Value of: Johnny Hockey to LA

[crackdown44]

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.

Not sure that Doughty @ 11 mil has more value than Gaudreau @ 6.75. Cap matters

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.

Yes he drives wins all the time. He was not the problem in Calgary last year. Whenever a player got playing time with him, they lit it up. He makes everyone around him better.

His whole career has been defined by clutch moments and dragging his teams to wins.

Id like doughty...
Lindholm getz rakell gibson and steel are off the table

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

10 first rounders.

For the Kings...A bakers dozen

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Vilardi is a non starter, he's our potential Kopitar heir.

Sorry, you don’t get to have non-starter prospects when you’re after another team’s best player.

 

[DropIt]

Valardi + Kempe + 1st + 2nd
For
JH + Frolik

 

[1989]

When rival fans (primarily HFOilers) are speaking up for the value of another team's player, you know your proposal must be laughable.

It's not about you or your team.

 

[PensandCaps]

one of the worst trade threads ive ever read. wants an elite player on a great deal for Toffoli and scraps. lmao....

 

[Woodtkachuk]

it would literally cost doughty. Even then I would be pissed because of contract, age and need.

Why would the flames trade their best PPG cost controlled player signed to multiple years?

You won't even offer your best prospect? what a joke thread lol

 

[unicornpig]

Vilardi is a non starter, he's our potential Kopitar heir.

you want them to give up their best player but you dont want to give up anything valuable in return. real smart thread bud.

 

[DRW204]

Toffoli is like the second or third peice in a Gaudreau deal. Terrible basis

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Bit of a stretch indeed.....

 

[780il]

Villardi + Kupari ++

But then again, why would Calgary even do that? Trade their best player for a bunch of question marks.

Gaudreau isn't going anywhere

 

[DFF]

Gaudreau for kopitar

And I may still have to think about it due to age and salary

Nothing else really works for the flames

 

[Kranix]

I'd probably do Pearson and TT at a stretch but we don't have a Quick replacement.

Why do you choose to exist as a massive homer? Become self aware and research the greater game of hockey.

 

[DFF]

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.

No worry
Nobody is going to trade their franchise player for prospect s

Love the ignorance.

He put the team on his back as a rookie and dragged them to the playoffs, where he was the MVP of their playoff run. He did the same in the back 1/3 of the 2016-17 season to get them to the playoffs.

Without Gaudreau the Flames would be at 9 consecutive seasons of missing the playoffs (and counting).

He's won at every level, and proven to be big game player.

USHL Championship
NCAA National Championship
WJC Gold Medal

3rd piece? just as dumb as the the ops proposal.

Make sense, get rid of your franchise player and rebuild again before even trying
Gaudreau is similar to kane, he can win with the right teammates

Anyway, trading him for spare parts like tofoli is not the right thing regardless

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Gadreau is close to franchise winger. He's on a steal contract with 4 more years of 6.75 AAV. And Calgary would even consider moving him to a Division Rival?

 

[Haatley]

Vilardi is a non starter, he's our potential Kopitar heir.

Lmao
Another prime example of teams over rating their prospect.

Viliardi IS a non starter... from thw FLAMES point of view.

 

[DRW204]

3rd piece? just as dumb as the the ops proposal.

PPG winger signed for 6.75M for 4 years vs 45-50 pt winger signed for 2 years at 4.6M, please tell me what your additions are to make an enticing deal for CGY and keeping Toffoli as the primary/most valuable piece.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

LA doesn't have the tradeable assets to acquire Gaudreau. Your prospects aren't enough and you can't move Kopi or Doughty. All your other assets outside of the two of them just don't start the conversation (IMO)

 

[a mangy Meowth]

3rd piece? just as dumb as the the ops proposal.

Toffoli is just not that valuable man
