We have too many little guys. Thats the issue.
Just putting something out there, but Garland's Monster half season in Tuscon that got him promoted was with Varady as HC in his first season. Garland's first monster season in the NHL (so far) is with Varady on the staff here.
Would LOVE that. Happy to add Hunt.I’m still all for trading Hayton and Keller for Tkachuk, Bennett and Rinaldo lol
I think Calgary would laugh at that.I’m still all for trading Hayton and Keller for Tkachuk, Bennett and Rinaldo lol

They are thinking of trading Gaudreau who is a significant upgrade on Keller and makes less. Why would anyone consider trading a heart and soul guy for a small perimeter player who makes the same money and produces less?? Its a pipedream from Coyote fans.I think they are retooling and trying to figure out of the Tkachuk retool is better than the Gaudreau retool. I think if you offer them pieces to go towards on rather than the other they could have a quick re-tool
In a heartbeat. Doubt the Flames would...Johnny and Keller would make Calgary as soft as the Coyotes. Crouse would need to be added.I’m still all for trading Hayton and Keller for Tkachuk, Bennett and Rinaldo lol
I mean, I did buy a John Scott sweater.We have Hayden. Do we need to upgrade to Reeves?
We have too many little guys in the top six.We have too many little guys. Thats the issue.
Hayton can't make our team, let alone talking about contributing.Keller and Hayton are both younger than Tkachuk and are both ready to contribute right now today. The two of them make an intriguing package to any team for any player.

Hayton this season 25gp 2 goals 5 assists 7 pts
Yep, 7pts in 25gp for the 5th overall in his Draft +3 year is remarkably bad. Jenik is only 1pt behind him, but he's also played 19 less games
And what choice do we have? Other than Dvo, what other true centers do we have in the organization anywhere close to taking a top six role? If we can't use him in a deal for a legit, young, top line scorer, there's zero reason to move on from him at this point. Gotta hope he develops.0.28 p/gp is not great...not good really if you're hired to score.
But consider this, Shane Doan scored 0.23 p/gp his first season (74 games) and only 0.19 his 2nd season (63 games).
Perhaps we need more patience...me included.
I think both of those Doan seasons would have been before Hayton's current age though. And with a little more competition for ice time.0.28 p/gp is not great...not good really if you're hired to score.

Doan's first four years were painful, no doubt. It takes many players five years before they break out.Doan was almost traded to the Isles for Robert Reichel he was such a disappointment early in. AZ offered Isles a choice between Brad Isbister and Doan and they took Isbister.
Not everyone is going to step into the lineup and pot 76 goals. How many years did we wait for Selanne to make the jump from the Finnish league and even then we had to match a offer from the Flames. 4-5 years? And in that time he had military service. A broken leg. Zhannov. Same thing. 4-5 years and at least double the number of that in agents who claimed to represent him.Doan's first four years were painful, no doubt. It takes many players five years before they break out.
