Bennett is not worth liljegren, he's a borderline third liner

are you ok there is no way that Leafs do that deal

still no thank u

Colorado passes, they have plenty for the left side right now with girard toews byram

McMan97 ("Flames fan") trades Gaudreau for a cap dump and B+ prospect

Gaudreau will cost ALOT more than that, that is horrible.

Fair. But he's also a playoff performer, sand-paper (which they're missing other than Simmonds) and they retain his RFA rights. Also Dubas tried to acquire Brodie & Bennett the year before for Kadri so Dubas had/has interest.

Yeah, but Gaudreau has his limitations. Likely the return should be Patrick or Frost, but O'Brien is over a point a game at BU so it's not like he's a slouch.

Hall fetched a lot less then that one season prior. I wouldn't be so sure.

At any given time one of those guys plays his off-side. Gio would be a huge for a team contending that needs a veteran & capable D-man like him.

Like I said O'Brian is a B+ prospect, he's a 21 y/o former 1st rounder playing in an 18+ league. His numbers last year make me think his age plays a big role on his new found success

Thats fair. I think Philly would do one of Frost or Patrick. Would that change the trade value much in your eyes?

Well Bennett is 4th liner, Leafs don't have a spot for him Totally untrue that the Leafs don't have sandpaper....Hyman, Thornton, Simmons, Mikheyev, Tavares, Matthews.

Ageing vet to send them into cap hell even with retention because they aren't offloading any cap............. Avs decline.

Personally I like Girard more on the right it has opened up his offense and COL doesn’t need an expensive rental to play 3rd pairing because when (if) COL gets healthy this year Byram, EJ will be a great 3rd pairing. Timmins and Kaut aren’t assets you move for a guy destined for 3rd pairing minutes no matter how much is retained.

Ghost is a cap dump, the flames have gio, valimaki and hanifin who are all ahead of him, Same with hagg and o’Brian could bust who knows. So in summary the flames get two players in a position that they don’t need help at and a b prospect. 😂😂😂 hall got a lot more and the flames aren’t trying to rebuild so they wouldn’t really want prospects. That trade isn’t even remotely close to getting gaudreau, that a garbage trade for Calgary they would hang up the phone so fast after hearing that offer.

That calgary trade might just be the worst Gaudreau trade of all time. You know he's literally almost a ppg player his entire career right?
