what would it take? Monahan on a cheap contract for another 5 years, would help tampas cap a lot
lolCgy is not trading Monahan for Point, let alone adding. Silly goose.
Why not
I think you’re being optimistic about Point’s next contract. Given the tax advantage maybe you’re right but I think Point could get a huge contract.Point's contract won't be that much higher than Monahan's that we would downgrade our 1C. We would save maybe 2-2.5mil. We'll get rid of some other players to help with the cap.
Point is much much better than BSM. It'd be a significant plus and CGY doesn't really have a lot of pieces that TBL would be too crazy about.
Honestly with the level of players you are talking you would likely need to turn it into a biggest blockbuster to make this all work out.
Something like Tkachuk+Monahan for Point+Miller+Raddysh+Katchouk. (That value isn't right but you get the idea that you'd need to widen the scope.)
If you're going to take away TBL's 2nd or 3rd best player you need to give them a real reason to go for it. I think to make it close you'd need to get super messy with it.

That's way too much. Tkachuk is basically untouchable in Calgary, he's not some throw in.Point is much much better than BSM. It'd be a significant plus and CGY doesn't really have a lot of pieces that TBL would be too crazy about.

Calgary already has an undersized playoff ghost on their top line....
I don't think they need another
So an 80 point centre and 70 point winger for an 80 point centre and random crap?
Tkachuk and Monahan for Point and some okay pieces? Yeah this is very bad for the Flames.

You all are missing the point, read the parenthesis again.
What I'm trying to get at is if you are asking a team for a special player like point you have to seriously give up something special back in return and on top of that have a very compelling reason to make the move. CGY doesn't really have a single player that does that, nor would adding something marginal on top of BSM address that either. So you would need to expand the trade in some way to meet that criteria.
Adding on MT and then balancing it out would possibly accomplish that and while I'm sure Tkachuk is untouchable from the flames, you're asking for Point who is more untouchable and TBL has no reason to get rid of so of course that's what you're going to have to do. You don't get to ask for other teams untouchables while protecting your own, it goes both ways. (This is from a neutral fan also btw)

Look you're rambling on like Point is a league better than Monahan. He's not. People can use line mates if they want liek Gaudreau is be all end all, Point was stapled to Kucherov, a 130 point forward, from quarter 2 of the season on. Monahan and Point scored nearly the same. Provide the same intangibles. Monahan is bigger. Will be cheaper. Matt Tkachuk is younger and on a nearly the same production path as point and is literally the mold of player this team has always missed. You adding on a 2nd line forward on a meh contract and 2 prospects that might never make the NHL is asinine. Point isn't good enough to warrant this dumb trade idea you've provided regardless of your reasoning.
If you're a neutral fan, maybe you should worry about your team.
