flames aint trading our best centre for that

your total for garland at 1m retained for 3.5 years is...
23 1st, Elias solomonsson

Canucks pass

I don't really know the players, but a quick look @ thier Hockey DBs and it sounds like a pretty good start.

Both 1st rounders. Logan Stanley looks like he's struggled a bit at the NHL, might be a bit of a reclamation project

Chaz Looks interesting, producing decently @ whl and ahl levels this season, right shot center. I would like to know more.

I think flames fans have to start accepting that Lindholm won't resign here. Management let the team flounder while Horvat and Meier got sold for a song, we should have been able to outbid those deals easy. Sutters making it his mission to suck the joy out of hockey. Finally it sure doesn't look like we'll be winning now or in the future.

Hm. Gotta think Garland at full value is worth a 3rd. 1 mil retained gets them Heinola (1st in 2019) and a 3rd.

I would add a bit more for lindholm but this is probably more than what the isles paid for Horvay with an 8 year extension.

if you think garland at full is worth a 3rd then you thought wrong, he is 2nd+ prospect, we can also take back some bad money if needed. Heinola is a risk, he could be a nice piece, but people were saying the same thing about juolevi

The Isles didn't trade for Horvat with an extension. They traded for pending UFA Horvat and then worked out an extension themselves afterwards.
