Flames decline for the 100th time. A team with center issues isn't trading their 1C for a defense

Sorry, first timer with this one. Why not play Lindholm at center, he actually covers 200 ft.

Monahan is a better center, Same reason Giroux, Stamkos, Benn, Wheeler don't play center

I thought the same thing...until yesterday...

Too soon.

I'm sorry, it was right there. I had to

You win the internet for today.

let me find the tweet i saw yesterday, it cracked me up

It's so hard to acquire a center that the only way to do it is give away a better center.

I think Monahan for Dumba is probable, but Calgary likely isn't giving up Monahan one for one in that. tweener 1/2C for Calgary's new 4D isn't great value.

This is perfect.

Yeah CGY probably has the leverage if they have that discussion. It would def be a way to shake up the Flames, but losing Monny would hurt unless they can find some other moves to accompany.

It likely sees Lindholm slide to center full time and Lindholm/Backlund/Bennett/Ryan/Gawdin becomes the middle of the ice which is just average. They would then likely target a winger in trade (Hanifin as trade bait?) or free agency - they will bid on Hall by all accounts.

LOL

to be fair, I have seen multiple flames fans do that exact deal.. sure it probably doesn't happen but ya know

You have seen Calgaryman post it and he is a complete troll. The trade gets bashed every time its posted
