EDM aint taking on Murray's aav. Even at this play. dumping monahan is not worth dube

What on earth is that Edmonton trade? Did you forget to add your next two firsts?

If we added our two first then you'd have to add Draisaitl.

You gotta pay to dump that Murray contract. You aren't getting picks back!

This deal saves Melnyk $9M in cash and he potentially upgrades at two positions (based on past 3 years of play). No chance this happens at all, but a rebuilding team might take it if Ottawa adds some picks.

Have you seen Murray play recently, he's been outstanding, Watson is also a hart and soul guy that is well liked, if any of those guys were paid to be taken something is seriously wrong.

Ok maybe I got a bit greedy here but Smith and Kassian are pure cap dumps and Murray has proven (when healthy, which I know is a big IF) to be a good goalie again even behind Ottawas terrible defence. Watson is a nice little kicker to fill out your botom six/replace a Kassian like player. So Ottawa takes on 11.8 mill in cap over three years and Edmonton takes on 14 mill in cap hit over the same time span and gets the better players, so yes EDM would have to throw in some picks.

Dumping Monahan is definitely worth Dube when you are adding Paul and Sanford. for your playoff push. Paul with Sutter is a match ade in heaven

LOL. Have you seen Murray play recently? He's lost his last 6 starts, he's 5.01 GAA and .836 sv% in his past 4. Yeah, I've been paying attention.

Over the past 3 years:

Kassian >>> Watson
Smith >>> Murray

Plus you have Ottawa saving $9M in cash. It's laughable that you think Edmonton would even do this trade, let alone add picks.

i mean sure but:

A. He has a NMC
B: You never see salary dumps with players. almost always picks. And Flames better off just going to Arizona and dumping a 2nd and 3rd for him

Im gonna say it. I dont hate the deal for Calgary. Id be willing to do without the 3rd so long as Paul is a sign and trade to Calgary. Dube has been lackluster this year and Calgary needs to move Monahan to keep the the intact this offseason.

I dont make these moves at the deadline but definitely get it done in the offseason.
