Flames aren't trading Weegar for a rental and a 2nd. If Chychrun hits free agency then maybe we take a shot at signing him but that's about it

We’re not paying to move Whitecloud lol

Rather have Norris with no shoulders than PLD at 8.5 for 7 more years. Atleast you could LTIR Norris if he isn’t ready at training camp.

"JBD produces more offense than Whitecloud"

Just out of curiosity, why do you think that a guy who has produced 16 points in 95 games (1 point every 6 games) is ever going to be more productive offensively than a guy who has produced 55 points in 240 games (just under 1 point every 4 games)?

Man that LAK trade is a gamble. I like it though.

Bad trades dude.

We want nothing to do with PLD. I'd rather super glue Norris' shoulder back together than do PLD.

Whitecloud is on a really good deal and much more valuable than JBD (and I'm a JBD fan). Vegas ain't trading him, let alone paying to do so.

The Weegar ship sailed when he signed with Flames. As long as Calgary doesn't rebuild, he won't be moved. Even if they wanted to, he's a really good RD so it would cost a lot to get him, and Chychrun's value isn't great.

I doubt we get a 6th for Forsberg.

Pinto doesn't sign for that little. He's been playing 1C. If he signs longterm, expect a couple more million on that AAV

That might work for Andersson but only if Calgary can talk to Chychrun about an extension first.



Most GMs would disagree.

Norris has 5 less points in 23 less games…. We can just agree to disagree here. Cap is king why take more cap for worse player?

1) P-L Dubois is a big center who has a defensive conscience who can kill penalties. He's just not a good fit in L.A. Ottawa is barren of top 6 prospects need a replacement for Norris as he is a top 6 center.

2) Whitecloud is a great defenseman... Vegas is in cap hell, they'd like to keep their wiondow open. With less than $10M to fill out 7 spots they have to trim around the edges. Whitecloud is their 6th defenseman with suimilar players in their pipeline they will nbeed to make room for. $2.75M is a lot to pay for a 6th defenseman for a team with no cap space. Whitecloud also has a long-term which would be a little dangerous because not all players who do well as the 6th defenseman perform well when moved up the latter on a less talented team.

3) Agree on Weegar, but there were whispers he might want out until they started winning again. Cgy is rumoured to be still shopping Markkanen, and heard Kadri's name so Calgary might actually be in for a rebuild.

4) Chychun's value isd just fine. He hit double digits in goals which teams love, I believe he's 3rd in defenseman PP scoring. Only being 26 many teams would love to grab him. His value will be high at the draft. Plus defenseman that can play both sides makes them even more valuable, even if he is better on the LD side.

Because the worse player is the one who can't stay healthy and is probably only another injury or two away from going on LTIR for the rest of his contract. For just 500k and change more any competent GM will take the more durable player who's better without the puck too. Nobody is going to touch Norris and his contract.
