3rd line Center Help

I think he would be a pretty good fit there but we cant afford to trade him without someone coming back as it leaves a gap in our roster. From a flames POV (bc im also a bolts fan) what would it take to get TyJo if Jankowski is involved in the trade? Frolik and a pick mid pick?

Good commentary .. was thinking about Ferland also .. him and Jancowksi are around $6M in cap and both on last years contracts.. Calgary looking to lower cap some so why I suggested draft pick .. If Calgary happens to like Tylo or Gourde.. by all means they can be had but they do have stupid NTCs .. I agree Calgary and Tampa make logical trade partners.. would love to get Harmonic also and maybe Tampa gives Sergachev in deal.. Tyler Johnson and Sergachev for Harmonic Janokowski and Ferland?.. LOTS of logic for both teams

Ferland is on the nucks now wth

Cant Cirelli be your 3c? Or Johnson? Or Gourde? Assuming Stampkos and Point are your top 2.

Frolick not Ferland .. close enough

Stamkos days at center are at/almost over ... optimally Stamkos goes to 2nd line wing and Cirelli escalates to 2C although he not ready offensively yet to me. So Tampa has 2 top lines ..

Issue is this leave huge 3C hole and Johnson and Gourde are small and not capable of creating offense as they are just role wings .. Paquette who I like COULD do 3C role but .. like Cirelli .. he not ready yet offensively.. hence the center need now and hope ABB ready in 2020
