At least NJD and CGY still talking

Mentioned it above yep Ret was done which makes the Lindholm move odd as why not there to lul

You got 3 spots (well 2 now lul)

Got to think Hanifin's getting it to

You’d have to think whoever was just in second place for Tanev is calling Philly. I wonder if walker goes tonight too. Philly can maintain their 1st ask considering Tanev’s return. I need trades to help me get thru the oilers getting stomped by my team (oilers stomping my team momentarily) .

So Tanev double retained for 2nd + B level prospect + 4th (goes to NJ)

3rd goes if DAL goes to SCF which is a tall order considering EDM, VGK, AVS, Van are around

For all the bandwidth spent on Calgary retaining, not retaining…talking to Devils, not talking to Devils….

I feel like there is a sub-tweet to NJD brokering this deal.

In the end its not bad but still funny how CGY just took market value for both their guys rather than try to swindle. I feel Lindholm was the one exception and they could have got more if they ret lul

Why didn’t Tre outbid Dallas if that was all it took? Maybe Calgary is high on that prospect or just doesn’t want to trade with the leafs but still, seems like a missed opportunity.

He did back in NOV CGY had the chance for a blockbuster deal involving Zadorov + Tanev

But CGY decided they dont want to deal with the former GM

Didn’t want to move 1st
Didn’t have a 2nd.

(Is my guess)

Yah but we don’t know exactly what was offered do we, that was for both Z and Tanev.

Yah that’s probably it

Im pretty sure whatever it was would have been more then the combined stuff for what we saw Zadorov and Tanev get

No disrespect to either side but desperation and need would have been huge factors along with former GM tax lul

As for sure a 1st would have been the starting point

Because we don't have a 2nd round pick, and paying that price for a 34 year old pending UFA would've been a stupid decision. This isn't even revisionist, I've been dead against adding Tanev. Makes no sense IMO

I'm guessing the reason there wasn't salary retention in the Lindholm trade was that Vancouver sent Kuzmenko to Calgary to make the math work on their end. The Flames must have felt that betting on Kuzmenko bouncing back with a change of scenery was worth more than whatever additional compensation they would have garnered by retaining some of Lindholm's cap hit.

Chicago was the closest to offering him a contract (insider information lol), but never came to fruition. Hopefully we see something this offseason.

On a side note, the Blackhawks were also interested in Xaxier Parent, which is a weird coincidence. He's likely to get an NHL contract this offseason too.

On a sidenote, David Savard is now the best RHD on the market, so prepare for incoming Savard for 1st +

Fair enough about the second rounder but Tanev would have been a nice fit beside Rielly

I frankly don’t see why we’d move Savard right now, we cannot ice 6 u-25 D’s, Matheson and Savard are here to stay until their contracts expire imo, I think Philly’s Walker and Seeler just got a lot more interest

Hyman hits 40 goals with 25 games remaining on the schedule is not something I expected.

People actually think the Tanev deal is bad for Calgary??? Seriously?

They basically got market value rather instead of gauging for more not great for Conroy who held out. Its the same with Zadorov

A 2nd + decent prospect = fair value which at the TDL is what the seller dont want to be giving the buyer

Need to here DAL fans perspective on said prospect but yea its not looking good for CGY


Like look what Savard got out of CBJ 1st + 3rd no conditions with 4th going to DET to ret

The Hart = Kuchy or Mac-K or Mac-D or Aus-Matt...OR

ZACH HYMAN - from the crease, collecting 40-Garbage; says - ""HOLD MY BEER!!!!!""

Only 3 big names left this TDL

Hanifin, Henrique, and Markstrom

Now PIT, SEA, and WSH could make things interesting but its a wait and see

McDavid ends his goal drought at 10 games with the OT winner.
20 assists in 10 games (now 1 goal and 22 assists in his last 11).
Even in a drought he puts up 2 points a game.

I got a feeling for the remaining guys were gonna see a lot of PKG deals

Like

Novak + Fabbro

Seeler + Walker (If PHI decide to move on)

TVR + Dowd or Mantha
