They could put Dube as the 4th line C and have Klapka playing on the right side with Kadri and Coleman, but that could restrict Dube's minutes which they likely don't want. Schwindt has shown the ability to win draws, giving him 8-10 minutes a game with 3 strong Centres ahead of him being able to double shift a few times a game if needed, won't be a huge issue with the other C's playing too many minutes. I don't know how overly concerned they are about the 4th line C, aslong as he's playing responsible minutes and not losing 70% of his draws.

As far as the D pairings go, I was just going off how Huska had them set with the last lineup before opening night. Anderson and Hanifin could end up together again, and maybe Tanev ends up with Gilbert and Zadarov/Weeger make the other pairing. I think Huska wants his top 4 being Weegar/Tanev/Anderson/Hanifin though.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RoyalBlueSabres</b></div><div>Well the xonditional pick would be like that a 1st that would turn to 2nd if he does resign. Idk just worded weird up top. But it doesn't matter because the value is way off.
Don't trade us Monahan then idk lol</div></div>

Yes it's a condition on if Hall re-signs, it's not a pick added, the second turns into a first.

Sam Bennet is worth a 2nd/3rd, so it's not just monahan.

I think the value you're putting on hall is way too high. Unlikely he's going to get anywhere close the rental price Arizona paid, and that was with like 50 games remaining in the season.

Depends if you guys feel confident in re-signing him I guess, but monohan has a good cap hit with term left, and Bennett is still under team control.

Flames will expose Giordano over Tanev, and Im fairly confident Gio will give the green light to being exposed, as it's highly unlikely Seattle wants a declining 36 year old that has only 1 year left at 6.75M.

Valimaki doesn't require protection at the draft since he didn't play at all last season.

This means either Dube or Mangiapane are going to be the likely players Seattle will go after. However, Lucic should waive his NMC to also be exposed, meaning a protection spot won't be required for him, as again Seattle probably won't want to use their selection to take on his contract, relative to earnings and where he is in his career.

Protection should be this (assuming there is no scoring winger added during this season requiring protection)

F- Gaudreau, Monahan, Tkachuk, Backlund, Lindholm, Mangiapane, Dube
D - Andersson, Tanev, Hanifin
G - Markstrom

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>InTreWeTrust</b></div><div>That is the Toronto mindset - overplay your number 1 cause you do not have a capable backup - we have a very capable backup in Rittich - I certainly would not pay to have someone take him</div></div>

Its a little different grasping at 700k goalies that no one wants because you have no money and you're reaching at straws half way through a season.

Tre already signed Dominque as a depth piece, which ironically was Toronto's answer at one point for their backup issue. Which alludes to him possibly considering trading Ritter if he thinks it can help make the team better.

This is more about what Ritters future with Calgary is beyond next season. If they arent going to re sign him, and there's no trust to play him in the playoffs if Markstrom does get hurt, then whats the point of keeping him for another year, if you feel you can make your team better by trading him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ansabch12</b></div><div>Why are we paying someone to take Rittich when he has 1 year left on his deal, thats really dumb. I doubt Granlund signs that sort of deal but if he was willing id be interested, If were signing another dman we should look into trading Kylington for someone who can effectively play in the bottom 6.</div></div>

Its just to clear cap. Tre signed Markstrom as the number 1 with a big cap number, so they don't really need to spend 2.75 mill this year for a backup that most likely won't be returning unless he signs for cheap.

Tre picked up 2 extra 3rds in about 20 minutes by trading down twice, so acting like giving up a 3rd to clear cap space is the dumbest thing out there seems a little over the top IMO.

Sujet: Gaud bye
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>why are flames fans obsessed with trading Gaudreau? like yeah sure he struggled this year, but hes the best forward this franchise has had since Iggy. Of his 6 seasons in Calgary, 3 have been a PPG+ including last years monstrous 99 point year. Even on a bad year like this season, he's still good for over 65 points and hes signed to a cheap contract. The only possible way I could see a gaudreau trade is if Flames won Laf, because they'd have Laf/Tkachuck as their left wingers</div></div>

The thing with Gaudreau is that hes not really a playoff performer that will lead a team, and he more than likely will test the market and/or just prefer to sign somewhere closer to his home area.

So it's either they hang onto him and hope he can get it going over the next few playoffs with the tougher playoff style, OR they look at trading him for a strong return before he becomes a rental player.

If there wasn't any concern about him leaving at the end of his contract I don't think Flames fans would be considering trading him at this point. Yes it's probably a season early, but it's definitely a situation Treliving is thinking about and has to consider.

Putting up 100 pts in the regular season and vanishing in the playoffs isn't really what the Flames are looking for. They're trying to get passed the "just make the playoffs" mentality and become an actual contender.

Which at this point, I don't think they are there yet with the current forward group.
