Value of: Johnny Gaudreau to Columbus

[Larry Hanson]

Would love to get Elvis, kid looks legit and the Flames need a #1 starter. Package him with a good RD (really good prospect) and maybe a decent pick I think would get it done.

 

[ViD]

Nutivaara + Merzlikins + a prospect

Let’s do it

 

[Flamesfan62]

Murray Merzlinkins pick and Dubinsky

Gross

 

[Flamesfan62]

Hearing that Calgary might be trying to sign Hall which means Gaudreau gets traded 99%.

Columbus is interested.

Heard Calgary looking for a top 4 defenseman and a goalie.

Ryan Murray and Korpisalo / Merzlikins as a start ?

You’re way off pal

 

[Double Dion]

Nutivaara + Merzlikins + a prospect

Let’s do it

It would need to be either a 1st or an equivalent prospect for me, but I'd do that.

I think you’re up for a big surprise.

Montreal fans were also laughing at our Domi proposals.

As they should have. You think Domi is in the same neighborhood as Gaudreau?

How'd you calculate that

 

[Mobiandi]

I think getting Panarin for a song skewed the expectations of Jackets fans

I also think we've got to be a bit realistic. I think Gaudreau is worth a couple of 1st round picks. Merzlikins is worth a high 2nd. One of their RD is worth that too. Then you add in the 1st and I think the value is there. Johnny is an elite playmaker, but he only has 2 years left.

 

[treple13]

I don't see a piece that gets it done.

Plus Flames would sign Hall to add to Gaudreau. If we sign Hall and trade Gaudreau, I might be done with Flames hockey for a while

Columbus is going to sigh Hall

Columbus is going to sigh Hall

I find it unlikely

Big UFA signings have never been good to the Jackets. I'm sure they'll see if Hall is open to an offer, but I don't have too much confidence. Once bitten, twice shy I guess. I guess we'll see.

So does Merzlikins... He would be a nice complimentary piece in a Johhny deal, but certainly not the main one.

 

[Double Dion]

Well I guess I was wrong. "Nutivaari" is barely worth Pu, not a 2nd.

 

[Iggys Dome]

The only attractive pieces on CBJ are off-limits (PLD, Jones) so I don't think there is a deal to be made revolving around JG.

As for Korpi, he's an interesting piece for sure. However with the amount of goalies on the market I'm not interested in paying a premium for him, we could always run it back with Talbot/Rittich and go after Markstrom if need be.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I would consider this: Jenner, Murray/Savard, Texier & Foudy.

Does anyone else get the feeling Flames fans will be mighty depressed with the return they eventually get for trading away Johnny G?

The more I see of this offseason the more convinced I become that the best thing to do this fall is add not subtract. The price good players are garnering is at an all time low. If we're moving anyone out I'd do it at the deadline not now.

 

[CraigsList]

Columbus doesn't have very many appealing pieces, at least ones they are willing to move.

I mean I'd be pretty shocked if we trade him at all, so yeah, I would definitely be depressed

 

[Some Other Flame]

Short of something around Bjorkstrand, there's nothing the Blue Jackets have they could realistically offer that would be overly enticing. They're just not good trading partners.

And if the Treliving trades the Flames' offensive engine for a goalie, he'll being signing his own pink slip. Unlikely he's anywhere near that dumb.

 

[Volica]

Columbus doesn’t have the pieces for this deal unless they gut their team.

We have a good GM, in terms of trades.

I think the waters been so tainted up north you guys don’t know what a good return would look like.
