Quoting: Terrifiedofeveryone
The Canes are giving up significant assets for a depth winger and a goalie with one year of team control.
Calgary is giving up a top-six C, a top-four D, and a Backup for two pending UFAs who provide no value to the Flames, a okay prospect, and a 2nd that’s years away.
Do you think Boston should trade a top 8 goalie locked into a well below market contract for 1.5 years for not significant assets?
I’d also argue your definition of significant assets is flawed. The only significant asset being discussed here is that first rounder and that only has real value if it’s flipped to Calgary or San Jose in a trade for a center. No real interest in Drury unless another team wants him and I’d rather allocate money to the free agent of our choice next offseason than take Bunting at all.
I could see a Ullmark and Lysell for Necas, Raanta, and a second rounder in 24
If Necas is off the table, maybe that first round pick surrounded by cap filler. Unfortunately, DeAngelo would need to be in for cap reason (hold my gag reflex) and my assumption is so would a goalie whether it be Kochetkov Or Raanta. I’d also guess a defender going back to Carolina like Zboril (with retention to make him a minimum player) or Mitchell.
The Calgary Trade is bad and frankly should be removed from the discussion because it is not even remotely realistic.
