Flames trade the 2 best players amd add the pick why exactly?

That's gonna be a very quick no from Anaheim.

No reason to "move on" from Reinhart, he's our best RW. Also, Gibson isn't being moved and even if he was we'd have to add another good piece to make that a fair package

You don't trade young players like Luukkonen if you want to compete for multiple years. You want a goalie making $900K or a goalie making nearly $7M?

(And Taylor Hall didn't sign here to play with Eric Staal.)

That wouldn’t even get you lindholm

well reinhart has best metrics and point totals so not sure what you mean.
Montour is behind Hannifin i will give you that much.

Murray just went for a 2nd round pick and he has 2 cup rings.
offer is a top 3 goalie prospect in league, a 1st round pick and a 2nd round pick about ready to make jump its more than fair.

as for reinhart there is no reason too, i am just doing it to fix other issues on the team

Lindholm outscored Reinhart the last 2 seasons and has an excellent 2-way game. Lindholm is undoubtedly better than Reinhart

they are both pretty similar players but reinhart has the higher ceiling and is more consistent in his growth.
we could argue for days over this but neither will back down on who is better so agree to disagree.
only reason i did the trade is cap hits and team needs(LD) other wise i see no reason to do the trade.
