Montréal doesn't want to have Giordano contract for the next 5 years.

 

[DJJones]

That would push our window back 3 to 5 years.

I don't like it

 

[Sparky93]

Nope, not happening

6.75 for a #1 dman is a bad contract? Alrighty. That's fine because Calgary it's perfectly alright keeping it. I'd take that contract for a top pairing dman over what Plekanec's is for what he brings.

That would push our window back 3 to 5 years.

Exactly this. On top of that, outside of Sergachev, what do the Flames get for giving up a top pairing dman that is the heart and soul of the team and a future top 6 forward and potential 1st line C?

That would be closer for me. Hurts for two years but our window would be open for longer.

Weber - Giordano pairing may never let in an even strength goal for the rest of the season haha

 

[HOPE]

thats bad for the flames so, yes from a habs lol

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Isn't this your second really bad proposal for the Flames today?

This is a deal I find interesting

Ewww

 

[Some Other Flame]

Take out Bennett and Beaulieu and it's fair. Neither side does it.

Would also do this one but for Montreal's cap, Beaulieu would have to switched to Desharnais/Emelin/Plekanec.Sergachev plus pick plus cap dump is pretty fair for Giordano. Not that either team does again.

 

[blankall]

Just awful. Plecanec has negative value to a rebuilding team. Otherwise it's a bunch of lesser parts for two high end assets. No thanks.

Wow the only thing interested in there from a Flames perspective is Sergachev.

even this year a 1st round pick that's in the second half of the round in a draft that's been described as the weakest ever isn't interesting.

not enough in there for the Flames to consider moving Bennett, and they could probably get a better offer elsewhere for Gio if they were going to move him.

who says this years draft is weak? There's actually quite some good talent in the bottom half of this years first round...

hell noooooooooo

Dude, we see you liking every deal where habs get rid of 3 or 4 1st....

 

[BLNY]

Montreal isn't trading Sergachev for a 33 year old defender (when examining the notion of removing Bennett and Plekanec).

Not trading Sergachev straight up for Gio, let alone adding. Gio is a good player but he's making 7M till hes 38.

If Calgary retains 1M most i'd do is Beaulieu + 1st + another piece.

 

[QcFlames12]

I will try and be as polite as possible bur can montreal fans and generally all other fan bases stop with the Bennett threads.

20 year old powerforward who is going throuvh a softmore slump. He is going to be part of the calgary flames core for a long time and is exactly the type of player you build a second line around. He alongside Tkachuk are going to wreck opposing lines for a long time. So i politely decline and say nothing on your roster intices me enough to trade him. Great kid, great with the community, determined moreso than any flames player and will done a letter sooner or later.

Sorry not for sale

The draft this year is considered to be historically weak with not much to get overly excited about after the first half dozen picks.

Most of the insiders have quoted GM's who's resounding assessment of this draft is, ugh.

Lol

Seems like every draft is "historically week". And okay but you "say" they've quoted GM's....so who said what exactly?

And it never ends. He's old, he's expensive, blah blah blah. Guess what people, anyone that is worth anything in the NHL carries a big contract. And most of the players that could be dealt for a reasonable return are going to be older, that's just how it is. I can't believe how many people haven't clued into that.

You do realize that Weber is making $8 million until he is 40 and Markov is due for a new contract at the age of 38 which will put him in the 6-8 million range as well? Should we talk about Plekanec's contract? That contract of Giordano is quite in line with what he should have and actually not too bad at all when you look around the league. If you knew anything about Giordano you'd know that he started his career late so the chances of him staying as a top pairing dman to 38 is quite good. But no worries, Calgary will gladly keep him on his current contract and age.

So let me get this straight, Calgary retains money on a top pairing dman that is making 6.75 per in order to get back a late 1st in a weak draft and an average 2nd pairing dman? Unless that other piece is significant you should just avoid suggesting that. Would you take that kind of return for a retained Weber or Markov?

 

[Haatley]

Makes no sense for Flames. Value isn't close, either.
