Idk man that Flames trade is pretty bad. Strome's breakout season is a product of Panarin and Buch hasn't been playing well at all. I'm a big fan or Georgiev though, I think he's a stud. No defense in front of him and he has a save % right around .913

heard some gaudreau trade rumors, figured some teams may potentially overvalue strome because of his breakout. agree with buchnevich too. considered adding a couple draft picks ie: 2021 2nd, 2022 2nd with condition it becomes first if rangers win cup with gaurdreau on team. thoughts on that?

Don't get me wrong I see the appeal behind Buch and Strome. At their very best they have the potential to be two 50 point forwards- in fact Buch's stats through his first 4 seasons are very similar to Kreiders. But I don't think the Flames would want that type of return. Just my opinion though.

If you include the picks then possibly. The Flames timeline is to win now though so that could throw a wrench into things

Montreal isn't trading Drouin. Skjei isn't worth anything near that.

there were rumors at start of year about habs shopping drouin, and bergevin has a histroy of trading players he says he wont trade. rangers had considerable interest in drouin before he went to montreal, have to assume they still would. montreal always talks about needing a top 4 puck moving defenseman, and skjei is that with term. realistically, what else would have to be added to make this happen?
