LeBrun: Lebrun: CGY wants Duclair as part of return for Hanifin. Looking at other offers too

[viper0220]

The Flames will lose Hanifin and the center piece will Duclair One good thing is that this sets up the Flames for a rebuild.

[SpezDispenser]

Lol, i doubt that's the deal breaker.

 

[Double Dion]

Woof. More half measures. Did someone explain Duclair was a decent player because he was fast and players who come off his injury aren't fast anymore?

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Calgary

 

[HighLifeMan]

Nowhere does it state he would be the centerpiece, he even followed it up saying that Florida isn't the top option...

 

[VanillaCoke]

LoL classic flames

 

[wonton15]

Can you unhire a GM?

Lot of fans ready to turn on Conroy asap. Tbf I’ll be there too if he is the centrepiece, but ppl need to calm down until the Ts are crossed

 

[VijayPatel11]

Let's hope the add isn't so big... Because if this happens it's looking like another Bill Zito Calgary Flames masterclass

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Conroy offer to a banging start I see.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Huberdeau wants Duclair in Calgary, add the 2023 2nd and get it done Billy Z.

 

[Seattle King]

The Toffoli deal signified chum in the water and now the other GMs are circling...

 

[BKarchitect]

The Flames should not trade with Zito. Woof. I know this speculation means other parts…maybe the Flames get something exciting back like Samoskevich too or at least Nause?

But overall - I’d be damn leery about this.

 

[ManofSteel55]

If there are "several teams" involved, I can't imagine that Duclair is the best offer for Hanafin, unless there are some picks and/or prospects going back with him.

 

[Kielbasa]

That tweet is designed to trigger Flames fans. Duclair can't be the main piece coming back for the Flames unless Conroy is an actual idiot.

 

[thefutures]

Might as well be free

 

[Stealth1616]

What are the Flames doing? They really don’t want to commit to a rebuild hey

 

[Bond]

That tweet got the clicks he wanted lol. I read it as Zito has tabled a lowball offer surrounding Duclair. Lundell is the only attractive piece on the Panthers as a centrepiece for Hanifin and that’s not happening

 

[Some Other Flame]

Conroy doesn't seem to be very good at this

I know everyone's clinging to "not as a centerpiece" but when it's literally the only name mentioned. . . .

 

[Fig]

So, the Flames are talking to Florida and have a package on the table, but are insisting on Duclair as a throw in or side piece or something?

And... they have other offers on the table.

What a confusing ass way to mention the situation. LOL.

Lol, i doubt that's the deal breaker.

TBH, with the pieces that Florida has to trade that are in the Hanifin echelon... I wouldn't be surprised that Duclair not being part of a bigger package is a deal breaker because the Flames have other teams who are interested. I interpreted the tweet as Duclair not being part of the primary pieces in a deal, but a deal breaker add on piece in terms of value that the Flames are looking for?

The age and skill profile matches, reasonable cap hit for what we are hoping for and decent value.

Not I. After a bit of confusion yesterday, I'm going to let Conroy do his thing. If he is an absolute failure, the silver lining is that he has gone and forced CSEC's hand in allowing for a rebuild. I'm OK letting him do his thing even if it's confusing as hell. This as long as he doesn't add any weird long term contracts. Short term ones, fine.

One thing I think we will have to "endure" after analyzing yesterday's deal, Conroy will get pretty close to the value he's supposed to get for the players he's selling. But we might have to deal with the fact that 20-30% of that value will be in smaller assets or cap savings etc. that help to add up to and/or exceed the baseline amount we want for the players.

Like, other players that we hope for a late first, I assume we'll be getting an approximate value of that but a "disappointing" package of high second and piles of 3rd-7th rounders and rights and small cap savings, younger age and other weird things like that.

 

[DJJones]

Holy over reaction people.

The wording of that clearly means he would be a side piece. Probably instead of a prospect

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Bring in Duclair and hope he still has chemistry with Uberdeau.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Kind of Zito to throw out a lowball offer but it looks like Calgary has other options. But still, that he's even thinking Duclair as the centerpiece suggests other GM's know Calgary has their back against the wall and aren't offering a whole lot.

 

[TotalHomer]

Duclair for Hanifin straight up. Calgary gets 2 million in cap savings and cap space being at premium that's worth 2nd/3rd. Maybe add a late pick or a C prospect.

Lol Duclair is worth a third. I know Panthers favs are cocky after the Tkachuk trade but get real
