have Hoffman though, but I don't think he is going anywhere.

 

[Lunatik]

I'm not at all interested in Hoffman. We're trying to get harder to play against and need a top line RW, not LW or C

 

[Lunatik]

So much this.

Would love to have Hoffman though, but I don't think he is going anywhere.

Where does he fit? He's not going to be happy playing behind Gaudreau and Tkachuk should be our #2 LW in a couple years.

 

[Stephen Gionta]

Flames don't have the pieces to acquire him.

The Devils apparently didn't have the pieces to acquire Taylor Hall, but hey look at who's number 9 on the Devils.

 

[Ezekial]

Will they like him in 18-19 when his full NTC becomes modified?

Does Ottawa desperately need a d man? No they need a goals scoring winger... Hey Whats hoffman? haha

 

[Bhurak]

Probably Tkachuk + 1st as a starting point.

I can't imagine the Flames considering that at all.

 

[CaptainCrunch67]

Probably Tkachuk + 1st as a starting point.

Yeah, no.

Laugable, Hoffman in no universe is worth two first round picks, and one that's a very high pick.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Will they like him in 18-19 when his NMC becomes modified?

Limited/Modified NTC, quite different from a NMC.

Modified NTC: Submits a list of 15 teams he can not be traded to

As a Sens fan, I like Hoffman a lot, but the Flames would never give up Tkachuk and our 1st for him.

 

[Ezekial]

Limited NTC, quite different from a NMC.

I'm aware of that, that's what it modifies to:

Same thing Frans Nielsen got except Nielsen has a 10 team NTC.

We have conflicting information then:

Again, No Movement Clause is different than a No Trade Clause. You said NMC. The picture you posted say No Trade Clause.

Ok, well, a full NTC and NMC are very very similar. Whereas a Limited NTC and NMC are not. I meant full NTC though, my mistake.


How is that conflicting? Your source says the same thing. Either way you can't trade Brouwer for Hoffman - which is what I initially had a problem with.

Mine just says:

CLAUSE DETAILS: Modified NTC: Submits a list of 15 teams he can not be traded to

In general for the entire contract, not limited to the years yours does. Unless I'm reading it wrong (entirely possible).

Does it?

I see that it says Full NTC then after 2 years it becomes modified, which is what I also initially said.

 

[Haatley]

Probably Tkachuk + 1st as a starting point.

Lol.
Really?

 

[Zirakzigil]

Flames have zero cap space for him and no room on the left wing.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Would our 1st next year not be close enough? Not saying we do that or that I want to, but we have plenty of pieces to get a deal done.

Gio, Brodie, Dougie, Johnny, Mony, Benny, Tkachuk, Backlund and our 1st next season are pieces that come to mind.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

@Ezekial you are correct, I was misreading it.

Flames have zero cap space for him and no room on the left wing.

Since when? Our top three wingers are Brouwer, Gaudreau and Frolik. One is a RW, one can play both and one is LW.

By my count unless we are expecting Shinkurak AND Tkachuk to make the roster, we've got two winger spots in the top nine open.
