Proposal: Toronto - Calgary

[CraigsList]

ORIGINAL OFFER

Hamonic (pending UFA 2020), 3.8m
Jankowski (RFA 2020), 1.675m


Ceci (pending UFA 2020), 4.5m
Spezza (pending UFA 2020), 700k

Hamonic and Ceci are both rentals. Hamonic doesn't make sense on Calgary's bottom pairing with Brodie and Andersson playing well as the top 4 D. Hamonic could be a great defender alongside Rielly and Muzzin-Barrie as the other pairing. Ceci is Ceci, he'll

Spezza would be a great veteran addition to the Flames in need of a C/RW with a right handed shot. Could play alongside Tkachuk and Lindholm, and both Lindholm/Spezza could take FO draws (mainly Spezza). Jankowski has 0 points (not a typo), but it's very unlike him. A change of scenery could work for him to start producing again. He's also pretty useful on the PK.

I believe the cap roughly works out.

Thoughts?


EDIT - Revised offer:

Kapanen
Ceci

for

Jankowski
Hamonic

Why would the flames do this? Hamonic is still useful.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Sounds Ok to me!

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Seems pretty bad for the Flames.

 

[Hitemwith4]

Cant see the flames doing this

But the leafs would do it in a heart beat

 

[Flamesfan62]

I see you like the idea of Lafreniere in Calgary

 

[izzy]

are you secretly a leafs fan

 

[WTFMAN99]

I'm a Leaf fan that think this is a bit slanted in our favor.

Toronto likely includes a prospect or something to make it fair.

 

[missionAvs]

Flames say no here.

 

[Troy]

Whats with all these Ceci trades. Thats just a cash dump as per usual.

 

[TOGuy14]

Leafs fan here.

Already sent the paperwork to league office, no take backs

 

[garyturner3]

This was proposed by a Calgary fan?!?

 

[bacon25]

God awful for the Flames. Spezza and Ceci are useless.

 

[FanTheFlames]

Would need to be a bigger send to Calgary as they get absolutely nothing of value in this deal ceci would be a 3rd line rd and a below average one at that and spezza would be strictly a 3rd/4th line player used for defensive zone faceoffs and thats about it. (hes 36 years old has no value). I could see something like:

Hamonic
Jankowski

For

Kapanen
Ceci

 

[TheUltimateOiler]

Calgary should be trying to get useful players. Lol

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Awful for Calgary

 

[blankall]

Hamonic is quite useful. He's also the Flames most physical shut down guy. They should definitely try to re-sign him. If they are out of the playoffs at the deadline, he'd have significant value as a trade chip.

Why are the Flames trading a piece with value for two negative pieces?

 

[CatchyTune]

Lol I cant imagine the reckoning upon us if a leaf fan proposed this

 

[CraigsList]

What about Kapanen instead of Spezza as someone proposed?

I do my best not to make homer trades. Just causes riled up emotion, but I guess i did that in reverse

Counter: Hyman instead of Kapanen? You can keep Jankowski if you want. 0 points in 26 games, not sure if he’s a small cap dump to even it out or not.

Hamonic alone as a rental is worth more than Ceci and Spezza...

 

[CaptainCrunch67]

Hamonic is worth more then Ceci and Spezza combined, they aren't even good enough to be on an NHL roster. There's no incentive for the Flames to do this at all.

Spezza has been pretty damn good.. Not his fault Babcock disliked him to start the season. He's also old, so asked to be rested on the 2nd half of back to backs. But when he plays, especially under Keefe, he has been good in a depth role and can move around the lineup.

 

[DJJones]

We could probably offer the Leafs a bag of pucks and get Ceci and Spezza.

This make's no sense haha

 

[Ainsy01]

its not enough to entice the flames to break up the locker room and the chemistry. Hamonic is loved by teammates, plays well with Hanifin and Treliving loves his character. Hes a very likeable guy and does alot in CGY too. Also a western Canada boy and being out west was a priority a couple years ago.

I expect the flames to offer him a 3 year extension this year, player probably wants 5+, and hopefully they meet in the middle. Something like 4 more years at his current cap hit would be awesome for both.
