Take tanev and zadorov off the list they’re going to the leafs it’s just a matter of time

Carolina isn't dealing Pesce when they're trying to win a cup.

And zero chance of Noah Hanifin waiving for Edmonton when he wants to play in the States only.

Savard is the best Defensive D on the habs. He isn’t washed but injured. And for Xhekaj, a first or a prospect would be fine

I mean the Hurricanes want to move a defenseman just not that defenseman... I'd love to offer them a slightly used TDA

What do you think of taking all of Calgary's UFA D half retained but you gotta send Ekholm back.

Hanifin-Bouch
Nurse-Tanev
Zadorov-Deharnais

Lots of NTCs probably get in the way, and like you said, big rival overpay.

Just a musing I had, trying to get EDM out of cap hell.

You get out of here, I'm selling them to Jersey for peanuts right now just to spite Brad.

Calgary obviously has to take Cici and Kulak.

Parayko is not available, dude.

I dont see CGY helping EDM unless EDM really overpays

And then for most of these guys they wont improve the team or team wont move them

Now CBJ has Peeke, he could be a start in trying to fix things and wont cost to much

Ok sorry dude

Yea, it's a weird year for dmen. I was reaching on most of these. Not a lot available other than 3rd pairing guys

Only added him because of the rumours before the season

No worries.

Looking at how Hughes has been building the roster, Xhekaj isn't likely available.

Can’t retain on all those guys though
Max of 2 per team

I thought it was 3, I could very well be wrong on that.

Regardless,
you’re not gonna get CGY to take the contracts u guys wanna get rid of, & give u their trade bait (& at a discount) unless u throw them some MAJOR VALUE heading their way

I’m not a Flames fan,
but i just don’t see how your idea makes sense for CGY

Ekholm plus whatever value they can wring out of it. Ekholm for 3 years when Calgarys losing half its defense core isn't a small thing.

Except if they’re rebuilding then why would they want Ekholm as the major piece of value coming back ?
No chance of anything like that imo

Di....di.....did you just say..... Vlasic for a trade option?

Just curious, what year do you think it is right now?



Ok ok jokes aside, Vlasic even at 100% retained is not worth trading for. Pound for pound worst contract in the league.

They're not likely to rebuild, retool at best, not how the franchise operates. I've heard some rumors that they maybe evolving but I'll believe it when I see it.

If they trade half their defense,
Ekholm coming back isn’t gonna cut it if they’re trying to “retool” either

Have a prospect in Poirier coming up hopefully, I'd try and get Broberg back. Right side of Andersson and Weegar, Ekholm with Andersson, kids with Weegs and whoevers makes the left.

I also clarified that Kulak and Ceci would also be involved, so they would fill out the lines.

Doesn’t mean they’d be valued pieces CGY would have interest in
Your proposal seems bananas to me

It's OK to be wrong, you don't have to keep fighting up hill.
