Value of: Johnny Hockey to LA
- Thread starter Kingspiracy
- Start date
LOL.
Seriously OP, its gonna cost a lot more. I really wouldn't want anything in LA anyway.
If it were to happen it would take a lot, they would want a first round pick as well as a really good prospect, and a solid top 6 forward. That's at the minimum. Plus la isn't in a position to make that trade unless there going for the cup within the next 2 years which I don't think is there game plan right now. They aren't the lightning or the leafs right now!

I know he would cost more, hence the ++, I vaguely recall Flames fans after TT in the past (not for Johnny) but if it's a no go thats fine.
Doughty and Kopitar have more if not similar value. Doughty has more, but with CGY needing a RH forward, a goaltender, and a sweetener maybe something like
Pearson, Tiffoli, and Quick would and should do it- but that’s a lot from LA.

I was thinking TT, 1st +, but I wouldn't be offended if that gets the f*** off treatment from the flames faithful, Gaudreau is a core guy that is young and locked up at a reasonable rate.

He is as much an untouchable as almost anybody else in the league, especially considering we are division rivals. Maybe doughty could pry gaudreau out of calgary though, seeing as he would LOVE to play with tkachuk

Well they aren't going to trade their best player for stuff that you deem expendable.
Would you trade Kopitar for Lindholm + a first?
Without going into too much detail, the idea of the Flames giving up a 24 year old on a really good contract who's one of the top offensive centers in the league for a package with Toffoli as the key part of the deal is laughable. If the Flames were trading Gaudreau it signals a rebuild and the cost would be a thorough gutting of the Kings prospect and draft picks

I say our top prospect is untouchable and Quick is a no go because we don't have a replacement and that comes across as i'm only moving expendables? TT isn't exactly chopped liver.

Not allowed to say the “R-Word” (rebuild)
As a centerpoint in a trade for Gaudreau he is, besides I wouldn't be interested in a deal around Quick, and if your best prospect or two isn't available then the Kings don't have a package to offer.

Pretty much.
If you are offering a 47 point player for an 84 point player there is no way that is going to go over well.

Yeah, good luck getting him. We don’t need Toffoli+. We’d want Doughty with us adding to Gaudreau. Not gonna pick up on lesser players.

Drouin was dealt for Sergachev (Best Habs prospect at the time). I understand it's different because it was another DG, but you kinda have no choice to be ready to include your best prospect for a player like Gaudreau.

As for the trade, while I doubt Gaudreau gets moved until his last year if at all, I actually think it's exactly what the Flames should do, and the sooner the better while his value is at its peak. He's a great player, and you can't deny the offense, but is he the kind of guy that drives wins on this team? That eventually brings the cup back to Calgary? I personally don't think so, and that's why I'd move him.

Anyone can be a center if they have a French surname and play in Canada.
