not the best for cgy imo, value is a bit off and we don't need another goalie coming back

CGY’s looking to off-load Vladar for Cap Reasons and to make Room for Goalie Prospect & Phenom Dustin “Freaking” Wolf 🐺

So we wouldn’t take DeSmith back and that offer wouldn’t get you Zadorov alone either

Best to just keep DeSmith, because I don’t see Adin Hill signing for less than $3.5-4mil/yr

Vladar + Zadorov would likely cost POJ + Poulin + Legare or Svejkovsky + Nylander

That said, there’s a very good chance Big-Z signs long-term in CGY for $2-3mil/y and so wouldn’t be available

Jan Rutta doesn’t hold much value either, so he’s not gonna get you Duclair

Hawks decline. Granlund is nothing but a cap dump from the Hawks perspective

Do you think Vladar is #1 material? Any chance Calgary would move Markstrom?

Yes, Vladar is a 1B/Future Starter

I doubt it. Markstrom just had his first child born and holds a NMC, so it’s him who wouldn’t move. Also, he’s needed as mentor for Wolf and/or any other Goalie we bring in to the org

We just need Cap Space and Wolf has nothing left to prove in the AHL and is NHL Ready with HIGH Expectations, so that’s the only reason we’re looking to move Vladar

Thanks! Vladar is definitely intriguing. Maybe Pens bring back Jarry and add Vladar for a pick. Could be a solid tandem. Really have no idea what the Pens are going to do with their goaltending situation.

I have zero desire to sign bunting, maybe i'm alone there.

I don't think there is a chance in landing Compher. With Landeskog out next year already (and unfortunately imo maybe his career is done) Avs are 100% resigning Compher.

I think I'd pass on the Calgary trade. The other 2 I'd take for sure. UFA signings are good - although Compher is probably out of the picture for the Pens now. Little worried about Hill being a starter too
